You failed to calculate LENGTH! Have a look here.

Hi Mazilo,
I have intentionally writed 0xLENGTH in order to let the user to calculate on its own the proper value.
The meaning of this post was only to show that the reflashing of the FON 2200 can be done also if some error messages are present.
Thanks
Davide

If you want to do such a thing, please kindly add some notes to clearly show about your intention to readers; otherwise, your intention is really BAD here even though you're trying to help!

RedBoot> fis free
0xA80F0000 .. 0xA87E0000

0xLENGTH = 0xA87E0000-0xA80F0000

openwrt@ubuntu-laptop:~$ bc

obase=16
ibase=16
A87E0000 - A80F0000
6F0000

LENGTH = 6F0000

And for flashing the fon2100 it's like this if you use the serial console to transfer the images.

fis init
load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma -m xmodem
fis create -e 0x80041000 -r 0x80041000 vmlinux.bin.l7
fis free
load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} openwrt-atheros-root.squashfs -m xmodem
fis create -l 0xLENGTH rootfs
reset

If you read posts in this thread carefully, I already provided the link to show how to calculate the LENGTH. big_smile

The discussion might have continued from here.
