Topic: HOWTON Installing OpenWRT on LaFonera has been modified

The content of this topic has been archived on 30 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Please read this Fonera (uder Installing OpenWrt with RedBoot section, last edited 2008-06-01 14:05:56 by jsefija). Apparently, the steps to upload and flash openwrt-atheros-root.squashfs firmware has been deleted and/or omitted. Can anyone please confirm and to restore this?

I use this on a fon2100 with serial console access to RedBoot:

RedBoot> fis init
RedBoot> load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma -m xmodem
RedBoot> fis create -e 0x80041000 -r 0x80041000 vmlinux.bin.l7
RedBoot> fis free [now do the calculation with bc]
RedBoot> load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} openwrt-atheros-root.squashfs -m xmodem
RedBoot> fis create -l 0x6F0000 rootfs
RedBoot> reset

$ bc
obase=16
ibase=16
A87E0000 - A80F0000
6F0000

NOTE: This example uses the XModem protocol to transfer the image to the router.

These are the parts that got removed/erased by the last editor jsefija. I have no idea if they got erased by a mistake or on a purpose. Someone needs to put it back before other newbies will get confused. Cheers.

UPATE: OpenWrtDocs/Hardware/Fon/Fonera (last edited 2008-06-03 07:57:44 by abraXxl) already restored the missing steps. Thanks.

The discussion might have continued from here.
