Need some advice for the Meraki MR33

jalh · October 23, 2018, 5:34pm

Oh sorry. Im typing that on a linux machine. (Ubuntu_64). I know ubuntu recognized the devices as being connected and all using this .

jalh · October 24, 2018, 5:44pm

I just run the ubootwrite.py --write=mr33-uboot.bin on the linux terminal and get command not found.

@jalh, I cannot assist you until you do the following:

This DOES NOT allow me to assist you:

I need to SEE the output, as I'm not sure that you're entering commands in the appropriate location.
I also think you may have failed to install Python, prior to running a Python-based command.

leeandy · October 24, 2018, 5:51pm

You need install python on Ubuntu pc.
sudo apt update && sudo apt install python

jalh · October 24, 2018, 7:17pm

I did so and when it the ubootwrite.py by using the code

./ubootwrite.py --write=mr33-uboot.bin

i get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./ubootwrite.py", line 22, in
import serial
ImportError: No module named serial

when i try to run

/ubootwrite.py --write=mr33-uboot.bin

as described on the DOC, I get this in return:

ubootwrite.py: command not found

lleachii · October 24, 2018, 7:30pm

pip install pyserial

jalh · October 24, 2018, 7:39pm

So I installed, rebooted the pc, and run the:

./ubootwrite.py --write=mr33-uboot.bin

got the same line:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./ubootwrite.py", line 22, in
import serial
ImportError: No module named serial

Just to clarify, I'm using this device

lleachii · October 24, 2018, 8:05pm

Can you provide a copy of the output from installing pyserial and any messages?

What happens now when you run ./ubootwrite.py --write=mr33-uboot.bin now???

(Also, thank you for pasting the FULL output of commands, and not just a description.)

jalh · October 24, 2018, 8:34pm

I get this:

lleachii · October 24, 2018, 8:39pm

Do you have your USB serial device at /dev/ttyUSB0???
Please confirm the the path of your serial port

leeandy · October 24, 2018, 9:58pm

Default serial port is /dev/ttyUSB0, maybe your port is difference. List port by command
ls /dev/ttyUS*
Try to define the serial port in python command:
python ubootwrite.py --serial=/dev/ttyUSB0 --write=mr33-uboot.bin

jalh · October 25, 2018, 12:11pm

Good Morning, I do not have a USB serials device at "/dev/ttyUSB0"
I'm not sure how to do so, but I used this command "lsusb" and got this"

I ran your bash and got this back:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ubootwrite.py", line 221, in <module>
    main()
  File "ubootwrite.py", line 204, in main
    ser = serial.Serial(options.serial, 115200, timeout=0.1)
  File "/home/jose/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/serial/serialutil.py", line 240, in __init__
    self.open()
  File "/home/jose/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/serial/serialposix.py", line 268, in open
    raise SerialException(msg.errno, "could not open port {}: {}".format(self._port, msg))
serial.serialutil.SerialException: [Errno 2] could not open port /dev/ttyUSB0: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/ttyUSB0'

EDIT: After making sure the cables were wired correctly, the deviced show up and so did the directory. I went ahead and use the following command:

python ubootwrite.py --serial=/dev/ttyUSB0 --write=mr33-uboot.bin

and I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ubootwrite.py", line 221, in <module>
    main()
  File "ubootwrite.py", line 204, in main
    ser = serial.Serial(options.serial, 115200, timeout=0.1)
  File "/home/jose/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/serial/serialutil.py", line 240, in __init__

serial.serialutil.SerialException: [Errno 13] could not open port /dev/ttyUSB0: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/ttyUSB0'

So I SUDO the same command and I get an:

Did you have success?

jalh · October 25, 2018, 1:47pm

No, it hanged in there.
not sure what else to do ....

leeandy · October 25, 2018, 8:40pm

First, make sure your serial converter working correctly. Example using minicom on ubuntu pc to confirm you can send/received from/to router without issues.

lbrasi · October 26, 2018, 4:21pm

Does anyone know if the latest firmware from Meraki allow Openwrt installation?

lleachii · October 26, 2018, 4:39pm

The Meraki firmware is unrelated to installation of OpenWrt.
