Install on Wireless Space 2

[mathlab89]

I guess you meant "ls" :)

root@fvdw-sta-kirkwood:/ # ls /sda7
bin boot dev etc linuxrc mail opt root share usr
bin_cab clunc direct-usb lib lost+found nowhere proc sbin sys var

oops you are right, I worked last days on dos commands :twak .
Seems firmware is installed but the device did not bootbthe firmware as boot.log is missing.
Then the logical explanations are:
1. The kernel included in 18-3 has a problem with the wireless space
2. You made an error in the command to open the backdoor.

For point 1 I can check if 18-3 works on wsp2, I have one somewhere. Will try to do that tomorrow.
For point 2 you can check in uboot terminal if the bootcmd parameter has been set correcly by using the printenv command

No worries I understand :)

here is the bootcmd param :

Code: Select all

printenv bootcmd
printenv bootcmd
bootcmd=disk 0x800000 0:6 ; setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda7 ; bootm 0x800000;

Thanks for checking.
If this is an issue with firmware 18-3 maybe there is a previous version working?

seems the kernel that comes with 18-3 does not run on wsp2. I have no time on the moment to recompile the kernel.
You can use the attached 4.6.6 kernel and modules instead.
(unpack the zip file)
To install it load the standalone kernel and give these commands, change 192.168.1.111 by actual ip of your pc running the console.

Code: Select all

tftp -r UIMAGE-466-KIRKWOOD-45 -l UIMAGE-466-KIRKWOOD-45 -g 192.168.1.111
tftp -r modules-466-45.tar -l modules-466-45.tar -g 192.168.1.111
dd if=/UIMAGE-466-KIRKWOOD-45 of=/dev/sda6
mkdir /sda7
mount /dev/sda7 /sda7
mkdir/sda7/lib/modules/4.6.6
cp modules-466-45.tar /sda7/lib/modules/4.6.6/
cd /sda7/lib/modules/4.6.6
tar -xvf modules-466-45.tar
cd /

You also might need to adapt bootcmd using uboot terminal to add an ide reset to let the bootloader detect the disk

Code: Select all

setenv LaBackdoor yes
setenv bootcmd 'ide reset; disk 0x800000 0:6 ; setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda7 ro ; bootm 0x800000;'
saveenv

You are a genuis, it worked directly :)

Thank you so much. I would like to donate to thank you for the great help you provided. With this version will I be able to download addons?

[fvdw]

Thank you for compliment and yes with this version you can download addons after befoming a donator ;)

ps the only difference is that you now use a different kernel but this kernel is capable to run the firmware.
If a new version comes out with same kernel as in 18-3 then again the 4.6.6 kernel needs to be installed on a wsp2 until the kernel bug is solved.

I struggled for 2 days, trying to install it, even if it was not compatible you spent some time to resolve it. I really appreciate it! Thanks again. I have already donated, ID is 60K14397XB7206914
