Comment (by bmoffitt):
Hmmm... I have been messing with the PicoStations for the last few weeks,
trying to find a "foolproof" way to RELIABLY flash OpenWRT Barrier Breaker
onto them (without opening them and attaching a serial cable). What I came
up with was the following:
1.) Recovery (tftp) flash AirOS 5.6.3 onto the radio; then
2.) Using the fwupdate command in AirOS, flash AirOS 5.5.11 onto the
radio; then
3.) Again using the fwupdate command, flash OpenWRT onto the radio.
This sequence seems to work on every PicoStation and NanoStation Loco M2
XM I have gotten SO FAR. Oddly, downgrading a radio that came with AirOS
5.6 running on it to AirOS 5.5 DID NOT WORK - it appears that it is
necessary to do the recovery (tftp) flash of AirOS 5.6 before you
downgrade to 5.5. I honestly cannot explain it, but, so far, this sequence
seems the only way to reliably flash OpenWRT onto a PicoStation, Bullet,
or NanoStation Loco M2 that comes running AirOS 5.6.
I report this in the hope that someone smarter than I will spot something
that makes some sense.
