Hi Guy's,

Im just getting into this subject after my Meraki kit subscription ended and that wanted £500 to renew it. So I managed to follow this github.com/riptidewave93/Openwrt-MR24/blob/master/README.md#flashing to gain access boot but I think I have screwed up the flash some how.

Can anyone give me some pointers where to go with this please!!

The guide you linked was for the Meraki MR24 only as no one has ported the MX60 to OpenWRT/LEDE at this time. Sadly without a copy of the original firmware, at this time there is not much you can do.

Good news though is I have a MX60 enroute that I hope to get ported over to LEDE in the future, but no ETA on when that will be.

Looks like this is the dst for the MX60 board (bluestone) its obviously used for a few devices.

github.com/riptidewave93/meraki-linux/blob/093132b26f2873b4e30a8c58523339ebd90f2b07/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/bluestone.dts

So as I have this is there an idiots guide to building an image for this device? I have access to uboot and tftpboot and bootm seem to work. I can boot from the MR24 image, but I don't get any response from the console after the image is un-compressed seeing a its using the same SoC I was expecting at least this!!. Im probably missing several steps as I don't know what Im doing!

Bluestone is what the boards are "based" on, but it is not the correct dts for the boards. For example, the MR24 uses the ikaram.dts file with some changes for the 4.4 kernel.

You are more than welcome to try and start porting the code over into LEDE for this board, but it will require it's own dts with support for the atheros switch. For now, my 2c would be to wait as I should get mine within a week so I can start getting this ported into LEDE.

EDIT: A port has been started, and you can build the firmware and test it from the Repo at https://github.com/riptidewave93/LEDE-MX60

Thanks Chris that all worked fine. I can't believe how good this system is. I have more or less all the functionality I had with the MX60. Awesome!

Glad to hear! As for the device, I will post images every now and then to https://github.com/riptidewave93/LEDE-MX60/releases until this code gets merged upstream into LEDE, which should be soonish.

EDIT: Code has been merged into LEDE!
