Gargoyle Pocket Router v2 on Hornet-UB x2

[megawut]

hi there,

i understand the hornet-ub x2 is supported by gargoyle(gargoyle pocket router v2), i was wondering if you guys could give me any ideas on how to install this on there as i'm having issues doing so.

I currently have a USB TTL UART used to transfer firmware, and have managed to install the latest trunk of OpenWRT, but when i try the appropriate version of gargoyle, which i believe is "gargoyle pocket router v2", i get Bad Magic Number errors.

Appreciate any help you can give,

thanks in advance.

How about giving us something to look at if you really want help? Such as the exact commands you are using and the entire contents of the resulting console so we can see exactly what is happening.

I am looking to see that you correctly transfered the image to your /tmp directory and then used sysupgrade.

This is a technical forum, please provide actual data.

thank you for replying,
method of transfer is tftp and putty via serial port:

here are the commands i used:

Code: Select all

setenv bootargs "board=ALFA console=ttyATH0,115200 rootfstype=squashfs,jffs2 noinitrd"
tftp 0xa0800000 gargoyle_1.6.2-ar71xx-generic-gargoyle-pocket-router-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
erase 0x9f050000 +0x790000
cp.b 0xa0800000 0x9f050000 0x790000

results in the log error:

Code: Select all

eth1 up
eth0, eth1
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
## Booting image at 9f050000 ...
Bad Magic Number

now if i follow the same steps above using this file "https://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_b ... pgrade.bin"
everything works fine and OpenWRT barrier breaker is installed nicely.

I also tried another method, once i got OpenWRT installed, SSH into the router then issued these commands and got this error:

Code: Select all

root@OpenWrt:~# cd /tmp
root@OpenWrt:/tmp# wget http://www.gargoyle-router.com/downloads/images/ar71xx/gargoyle_1.6.2-ar71xx-generic-gargoyle-pocket-router-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

Invalid image type.

I also issued this command:

Code: Select all

mtd -r write /tmp/gargoyle_1.6.2-ar71xx-generic-gargoyle-pocket-router-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin firmware

Which seemed to have forced the firmware update, rebooted the router to get the same "Bad Magic Number"

Let me know if you require more information.

You've got the file size wrong. The Gargoyle images are bigger than the OpenWRT BB images. Update your cp.b and erase commands to use the full 16M file size that the gargoyle images use.

Thanks for the reply, I tried updating the commands to the following:

Code: Select all

erase 0x9f050000 +0xF90000
cp.b 0xa0800000 0x9f050000 0xF90000

allowing for 16318464 bytes(F90000), but i'm still not having any luck and always seem to get the error "Bad Magic Number"

Bad Magic Number

maybe once gargoyle is upgraded to BB this might work as OpenWRT BB seems to work fine with this board, i've spent far too many hours sorting this out and no avail
