Mikrotik RB951Ui-2HnD

Hi,
I'm trying to install Openwrt on a Mikrotik RB951Ui-2HnD.
I downloaded the file openwrt-18.06.5-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs.elf
I'm setting up tftpd64 so that the dhcp server would offer as boot file: openwrt-18.06.5-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs.elf
I tried adding it also as option 67.

Firewall on the PC is disabled.

I use the first port on the Mikrotik. Shut it down, hold the reset pin and connect power.
I wait until ACT led stops blinking and then release the pin.
Unfortunately I'm unable to boot into Openwrt.

Am I doing something wrong?

@morph, welcome to the community!

  • Where did you get these instructions?
  • What does the serial output say?

Hi,
The file is mentioned here: https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/rb951ui
Instructions are here: https://oldwiki.archive.openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/common

Not sure what serial output is.

Best regards.
