Support for Motorola AP650

Where are you from?
Can I send you one of the AP´s?
So that you coult try it?
You can keep it because i dont need so much of it.

So i tryed to boot from TFTP, but i got the following error:

lcap> bootm 0x80100000
Wrong Image Format for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image!

Is there anyone who can help me?

With another Image i got the following error:

Does anyone have an Idea?

Kernel isn't enough to get it up and running, you'll need an initramfs, if you don't want to write anything to flash.

I can write it to flash, but i dont understand how to do it

progfw or some fw command, I'd guess.

can you describe that a little more precisely?

Not really, never had to do it manually.

help progfw will probably provide some help.
help fw likewise.

Looks not good!!

Still looks like you only transfered a kernel, and no rootfs.

Can you give me a Link to an image that should work?

Looks like this AP ist bricked.

there are no initramfs images avialable, you have to compile one yourself.

if you overwrote uboot, then yes, it would be.

No Problem, i have 26 others to test :slight_smile:
Is there anyone who can compile that Image for me?

Well, just picking any image certainly won't work.

openwrt-15.05-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr1043nd-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin is obviouly wrong here ...

Based on the history of comments so far I'd recommend to sell the remaining 26 devices again; I'm sorry, but the comments so far don't look like you will be able to move forward substantially with this subject (at least in the short term).

I set up a Debian System for Compiling the image. But wenn i du make menuconfig there ist no Atheros AR7161 to select, only Atheros AR231x/AR5312 or Atheros ATH79, is there a way to integrade AR7161?
And which Target Profile can I try?

AR7161 is a ath79 chipset.

If there is no one who can help me i think i must give up :frowning:

hello, I have the same AP650, but I can't in diagnostics mode because I don't have a password, I've tried all possible ways to enter, can you tell me what password you used?

Any special reason? most commands seems to be available without it
