Yeah, the best solution would be to use U-boot as second-stage bootloader to boot OpenWrt.
That way, RouterBoot, and everything is preserved.
I was working some more on U-boot, it boots OpenWrt fine, but there is an issue that it appears to corrupt the NAND if it expands the rootfs_data volume.
I dont think its viable to include the aux-loader2 in the source nor the binary form in OpenWrt
I seem to have a problem with the image linked in the Wiki as well as my self-built image based on 22.03-rc4.
I am using the SFP+, p1 and p2 as separate ports, the br-lan switch has p3-p8 in it. I am running a DHCP client on all of the 3 separate interfaces in my test configuration. The p2 seems to work fine, but there seems to be some interference between the SFP+ and the p1 ports. When both are connected, the p1 does not get any IP address. I have to disconnect the SFP+, then the p1 gets an address, and then re-connect the SFP+ (which gets an address after it was removed when the cable was removed).
So on power on with all cables in, the p1 would not get an address and the SFP+ cable would have to be removed and re-inserted.
Can anybody also observe some interference between the p1 and SFP ports?
Download the patch and add .patch as an extension and then git am patchname.patch did the trick for me. Building now on top of 23.04 rc4. Fingers crossed.
(and tnx @Borromini for the behind the scenes pm assistance)
Now that RB5009UPr_S_IN will soon to be released I was going to pull the trigger on streakwave.com since they have 1000 on order or should I get the Plain UG version over the UPr. Question is there going to much difference in hardware? and do you think someone could port openwrt on it eventually. Reason why I know a smaller school could use the RB5009UPr_S_IN to power 3-4 Ruckus R610 in at mode. Right now it's powered in af mode. Plus they can use a new router.
Hello everyone, I would like to obtain an OpenWrt image (the most recent if possible) for the RB5009 router! Do any of you have an image to show me? actually I do not know how to build an image :(… if you need more information I am available .. I specify that the router already has an OpenWrt version!
@segal_72 I put up a newer image here but this is a one-off. I warmly recommend you familiarise yourself with the buildroot and learn how to build an image yourself. Patches and config have been shared.
this image allows me to install the current package?
yes I would like to learn how to build.. where to start and how?
is there a guide that could allow me to familiarize myself and create my image?
Thanks again for your reply, I really appreciate it!
You can grab the 22.03 RC6 SDK as wel I believe instead of using git, if you'd like. But git allows you more freedom. Image I uploaded is more recent than RC6, FYI.
