Hi
I replaced my RPi4 tp PC Engines APU 4D4. I bought the device with OpenWRT preinstalled. When trying to connect to I removed Lan BR and after that I am not able to connect. Anyone knows how to fix and get back to Admin page?
Thanks

I'm not sure if x86_64 has a failsafe (depends on whether it's using a squashfs image or not and if it has a reset button to act on that).
Your best bet is to write OpenWrt to an SD card and boot off that SD card, or a USB stick. Otherwise, take out the mSATA SSD (if it has one) and rewrite that.
Use serial console and fix your configuration.
Hi
Yes, It ahs mSata.
If I want to write it again then how do i do it in mSata and which version of openWRT I have to use? Any instructions or tutorials I can find here?
Thanks

Hi
Any reference to serial console cable?
Thanks
Badri M
Is it possible to enter in fail safe mode??
Standard null-modem as I recall, better to check in the board manual.
Hi
Thanks I ordered below cable. Hope it works.
StarTech.com 1-Port USB to Zero Modem RS232 DB9 Serial DCE Adapter Cable with FTD
Once I get the cable how do I get access? You know instructions online I can refer to.
Thanks

Download https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.5/targets/x86/64/openwrt-19.07.5-x86-64-combined-squashfs.img.gz , extract, and write to your boot drive with dd. Also read this: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/openwrt_x86
This is to flash the openwrt image again? I have mSata Ssd and how do I write this image into that?
To install firmware I have to connect my msata in my computer. But it looks like I dont have slot in my motherboard to connect the ssd. Can I use this to flash the firmware?
Yes, these types of adapters should work. No idea about this particular one.
Hi
Just connect our null-modem cable with
Baudrate: 115200
Data bits: 8
Stop bits: 1
Parity: None
and login with root and your password.
Then uci show network.lan
network.lan=interface
network.lan.type='bridge'
network.lan.ifname='eth1 eth2'
network.lan.proto='static'
network.lan.ipaddr='192.168.1.1'
network.lan.netmask='255.255.255.0'
If bridge is missing:
uci add_list network.lan.type='bridge'

Hi
I bought the serial console cable and tried to connect.
I installed required drivers and it shows in device manager as well.
Through putty I tried to connect but I am not able to open console window. Is anything I am missing?
