continuing in my adventures to flash *some* mediatek-based system, based on the ramips openwrt build, i bought a d-link dir-810l given that someone seems to have built and flashed it (and, yes, i'm aware that wireless is still the issue, i'll worry about that in stage 2):
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=46825 as a first test, i upgraded that router with the newest official d-link firmware and that worked fine -- just verifying that at least that part works. next obvious test was to try to flash with the openwrt pre-built image openwrt-ramips-mt7620a-dir-810l-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin from here: https://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_breaker/14.07/ramips/mt7620a/ but got: "The uploaded firmware file may not be correct ..." looking at the openwrt wiki page for the dir-810l: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/d-link/dir-810l i get the impression that i can't use the d-link factory firmware to reflash with openwrt, i need to set up the serial console. i can do that but due to the aforementioned DNS issues, i can't display the image of the board's serial TTL pinout. so, what is the proper way to reflash a dir-810l? i believe i have everything i need for this, i just need to know the recipe, given that others pretty clearly have done it. thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
