I came onto a Trendnet TEW-827DRU Version 2 that is MT7621an with
MT7615E x 2 wifi chips.  I was able to get UART output and stock has
these partitions:

I reviewed all the mt7621 *dts files and none have an art_block.

grep -rn "art_block" target/linux/ramips/dts/

target/linux/ramips/dts/mt7621_elecom_wrc-1900gst.dts:31: label = "art_block"; target/linux/ramips/dts/mt7621_elecom_wrc-2533gst.dts:30: label = "art_block"; target/linux/ramips/dts/mt7621_elecom_wrc-1750gs.dts:31: label = "art_block";

My understanding is that for Qualcomm, the art* partition contains
Atheros calibration data. I'm lost as to what and art_block is on a
mediatek device.  Trendnet can be lazy with partition naming - the
TEW-810 has a partion referred to a D-Link.

Does this partition contain any data or is empty? I suppose you can just ignore it (keep it as read-only), it looks like copy&paste mistake made by original board manufacturer.

I did find a "firmware2" partition -
mt7621_asus_rt-acx5p.dtsi, a "second_config" - mt7621_mtc_wr1201.dts
that are about the same size and position.


Are there any Mediatek experts that can enlighten me and point me in the
right direction?

Thanks in advance
