Dear community,
I am having trouble flashing R8000P from the image here: https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.0/targets/bcm4908/generic/ .
I connected the board GND/RX/TX to my raspberry pi 5, I properly send and receive in minicom
and I am able to interrupt the CFE boot.
After starting the tftpd
server in CFE and sending the file openwrt-23.05.5-bcm4908-generic-netgear_r8000p-squashfs.bin
, the tftpd
server indicates that it has receive the proper number of bytes, then nothing happens and then it reboots. There is no OpenWRT and the firmware is the stock one.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.
Note: I tried flashing a stock firmware and here tftpd
prints various messages of flashing after receiving the image. I am expecting the same to happen for OpenWRT.
