Hello Guys,
I have just performed a luci sysupgrade on my EAP600 from rc2 , and as a result the AP is not booting . The history of this AP is , it was on the latest engenius firmware , then changed over to 21.02-rc1 without issue , after that sysupgrade to rc2 also with no problems .
From rc2 to rc3 , the sysupgrade upload worked ok , then itseemed to hang without any progress , with webpage spinning icon showing . After waiting for about an hour , with no progress , I was sure something had gone wrong .
For what it is worth (probably not much) the led indicators are : power and network leds illuminated , all others off .
Troubleshooting done so far:
- connected serial cable to eap600 , and trough trial and error determined the connection pins and port settings .
- Boot looks like this:

Looking for OpenWrt image... not found!
System halted!
I am new to openwrt , so I do not know what my next step would be . I expect the idea is to attempt to transfer the image over TFTP , but I do not know what the procedure , and commands for that would be on the EAP600 side .
I have been able to interrupt the boot and get to a shell of sorts command prompt ar7240>, but as mentioned do not know what to do here .
Here is my env:
ar7240> printenv

Much appreciate if I could get some advice and instruction how to reflash the AP from this point .
Best Regards
