Would appreciate if the "factory" images could still be created. There are users in our community receiving new ubnt AirMax devices with AirOS v6.1.5+. They are loading 3.18.06.1 base factory images via tftp. A recent reference below. >From the release notes where signatures were added in AirOS, key statement is "except via TFTP", is excluded from signed firmware check: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6.0.7 (XM/XW/TI) Changelog / September 8, 2017 ==== Important: airOS v6.0.7 will allow only signed firmware to be loaded. Signed versions of the following airOS versions are available: v5.6.15, v6.0.3, v6.0.4, v6.0.6 All future airOS versions will be signed in this way and not allow unsigned firmware to be loaded except via TFTP -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A user in our community used tftp to flash an image to this device: Ref: https://github.com/aredn/aredn_ar71xx/issues/233 /var/etc/board.info from BULLET M2 XW AIR OS v6.1.5 board.sysid=0xe2c4 board.cpurevision=0x00001122 board.name=Bullet M2 board.shortname=B2N Joe AE6XE _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
