I have just started a new page for the ZyXEL NWA1123-AC access point. I already have a boot log of the OEM firmware via serial console. You can have a look here:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/zyxel/nwa1123-ac
With my current little knowledge the OEM boot log seems very promising to me that OpenWrt can support this AP.
I would like to kindly ask for some hints for doing the next steps, e.g. trying to flash OpenWrt and so on.
Thanks in advance!

Trying to boot OpenWRT from RAM with U-Boot. Fetching an uImage generated with the image builder, but the flash chip does not seem to initialize, the kernel can't find the root fs.
I would be grateful for some advice ... perhaps it got something to do with the GPIO on AR934x?
As the DIR 835 Rev A1 (https://wikidevi.com/wiki/D-Link_DIR-835_rev_A1) seems to have the same flash chip, I can't imagine what is wrong. I also tried an generated uImage which was built for DIR 835 A1, but it was the same: the mtd partitions could not be found, so I guess the flash chip was not detected.
Any hints would be gratefully welcome!
Below you can see the serial output when booting a kernel from chaos calmer (current trunk):

[ 82.540000] random: nonblocking pool is initializedSetting the BOARD parameter in the linux cmdline args (bootargs) improves the situation. The flash chip is detected. The question is: what does this board parameter ... I will have to look up, read much and understand ...
The rootfs could not be read properly, but I think this got something to do with the fact that it is the OEM rootfs and I didn't flash the OpenWRT rootfs so far ... I will give it a try later on.
Here the boot log with improvements:

I bought this device. If you need some testing let me know.
I'll look for my old serial nokia cable, I think it is needed to flash, right?

Thank you for your offer of testing! Currently I am very busy at work so I can't do much for this project, but I hope to be back again in about three weeks.
I don't know what the serial nokia cable does and therefore I can't tell you if you can use it. I am using a MAX3232 for level shifting and an USB to serial converter for connecting it to the computer. You can use the +3,3 V from the AP as the VCC for the MAX3232.
For testing I did a full backup of the flash rom first, this was a little bit tricky because u-boot only prints a memory dump, but this can easily be converted to a binary file with linux text/bin utils. I then flashed the rootfs via u-boot. For my experiments I load different kernels via tftp to the AP's RAM and boot them.
Do you have experience with writing kernel drivers? I will need to write to the OpenWRT developer mailing list and possibly to ZyXEL too, but it will take some time as I wrote above.
If you have any other questions please let me know, perhaps I can help you.
I had a similar issue recently with an older Zyxel (P870HNU-51c).. Thanks to help from danitool I was able to resolve by adding a pad in the image generation parameters.
See notes below.
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=56921
About mtd partitions, for some reason the kernel is not recognizing the rootfs as a valid squashfs. I suspect the CFE has double image protection. This means sometimes it will flash/boot images to/from the middle of the flash. To force the use of whole flash, and flashing always after the end of CFE, you should pad the image to at least 1/2 the flash size.
Add the parameter --pad 16 to the image ImageDTB generator line.
In your case this would be --pad 8
With that said your exact error has some variation and you are not using CFE so it is possible this is something else but worth a shot.. Hope this helps!

Hi guys!
I just recently bought 2 units of Zyxel NWA1123-AC for my new house. Yep, that big... 
I'm also into getting OpenWrt running, but I thought of another route (unless this is already tried) to get the complete software & build instructions from Zyxel since the unit is delivered with a GPLv2 license. This will give me better insight how the product works with regards to the various settings etc.

Hello again!
And now I am the holder/owner of the OpenSource part of the binary for NWA1123-AC v2.00. There is also some binary blobs for the wifi chip that the US FCC limits us from access. Currently trying to study these source code parts. In the mean time also asking for the newly updated v2.10 firmware release.
Hello olba,
Sorry for reviving an old thread but the lack of PM on the forum forces me to do this.
Can you please upload the GPL code archive you received from Zyxel to somewhere like mega.nz or Google drive or another file storage site ? I am having difficulty sourcing this from Zyxel themselves.
I think Zyxel themselves are using a version of OpenWRT on the original firmware so it shouldn't be too much trouble to add support for the device.
We need to write the appropriate rootfs on the NAND using TFTP and Uboot then we have to specify the correct partition layout to the kernel (and also specify where it can find the rootfs to make sure the rootfs is detected).
It looks like scoe did this and got it working but no news from him. Maybe he will get a notification after my post here and come back to us ...
did you get a reply from zyxel?
I'd like to try an openwrt distro on it, it seems it crashes after a few weeks with stock firmware.

You can find the stock firmware source here: github.com/kodolok/nwa1123-ac
It's indeed based on OpenWRT Attitude Adjustment.
Btw you can use the "DB120 reference board" as a target when building OpenWRT from trunk, just don't forget to add ath10k for the ac radio.
It will boot and recognize the flash chip with the stock bootargs and will even detect the two radios.
The problem is somewhere near the built-in switch (or switches?). It will recognize an AR934X switch as switch0, but swconfig show that only port0 is connected on that.
On the PC connected to the device wireshark shows dhcp discovers from the device (the wan interface is configured to dhcp client by default). If I set the wan to static, the dhcp discovers disappear, but when I try to ping the PC, I only see arp requests repeatedly.
The arp command lists 00:00:00:00:00:00 as the MAC of the PC's IP.
I hope someone who knows openwrt better than me can figure this out. If you have something please share!

Hi there,
I am back again, but I don't know for how long. Thank you all for your contributions! I have just compiled OpenWrt r6796-56ae9f9, including ath10k firmware. I have tried a plain, LAN network config without VLAN, switch config or whatever. Here it is:
File: /etc/config/network
config interface 'loopback'
option ifname 'lo'
option proto 'static'
option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
option netmask '255.0.0.0'
config interface 'lan'
option ifname 'eth0'
option proto 'dhcp'Directly after booting with the above config the switch shows that the eth0 interface is only 10mbit, half-duplex. The switch is detected as eth1, I have checked the status with this command:
swconfig dev eth1 showResetting the switch with
swconfig dev eth1 set reset
swconfig dev eth1 set applychanged the port state to gigabit LAN as it should be. The show command produces the following for port 0 after resetting:
...
Port 0:
enable_mirror_rx: 0
enable_mirror_tx: 0
pvid: 0
link: port:0 link:up speed:1000baseT full-duplex txflow rxflow
...Then, even DHCP works, but there are problems with massive packet loss. I realized this when I tried pinging from both sides:
OpenWrt -> PC: 22% packet loss
PC -> OpenWrt: 85% packet loss
I guess we need to examine the switch in more detail. On the other hand it could be a driver issue as well.
The discussion might have continued from here.
