Hi mali,

Hi, I got a new device that seems like a MPR-A1 clone (labeled as MPR-M1). The PCB looks like a MPR-A1 v1.4 (compared to the picture posted by p1vo in post 444).
The interesting thing is, that it has allready a 32 MB RAM-Chip (Samsung K4S561632E-TC75, 16M x16).
Unfortunatly the system only recognizes 16MB, even though the resistors are set like the ones in post 444.

How can I get the system to recognize the whole RAM?

what does U-Boot an the starting Linux print on the console ?

What are you flashing?  I assume it's not a version which has 16M set on the kernel command line.

The memory is set to 32Mbyte by bootstrap.  But is set to 16Mbyte afterwards:

It seems that you use the installed software which set the memory to 16Mbyte as lizby already stated.
Please try to use OpenWrt trunk and modify the flash type and size in target/linux/ramips/dts/MPRA2 or:
http://lnxpps.de/openwrt/hame-mpra5/mpr-a5_minimal.bin
for testing.

Thanks, I flashed the mpr-a5_minimal.bin via tftp and have now the full 32MB.

Has anyone made a better antenna or connector for external antenna for the Hame A5? I would like to solder some longer wire to the pcb to increase signal strenght.

There are two quite big pads near the RT5350F which look a bit like ground and signal pads but I'm not sure they are the right ones.

@bertc3p0
I've seen your boot log with uboot version 1.1.8. Could you share your uboot image please?

By the way, seems I found a simple way to make serial console stable - I inserted 1kOhm resistor between USB-UART Tx pin and HAME Rx pin. Now it always boots up with serial port connected.

Sorry for the delay - I had a busy weekend ...

Please find the MPR-A5 Uboot 1.1.8 binary under:
http://lnxpps.de/openwrt/hame-mpra5/bin … _1.1.8.bin

Sure - there are more ways to solve the startup problem while the console is connected. Your solution is a cheap and easy one. My approach is quite expensive but should work for every router ...

Hi, I am trying to find the serial RX/TX pins on this mpr-a1 clone, but even if I tried almost every possible combination I don't get any feedback at 57600N1, any idea?

On the device there is the latest uboot version from HAME running and an openwrt initrd image, that I compiled, which is using the lan port as WAN in place of LAN (so no way to login via telnet).

Turkey, that I downloaded from the following fotodaki http://www.hamedata.com/html/server/download.html HAME_A8/A8P_V1.5.2 accidentally software product (A8 battery 15mA, A8P 1800mA battery) firmware installed.
When I turn on the red light directly to the device. Reset button and turn bright blue light. TFTP program via Ethernet bağlantığımda do not move at all. Rs232 tried to find the ends, but did not succeed.
Waiting for friends who help with information.
1 -) Can I upload the firmware via RS232?
2 -) which firmware to install?

Hello everyone,

i have a Hame MPR-A1 clone named "YUN2000"

I found the Console connection.

http://i.imagebanana.com/img/3oi89tch/thumb/IMG_20130804_1944041234464231.jpg

Its important to connect the GND after the Router is started otherwise it will not start.

To connect use 57600 8N1

Hi all, I have recently bought a clone board containing the Ralink RT5350F as can be seen here: ralink front and here: ralink back.

The serial connector is working as intended, and the router works as it should, however, I cannot for the life of me get the OpenWRT firmware to flash using the TFTP method. I know the TFTP server is up and running as I can communicate with it from other devices, but when I try to flash the firmware to the router, I get an error either stating that the checksum is bad (?) or that the connection timed out.

I have set my Ubuntu machine to have a static IP address on the eth0 interface (192.168.1.2) and the router has the ip 192.168.1.1 at boot (set through setenv during the boot sequence).

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Use tcpdump to see whats going on. Use short names (e.g test.bin) - sometimes tftp (client or server) doesn't like long names ...

Awesome, thanks, I will try that later on when I get home from work.

I have already renamed the .bin file to something short (openwrt.bin) so that shouldn't be an issue. I will post the log output later on too. I have a feeling that the issue lies with the IP address of the devices boot loader. Is there a way to set this manually so I can be sure I have the correct settings?

Thanks!

Hi, I have since given up using my Linux machine to do this with as it is far too slow, and the hard drive is too small to compile any .bin files (8gb hard drive, it's an old Acer Aspire One).

Here is the output of my hyperterminal window when I try to flash the firmware:

This just repeats and doesn't do anything after this. Is everything set up properly? I can download the .bin file from other machines when the host machine is connected to the main network.

I'm really confused about all this stuff.

Thanks.


EDIT - SOLVED! I didn't realise you had to PUT the file using the software, I thought it would just automatically transfer if the names and IPs are all correct. My apologies. Now to find a binary that works properly tongue

2ND EDIT - ERROR.

So I thought I was making progress, however, when I try to flash the .bin file through TFTP, it results in an 'illigal image' error. Below is the output of the flashing process. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm completely stumped.

Hi, I would try this, but I cannot access the bootloader menu selection anymore. When it boots up, it does not allow me to type anything into the terminal window and immediately boots to option 3 (which no longer works).

Any idea what I've done? I'm tearing my hair out here tongue

EDIT - I can boot into TFTP by holding down the hardware button on the device, but this doesn't help as any images that are flashed through this method are 'illegal images' apparently.

If you whould can you please try the upper pins from the 4 Resistors directly under the Ralink Chip (4 black resitors in a row).

I am still having no luck flashing any images to my router, I am still having the 'illegal image' message. Does anyone know what this means and how can I fix it?

Thanks.

I had a problem with my device.
It seemed to be working, but when i went to the router site(192.168.169.1),
there was this Virtual Blue Color button, and i pressed that.
After that, all i get is a Red Flashing light, which never turns Blue.

Later, i tried using it as a router, and went to the site, and hit the button again.
Now even in the router mode it shows a red blinking light.

Any suggestions on how i can fix this?

Thanks!

Here is what i did, which may have caused it to fix.
I let it on for an hour or so, tried to drain its battery. Later, i tried hitting the reset button with a Pin.Hit is leave it, about 10-20 times. Hit reset in all stages. First at C, then at R.
Later keep it pressed(reset), and leave it on, then turn it on and off,2-3 times.
And it got fixed.
I dont know what the exact issue was, and how it got fixed(probably got reset).
Has anyone else experienced this?
Any suggestions on a permanent Fix?

Thanks
