Hi I have this board that originally came with only 2 Mb flash spi and 8 MB ram + vxworks
I soldered 16 MB ram and have tried 4Mb and 8Mb spi flash with redboot .
I can see in serial console that redboot boots fine but the board immediately  reboots.
I have tried many redboot versions from dd-wrt ap51 ap61 and all of them do the same thing.
I have worked with many routers installing openwrt on them but never had anything like this.

my board is exactly as the one on this pic.

I know this is an old board, It would be easy to just get a new one but I hate to throw away perfectly good hardware specially AR-2316 based.

I would appreciate any help I can get installing openwrt on this
regards

Anyone?

I just found out per these links:

https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Atheros

That this board is actually an AP55 not AP52 as the vxworks bootloader suggests.

Does anyone here know where I can download a redboot.rom for this platform, as I lack the skills to compile for myself.

I'm more of a hardware kind of guy.

thanks
