OpenWRT flash ap-105 notes
https://openwrt.org/toh/aruba/ap-105 Parts used: ------------------ 1 x upcycled chromebook running linux configured with minicom and tftpd 2 x patch cables 1 x openwrt router with two lan ports with network of 192.168.133.x/24 Flashing steps: ------------------ 1. Download initramfs and sysupgrade to your tftp server from link above. I added symlinks to shorten names. 2. Hook into UART (9600 baud) and pause boot (note: if not accepting input, turn hardware flow off). 3. Once at a prompt, tftp boot the initramfs image:setenv apb_rb_openwrt "setenv ipaddr 192.168.133.16;setenv serverip 192.168.133.110; netget 0x84000000 ap105.bin; go 0x84000040" setenv apb_fb_openwrt "cp.b 0xbf040000 0x84000000 0x10000;go 0x84000040" setenv bootcmd "run apb_fb_openwrt" saveenv run apb_rb_openwrt4. Once booted, scp over the sysupgrade file. The ap-105 set ip address to 192.168.1.1, so on my tftp box I added a second address on my adapter so the ap-105 could talk to it with something like:ip address add 192.168.1.5/25 dev eth0:15. Now that the ap-105 could talk to my tftp box, scp over the sysupgrade file:scp linux@192.168.1.5:/srv/tftp/ap105_sysupgrade.bin /tmp/6. Now sysupgrade:sysupgrade -n -v /tmp/ap105_sysupgrade.binPlease know the first boot takes a long time.
