Hi all, I'm happy to have found this thread! I have both an MX64 and MX65 that I want to re-use. I've read through the years of thread here (whew) and I'm still not quite clear on the process. Is it essentially this?
Connect to serial header
Interrupt boot sequence by serial
Something about the image being on a MBR+FAT flash disk?
Thanks for any pointers to the latest procedure.
Ooh I found this thread, maybe I don't need serial access any more? That would be handy. https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/3996
I have updated u-boot and the install procedure so that larger kernels (>3MiB) can be used, which should help get the PR accepted. However this means that existing users will need to update u-boot. I've detailed the update procedure in the commit message (not the PR message). While I have flashed this successfully on several devices it would be good if someone (preferably with a spare device) could test this procedure and report back any issues found. You will also need to compile your own images - initramfs and sysupgrade.
I tried the reset-button method, but all I get is a solid orange light that never changes. So I've connected to the serial port, and I can talk to U-Boot, but it seems to be failing. Looks like I have a "small" MX65, which I have along with the kernel on a FAT flash drive. Once I'm in u-boot, how can I get it to go the rest of the way? Here's my boot output: https://pastebin.com/cutAscMr
