Installation

→ Install OpenWrt (generic explanation)

Prerequisites

Flashing

Note that older builds (e.g. 17.01, 18.06 and 21.02) have a different flashing method due to changes made in the image. Please ensure you are following the correct instructions for the build you are installing. Instructions for the previous version can be found in the Repo Readme at https://github.com/riptidewave93/LEDE-MX60/blob/master/README.md#flashing

OpenWrt 22.03.0 and above

1. Download the current meraki_mx60-initramfs-kernel.bin from https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/22.03.0/targets/apm821xx/nand/. Then put the file into your TFTP server root directory and rename it to buck.bin

2. Start your TFTP server on the local computer (at 192.168.1.101) and connect the MX60(W) to the WAN Port.

3. Power on the MX60(W), and interrupt u-boot (accessible on the serial console). At the prompt, enter the following commands to update your boot settings: 

setenv owrt_load1 ubi read \${meraki_loadaddr} kernel
setenv owrt_load2 ubi read \${meraki_loadaddr} recovery
setenv lede_bootkernel bootm \${meraki_loadaddr_kernel} - \${meraki_loadaddr_fdt}
setenv owrt_bootkernel bootm \${meraki_loadaddr}
setenv owrt_bootargs setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,\${baudrate} rootfstype=squashfs mtdoops.mtddev=oops
setenv owrt_boot run meraki_ubi owrt_bootargs\; run owrt_load1 meraki_checkpart lede_bootkernel\; run owrt_load2 owrt_bootkernel
setenv owrt510_boot run meraki_ubi owrt_bootargs\; run owrt_load1 owrt_bootkernel\; run owrt_load2 owrt_bootkernel
setenv bootcmd run owrt510_boot
setenv meraki_loadaddr 1000000
saveenv

Note: You won't be able to use older OpenWrt releases without switching the bootcmd back to owrt_boot (see: ?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=8a042450d8fd4e2916fb0e87d65bbbd7e3a97130) using the following: 

setenv bootcmd run owrt_boot
saveenv

4. Now enter the following commands to TFTP boot the initramfs image hosted on your local computer. 

setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,$baudrate mtdoops.mtddev=oops;
tftpboot $meraki_loadaddr buck.bin;
bootm $fileaddr

5. Once OpenWrt boots and you are at a root prompt, you can Cleanup for maximum space. 

ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N part1
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N part2
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N storage

6. Create a optional recovery UBI partition. This will host an initramfs build so our board can have a failback image in case of a bad flash, or sysupgrade issue. You can also manually boot to recovery by holding the reset button while powering on the device. The recovery ip will always be 192.168.1.1, no matter the changes made in the 'real' system. Note you will first want to upload a copy of the initramfs image to the board (which can be done with SCP/HTTP Server). In the below tutorial note that the new partition is made to be just a bit larger than the initramfs image. You will want to do this as well. 

ls -alh /tmp/openwrt-apm821xx-nand-meraki_mx60-initramfs-kernel.bin
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -s 10MiB -N recovery
# This will create a new ubi volume. Make sure to replace the ubi0_X with the right volume number
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_X /tmp/openwrt-apm821xx-nand-meraki_mx60-initramfs-kernel.bin

7.You will want to upload a copy of the squashfs-sysupgrade.bin image to the board (which can be done with SCP/HTTP Server). Once done, you can now use the sysupgrade option to flash the full image to the device using the sysupgrade file named openwrt-apm821xx-nand-meraki_mx60-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar. Then, once you are running a full OpenWRT version (not snapshot) load up LuCI at 192.168.1.1, andFrom this point on, any future updates/builds can just be flashed through LuCI. 

# Be sure to replace the FILENAME with the correct squashfs-sysupgrade.bin image that you have loaded via SCP/HTTP
sysupgrade /tmp/FILENAME
