How to install Gargoyle on FON2201

[mmoloch]

I've been trying to install Gargoyle 1.4.7 on a FON2201 but without success, I can do the full installation but after the first reboot does not work, only the wlan led blinks.~

I can easily install and run multiple versions of dd-wrt without problems using redboot, flashfon or ap51 easyflash. I have not tried installing gargoyle using redboot because I do not know if the commands are the same as installing the dd-wrt.

For the dd-wrt do the following:

Ping method and redboot with putty

fis init -f
ip_address -l 192.168.1.1
ip_address -h 192.168.1.2
fis init
load -r -v -b 0x80041000 root.fs
fis create -b 0x80041000 -f 0xA8030000 -l 0x002C0000 -e 0x00000000 rootfs
load -r -v -b 0x80041000 vmlinux.bin.l7
fis create -r 0x80041000 -e 0x80041000 -l 0x000E0000 vmlinux.bin.l7
fis create -f 0xA83D0000 -l 0x00010000 -n nvram
reset

After this it should work but if does not boot I can make a NVRAM reset...

Ping method and redboot with putty

fis erase -f 0xA83D0000 -l 0x00010000
fis load -l vmlinux.bin.l7
exec

To install the gargoyle are the same commands? What should I do to install and run gargoyle in FON2201?

Thanks

there is windows based utility available to flash firmwares ...

http://www.gargoyle-router.com/download ... indows.zip

and download appropriate firmware and flash it ... i just used that utility to flash my OM1P to 1.2.5 version ... it works great .. just hardware watchdog issue to be solved and i am working on it ...

Gargoyle 1.2.5 should be the last version you use on a Fon 2201

Those routers had 8MB Flash, 16MB Ram, and a 180mhz processor.

They did not have a lot of power and the newer versions of
Gargoyle take up much more resources because of all the features
added. Stick with 1.2.5

I tried both version 1.2.5 and 1.4.7 both worked for me...but that hardware watchdog issue is still unsolved.. router reboots after every 5 minutes....so there is no use unless it gets proper uptime...please solve that issue if anyone have idea share...
