Gargoyle Forum

Can somebody please help me solve this issue ? The people who made DD-WRT's MicroRedBoot do not seem to be too willing to help me find out why my problem happens.

Fon flashing utility does the following commands :

fis load -l vmlinux.bin.l7
exec

After quite a while, I see no progress has been made and unplug my router ( Engenius EOC-2610 ) from mains power. After reboot I can access RedBoot at any time and I receive ping replies but the firmware has not been loaded at all into the device as if the Fon flashing utility has not been run.

OK...

So you have an EOC-26, and it has the DD-WRT micro Redboot.

1) Log into redboot and do the command:

fconfig -l

cut/paste the list into this message

2) Whenever you flash an atheros device, especially the devices
based on the AR231X series (2315/2317/etc) they flash SLOW.

You have to leave the device for about 30 minutes!
It usually takes anywhere from 15-25 minutes, so 30 minutes is
a good safe time window to allow the flash to complete successfully.

3) What firmware are you trying to flash? Are you trying to
flash Gargoyle 1.2 series? 1.3 series? DD-WRT?

Need a bit more info to assist you.

DD-WRT's MicroRedBoot has a hardcoded boot script :

fis load -l linux
exec

I want to get openwrt onto this device.

Do you have a EOC-2610 ? Please help me by following these steps :

Try this :

1. Make sure your EOC-2610 is running OpenWRT or a derivate distribution ( RobinMesh )
2. Log into your EOC-2610 using SSH
3. Run "cat /proc/mtd"
4. Make sure that mtd0 is described as RedBoot
5. Run command "dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=/tmp/redboot.rom"
6. Use WinSCP to transfer redboot.rom to your computer
7. Upload redboot.rom to 2shared.com

THANKS !
