    ath79: Add support for TP-Link TL-WR1043N v5 · d4b89b71
    Adrian Schmutzler authored
    Specifications:
    
     - QCA9563 at 775 MHz
     - 64 MB RAM Zentel A3R12E40CBF-8E
     - 16 MB flash Winbond W25Q128FVSG
     - 3 (non-detachable) Antennas / 450 Mbit
     - 1x/4x WAN/LAN Gbps Ethernet (QCA8337)
     - reset and Wi-Fi buttons
    
    TP-Link TL-WR1043N v5 appears to be identical to the TL-WR1043ND v4,
    except that the USB port has been removed and there is no longer a
    removable antenna option. It also has different partitioning scheme.
    
    The software is more in line with the Archer series in that it uses a
    nested bootloader scheme.

    Installation on HW rev.5:
    
    Factory firmware can be installed via the WEB interface.
    
    Alternatively, it is also possible to use a TFTP server
    for recovery purposes:
     - Rename OpenWRT or original firmware to WR1043v5_tp_recovery.bin
     - Set static IP of your PC to *192.168.0.66*
     - Router will obtain IP 192.168.0.86 for a few seconds while
       loading, when reset button pressed at power On.
    
    And finally, there's always u-boot access through the UART.
