WP543: Can not upgrade firmware

Post by mems »

I have tried to upgrade firmware on WP543, but it is impossible. The sysupgrade is said not support on WP543.

>root@Gargoyle:/tmp/up# sysupgrade upgrade
>Sysupgrade is not yet supported on wp543.
>Image check 'platform_check_image' failed.
>root@Gargoyle:/tmp/up# ls

I have tried mtd
>root@Gargoyle:/tmp/up# mtd write upgrade /dev/mtd4
>Unlocking /dev/mtd4 ...
>Writing from upgrade to /dev/mtd4 ... [e]Failed to erase block
>root@Gargoyle:/tmp/up#

I have tried bin2trx
>root@Gargoyle:/tmp/up# bin2trx upgrade >upgrade.trx
>ERROR: Invalid bin/trx file, no header found
>root@Gargoyle:/tmp/up# ls

Does anyone have any idea how to upgrade function working on WP543 ?

Thanks in advance

Are you referring to that device?

Most users here use home based routers, not these boards.

Please put as much detail as possible when requesting help

That being said, have you tried TFTP recovery / flashing?

What you might be running into is running out of memory to flash.

What you could do is this:

1) put the oldest supported OpenWRT firmware back on

2) from the Luci interface, flash the latest version of Gargoyle

or

Try to use the TFTP method to install latest Gargoyle version

I don't know if any users here have any experience with this board.
