Build process
Follow OpenWrt Build system setup to prepare your build system/host.
git clone --branch prplos https://gitlab.com/prpl-foundation/prplos/prplos.git prplos

Flashing instructions
Flashing sysupgrade image from within U-Boot bootloader
In the uboot bootloader only the WAN port (red) can be used - all other ethernet ports are not active! So before booting the device via tftp or flash a firmware using the bootloader make sure that you connect the device's WAN port to your computer.
IPQ807x# tftpboot prplos-ipq807x-generic-prpl_haze-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
IPQ807x# setenv untar_addr_kernel; setenv untar_addr_root
IPQ807x# untar 0x$fileaddr 0x$filesize kernel root
IPQ807x# if test -n $untar_addr_kernel; then flash "0:HLOS" 0x$untar_addr_kernel 0x$untar_size_kernel; else echo "kernel is not found"; fi
IPQ807x# if test -n $untar_addr_root; then flash "rootfs" 0x$untar_addr_root 0x$untar_size_root; else echo "rootfs is not found"; fi
IPQ807x# flasherase rootfs_data
IPQ807x# reset
Known issues
Device is having random WAN/LAN MAC addresses
If you're experiencing random MAC address on the WAN/LAN interfaces and you see something like following in your dmesg:
GMAC2(ffffff8004cb58c0) Invalid MAC@ - using 4a:14:1d:9a:c2:40
then check, that you've board shipped with U-Boot 2016.01 and if that's the case, then you've probably hit the PCF-931 and you need to update U-Boot.
Download fixed lastest U-Boot release 2016.01.07-prpl file u-boot-2016.01.07-prpl.elfmbn and flash the board with the steps bellow:
setenv bootargs "console=ttyMSM0,115200n8 vmalloc=700M cnss2.bdf_pci1=0xa4"
saveenv
tftpboot 0x44000000 u-boot-2016.01.07-prpl.elfmbn
mmc erase 0x3222 0x600
mmc write 0x44000000 0x3222 0x600
