About Check Point L-50 device support

I have a Check Point L-50 device want to install Openwrt, I find it Officially not supported.
https://openwrt.org/inbox/toh/check_point/check_point_l-50
What's 'Support is ready but there is no core Developer' mean? The bootloader and image can download.

From https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/2719 :

grafik

That means that before this pull request can be accepted (i.e. before official OpenWrt support for this device can be added and before official images are downloadable from downloads.openwrt.org), a developer (other than Adrian) is needed to review the pull request.

Those are unofficial images compiled by someone else. Those are not official OpenWrt images compiled by the OpenWrt buildbots.

thanks quick reply.
It seems more requests waiting for review, I will waiting.
thanks tmomas. :smiley:

You can install OpenWRT on this device and confirm in PR that everything works properly :wink:

I'm not sure which mac address need use setenv command to set to which port.

In OEM bootlog, it list from port-0 to port-9, not display which mac is WAN, DMZ, LAN1-8. do you know which port is which mac?

Method 1. Step one says:
make backup dsl_mac_addr, dmz_mac_addr, eth1addr, ethaddr and all lanX_mac_addr

Command 'printenv' print u-boot enviroment variables. Or open in hex editor backup of second parition (bootldr-env).

Method 2. First address should be written on label. Next is incremented by 1.

I have finished below steps:

  1. backup u-boot and bootldr-env to bin files, save the files to may PC via tftp.
  2. printenv command cannot display mac address, the out put as bleow.

  1. get all macs use hex editor from bootldr-env, expcet one named 'hw_mac_addr' not in example.
  2. have uploaded kwboot and u-boot.kwb to device for install.

This is my first time install boot loader, so I have below questions.

  1. in step two, after run 'kwboot -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b u-boot.kwb -p -t', how to start u-boot? need reboot the device?
    2.below 2 files, which need install after update boot loader? what's the difference between 2 files?

Thanks.

Hi,

printenv command cannot display mac address, the out put as bleow.

enter this command in u-boot console

Answers:

  1. It load u-boot to ram, show output from serial console
    You can aslo ask author in PR or in this thread.
  2. first image (-initramfs-uImage) use in step five, and second (-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin) in step six

The thread is Polish, I don't know what is mean... :sweat:
I try to register the forum account but failed, maybe I will send email to PR author to seek help.
Thanks olek210.

Translation services do exist.

I found the CheckPoint L-50 device has been supported, but it not like other image just upload one file to finished install.
I have tried install the current image to the router according install steps, but found not found kwboot file on website.
I find a kwboot file from internet, copy the command from step 2 and run, but get error message, I think because of different version kwboot.
so, I have 2 questions:

  1. where can find out the kwboot file that author used?
  2. Is there the version image file will publish that can just upload to router will install?
    thanks

kwboot is part of the u-boot source code

To build it, do the following

git clone https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot.git
cd u-boot
make defconfig && make tools-all

kwboot will be in the tools directory.

I have find out available kwboot from internet, I'm not good at compile, so......
thanks you for your help.
