Just curious if any of you could help me with flashing Reaver Pro on a ALFA Network Hornet-UB
in case many of you are not aware Reaver Systems has released their firmware my problem is im not sure how you find the codes and all that to flash the firmware for example;

http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/alfa.network/hornet-ub

shows how to install OpenWRT on a ALFA Network Hornet-UB
now Reaver Pro does use OpenWRT however i can't for the life of me manage to upload the Reaver Pro firmware to the Firmware part in OpenWRT

I assume their has to be some kinda Hex number that needs to be changed maybe in the Reaver Pro bin to get it to upload
Any chance any of you can possibly explain how to figure out the codes to flash the ALFA Network Hornet-UB with the Reaver Pro Bin?

I have no ideal how they code these codes
tftp 0xa0800000 openwrt-ar71xx-generic-hornet-ub-jffs2-sysupgrade.bin
erase 0x9f050000 +0x790000
cp.b 0xa0800000 0x9f050000 0x790000

i assume you need the hex codes like that to flash Reaver Pro onto a ALFA Network Hornet-UB

These are commands you run it the bootloader (uBoot) to tell it what to do. Step by step this is what it does:

1: Tells it to pull the file "openwrt-ar71xx-generic-hornet-ub-jffs2-sysupgrade.bin" from a tftp server and loads it to a memory address of 0xa0800000 which will be somewhere in the RAM.

2: This command tells the bootloader to erase a section of the flash, starting at address 0x9f050000 that is 0x790000 long.

3: Last but not so very least! Copy the information starting at address 0xa0800000 and put it at address 0x9f050000, only copying 0x790000 amount of bytes.

All of those commands you posted will need to be entered in to the bootloader.

Did you get that package to upload to that AP?

The discussion might have continued from here.
