I would like to create a nanddump from a device but the device is nand flash based.
The device in question has a stock qsdk based version of openwrt running linux 4.4.
The chipset is an ipq8074a.
I noticed the device has tftp and wget and I'm wondering if there is pre-compiled binary's somewhere of the nanddump tool or some nand aware tooling that I may install that will work from this older Linux version?
I dont have access to Uboot because of security implemented in the device.
I'm guessing source it is in the package mtd-utils in the openwrt repo?
cat /dev/mtdX > /tmp/mtdX.dump ?
It was suggested on the wiki to use "Nand aware" apps because of the ECC and bad block mapping and not DD unlike MKT devices.
If that will work I can do that.
cat or dd are not nand aware.
In failsafe mode I noticed the network is not up and working as I expected and I get ubus faults trying to start or configure it.
uci show network says entry not found.
I'm guessing it is disabled by tplink
I'm a little bit lost really as there is no dev/root to mount either and i cant use passwd i just get read only file system.
there is nothing mounted in /rom or / overlay
