Hi guys,

i've tried to compile the original firmware from Netgear but it compile and doesn't boot with the error:

Warning: unable to open an initial console.


It use for firmware image, the TRX format with the signature
reading the original command that create netgear firmware, i've tried to make a trx image combine kernel and root fs,

we i try to flash the new image with the command "flashimage" i got this error after finished loading:

**Exception 32: EPC=8042785C, Cause=8041DD04 (TLBMod   )
                RA=00435870, VAddr=8041DD04

any suggestion?

many thanks!

i've made some steps

first seems that this CFE doesn't have "CFE1CFE1" signature sad
second i've flashed a firmware w/CFE (but also this haven't sign) of a D-Link 2760U

anyone has a CFE 1.0.37-102.9 with a valid signature?

Hi!

Sorry to bump this up :-P

Any progress on your attempt to get this working?
I am receiving mine tomorrow, just wondering :-P

Thanks.
