I try'ed sysupgrade firmware on adm 5120 but have error from script:

root@OpenWrt:~# sysupgrade -i http://www.server/firmware.trx
Invalid image type. Please use only .trx files
Image check 'platform_check_image' failed.
root@OpenWrt:~#

but whe i build kamikaze from sources i get only two images:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1966080 2009-03-18 12:55 openwrt-adm5120-br-6104kp-squashfs-webui.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1900544 2009-03-18 12:55 openwrt-adm5120-br-6104kp-squashfs-xmodem.bin

how i can make .trx image ?

after sometime searching i found 'HDR0' (trx?) start-signature in both images
strip image:
dd if=openwrt-adm5120-br-6104kp-squashfs-xmodem.bin of=fw.trx bs=8192 skip=1

put fw.trx to www.server and:

root@OpenWrt:/# sysupgrade -n -v http://10.1.1.6/fw.trx
Switching to ramdisk...
mount: mounting mini_fo:/tmp/root on /mnt failed: Function not implemented
Performing system upgrade...
Could not open mtd device: partition1
Can't open device for writing!
Upgrade completed


but nothing changed :-(
GURU Help please...

I dont use sysupgrade.
Here is what I am doing:
1. Place the openwrt-adm5120-br-6104kp-squashfs-xmodem.bin to /tmp
2. mount -o remount,ro /jffs
3. cd /tmp
4. mtd -r -e firmware write openwrt-adm5120-br-6104kp-squashfs-xmodem.bin firmware

I have made a simple script to make the job:

#!/bin/sh
mount -o remount,ro /jffs
cd /tmp
mtd -r -e firmware write openwrt-adm5120-br-6104kp-squashfs-xmodem.bin firmware

This method does not keep the configuration.
Is there any way to keep some files before erasing?

Hello!

#!/bin/sh
mount -o remount,ro /jffs
cd /tmp
mtd -r -e firmware write openwrt-adm5120-br-6104kp-squashfs-xmodem.bin firmware

Does it runs with alix with squashfs

For example, I want to upgrade to this firmware : http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8 … shfs.image


I try it but it says me:

root@cLLeida:/tmp# mtd -r -e firmware write openwrt-x86-squashfs.image firmware
Could not open mtd device: firmware
Can't open device for writing!

Thanks!
