Mikrotik sxt lite2 and lite5 are supported by openwrt/lede, can someone help or point me in the right direction to add support for sxt G-2HnD?
sxt lite 2 https://routerboard.com/RBSXT2NDR2
sxt G-2Hnd https://routerboard.com/RBSXTG-2HnD
I tried boting lede initramfs image and that dosen't work.
I tried to re flash RBSXTG-2HnD with this:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.1/targets/ar71xx/mikrotik/
Similarly, did not get the result. Can anyone have an idea?
Which file did you use? How are you flashing?
There is a newer SXT Lite 2 with NOR flash instead of NAND. It doesn't seem to be supported by OpenWRT yet. We could add support for both devices at the same time as they look very similar.
Can you successfully net boot OpenWRT using http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.1/targets/ar71xx/mikrotik/openwrt-18.06.1-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs.elf ?
If so, please provide a boot log.
Hello, I have a SXT Lite 5 AC with SPI NOR Flash memory, it only has one ethernet port, that is, it does not have a WAN port. I have tried to boot countless times using the .elf image but I can never ping the 192.168.1.1 address, let alone access the web interface.
Can someone help by adding support?
@KlenKlenov is talking about sxtG version, there are again two, one with 128 mb nand and new one with 16mb spi. They are not the same as sxt lite devices, the diference being in GB lan and lv4 licence on ros. They are unsupported and not working with openwrt.
Sxt lite old version with nand is fully supported, new version with spi flash works with forced upgrade. Here is a boot log...

sxt lite 5 Ac is another diferent device, probably similar to lite 5 with diverent radio and board id. without board id nothing can be done to try and support it. The easyest way i know io get the board id is to get it from a supout file. If someone can send me supout taken on original firmware from this sxt i will get board id out of it.
Thanks, good to know. I will do the forced upgrade on SXT Lite 2 NOR. I will also try to update the wiki with up to date installation instructions. And submit a patch so that we can install without having to force the upgrade.
What is the board id in Mikrotik? I have supout.rif file of my SXT Lite 5 AC, but i not see board id.
Best regards, David.
You need to unpack supout file using: https://github.com/0ki/mikrotik-tools/blob/master/decode_supout.py than search for cmdline in 03_.proc file.
Hi, i upload my 03_.proc file, but anyway, look this:
"system type : unknown routerboard"
and
"board=sxt-ac board=sxt-ac ver=6.44beta20"
not board id in any place.
Here mi 03_.proc file:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KDHt9OanNmbPELZS0d1EAM5VQ4U_x43a
Thanks.
board=xxxx is where you find your board id.
'sxt-ac' is your board id...
i will try building something for you to test in the next days...
Thanks for you faster reply. Without OpenWrt I feel that this device does not give the best of itself. Also, I'm used to using OpenWrt throughout my network infrastructure.
Any advance in the support for Mikrotik RouterBOARD SXT Lite 5 AC?
@zorxd
Hi.Thanks for your reply. I tried the following files:
1.http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.1/targets/ar71xx/mikrotik/nand-64m-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
2.http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.1/targets/ar71xx/mikrotik/vmlinux-initramfs.elf
3.http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.1/targets/ar71xx/mikrotik/rb-nor-flash-16M-initramfs-kernel.bin
4.http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.1/targets/ar71xx/mikrotik/openwrt-18.06.1-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs.elf
after that the device became unavailable until the reboot.
I was flashing with tftpd64 (portable edition). Visually watched the files being copied to the device.
Pre-configured via telnet.
telnet 192.168.88.1
system routerboard settings set boot-device=try-ethernet-once-then-nand
system routerboard settings set boot-protocol=dhcp
I can not provide the boot log because of this microtik model blocked contacts and through the UART interface is not possible to connect before rebooting.
Maybe there is another way to get a bootlog?
I also compiled and tried the firmware from the main repository:
TargetSystem (Atheros AR7xxx/AR9xxx)
Subtarget (Microtik devices with NAND/NOR flash)
TargetProfile (Microtik RouterBoard 64MB NAND)
the result is the same
Hi.Thanks for your reply. The RBSXTG-2HND (r2) device has 64 MB and NAND flash. I looked in the winbox.
According to this page: https://mikrotik.com/product/RBSXTG-2HnDr2-168
the RBSXTG-2HnDr2 has 16 MB NOR (not NAND) flash.
Winbox will display NAND in the boot settings even if the device has NOR flash.
According to the wiki you also need to check "Force Backup Booter"
You need to compile from source with your board id added in MIPS-ath79-add-routerboard-detection.patch then you can get uart working with openwrt. If i get some free time i will compile initramfs file for you wit that change.
if it's only for testing you might as well comment out the if in the patch and enable the console no matter the board ID
I have only seen two versions of sxt-g:
Older version with board id "board=SXTG" and 128MB NAND flash.
New version with v2 written on the serial number sticker, board id "board=sxtg5p" with 16MB NOR flash.
Are you sure about your having 64MB?
Thank you for the clarification. Now I will try to flash NOR * .bin. And how did you know that this is the memory of the NOR, the specification does not contain the words 'NOR' and 'NAND'?
Thank you.
