downloading right now...

I can't find any data about e8350 in the source...

@zzz by comparing board data in the source code, i really can't see any new entry... can someone help ?

Anyway the changes in the source are related to ap148... @zzz can you make sure you have a way to restore it? also can you provide a bootlog ?

yes i can restore it，and this is the bootlog that you want?!

I also have got a thirdparty firmware Pandorabox for e8350 based on openwrt from someone installed in my router,and the version is very old and now the the website is broken and can not update to the version 19.07,you can tell me your email address? and i will send the bin file with the bootlog to you that might help?

13

the bootlog is on pastebin.com

14

it would be good to have the source from that firmware was compiled from...

15

the bootlog name nikimouse

16

hello i still need the bootlog pasted to pastebin... also i need output of

cat /proc/mtd

Anyway here... this is a initramfs image, so you must load it from uboot directly... you must not flash it

17

WELL that is very nice , thank you so much ,and i am trying....pasted to pastebin :name:zzzz the bootlog and the output
