Try it like this:
Code: Select all
wget http://www.gargoyle-router.com/downloads/images/ar71xx/gargoyle_1.12.0-ar71xx-generic-gargoyle-pocket-router-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin -O /tmp/firmware.bin
sysupgrade -i -n /tmp/firmware.bin
and paste the screen output here.
wget
http://www.gargoyle-router.com/download ... e-pocket-r
outer-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin -O /tmp/firmware.bin
The order is probably too long for you. I use the "
Putty" program under Windows and here the command works.
I used Putty now. This is what I got :
root@Gargoyle:~# wget
http://www.gargoyle-router.com/download ... ar71xx/gar
goyle_1.12.0-ar71xx-generic-gargoyle-pocket-router-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin -O

Yes, this message is very important.

It looks like Gargoyle Pocket V2 doesn't support full reflash (factory) and that's why I think you're done with version 1.10.0 (OpenWrt Chaos Calmer platform).

But you will need to contact the Gargoyle Administrator (@Eric) for further action.
P.S. Also check (from the label on the router) if it is the correct type and version of firmware.

So I used the original command line copied and edit it with this :
gargoyle_1.12.0-ar71xx-generic-gl-ar150-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
It did the upgrade. Seems ok....
Thank you.
