Hm,that does not sound right.
I hope you did not connect VCC
I used built-in header poles leaving right most (vcc). I took cue from here https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/engenius/engenius_ecb1750_1
Should be correct.
From what I saw,all Engenius devices use the same pinout.
Ok. Looks like prolific driver issue. I'll downgrade the driver version and see if it works without crashing as found in some forums
Classic fake FT232
Finally downgraded the the prolific driver version and used Teraterm instead. I can see full device bootup log and send openwrt commnads. Please guide me to next step
First,post the bootlog at gists or somewhere else.
Then we can look into creating mach file and everything else
Ok,only worrying this I see is only 32MB of RAM.
Any chance you can share a ssh session to the device with me to take a look at GPIO configuration?
Is MAC adress in bootlog correct so I can find its location in flash?
I can then start making files needed.
Only serial console access is available as of now. I can share my pc using Anydesk or Teamviewer
Sure,Teamviewer works for me
Please check message box
I am back with easywrt BB version. Please have a look
Please help me with commands to load the image in ram and which file? Forgive me for being novice
That is really hard without seeing the console

root@OpenWrt:/#Awesome, so we gotta find the reset button and LED GPIO-s.
Can you do that with wiki link I gave you?
After that, I can build a version with that.
Reset button is kinda important since you gotta manually factory reset after flashing OpenWRT as stock firmware preserves their settings and they are not compatible.
Also,still gotta test flashing from stock firmware to see if it will be accepted.
I have checked the magic in kernel and rootfs and they match the ones in script doing upgrade.
Also,you gotta check if MAC matches the one on the sticker
Not able to figure out the button and LED GPIO-s. Tried with factory image and easywrt.
Next I'll be trying to flash image using stock firmware. Yes MAC matches the one one on the sticker
Flash from stock firmware GUI did'nt work.
