apologies for being repetitive but i'm still trying to figure out how to reflash my d-link dir-810L with an openwrt image, and i'm willing to buy someone a virtual beer or 12 if they can give me the solution. (i'm well aware that the wireless will almost certainly not be functional -- that's ok, i just want to boot to openwrt, and i'll worry about the wireless from there.)
as an initial test, i downloaded the latest *official* firmware image from d-link, and that reflashed just fine, so i know reflashing is possible. at that point, i grabbed the "dir-810l" image from here: http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_breaker/14.07/ramips/mt7620a/ and tried the same thing, and i got an error dialog starting with: "The uploaded firmware file may not be correct ..." i suspect more than a few people have seen that dialog -- in the end, no reflashing was done, so i'm assuming there's something in that openwrt image that the d-link firmware doesn't like. reading the openwrt dir-810L page here: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/d-link/dir-810l it would appear that my other option is to slap together a USB-TTL cable, and upgrade using TFTP, is that the correct solution? has anyone done this and can verify that the upgrade both *can't* be done through the GUI, but *can* be done over the serial port via TFTP? i'd really like to get an openwrt image onto this board ASAP. thanks. rday _______________________________________________ openwrt-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-users
