[ Previously posted on openwrt-users, but now that it failed halfway, I figure that installing via httpd isn't really an option at all. ]
I finally got my Gigaset back, so I can get back at installing OpenWRT on it. I have replaced the secondary bootloader, so I get the HTTP server requesting the firmware image. All seemed to be well. Except that when I submit that firmware, the request never ends. [ See below my sig for the story of what happens in more details. ] So I figure I should try and flash it via tftp, but I have no idea what command to use for that. The webpage (http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/gigaset/sx76x) shows some commands to use to replace the primary bootloader, but that doesn't give me enough hints to know what commands to use. Any idea? Stefan Regarding flashing over the "recovery httpd", after soldering the serial line, I now see that the upload goes *reeeeeaaaalllly* slow, repeating patterns of the form: 214253 / 3145732 215699 / 3145732 .........................................................................................................................217145 / 3145732 218591 / 3145732 220037 / 3145732 ........................................................................................................................221483 / 3145732 Where every dot is a 1s wait (give or take). At this rate, it would take days before the firmware is uploaded, and when I tried that, the process stopped after transferring a bit more than 2MB. Not sure what's going on: there always seem to be 3 packets sent together, followed by a wait. The first few packets get sent without waiting, but once I get to around 200KB, the wait starts appearing. It appears gradually, with an exponential pattern: first 3 blocks followed by a single ".", then 3 blocks followed by "..", then 3 blocks followed "...", then ".......", then ".............", ... until hitting the limit seen above. I tried to run a "ping" at the same time, figuring it might disrupt the wait, but to avail. Any idea what might be going on, or how I can try to fix it? _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
