| - | ===== Experimental firmware ===== | + | * OpenWrt is only runnig in the first partition of dual boot |
| + | * To ensure to be able to go back to the factory image, flash the last OEM firmware via OEM web interface. This will ensure that the OEM firmware is present on both partitions | ||
| + | * Because of dual boot partitions, flashing via OEM interface is not supported | ||
| + | * Start a TFTP server and provide the initramfs image. Default settings: | ||

| + | TFTP server IP: 192.168.1.100 | ||
| + | TFTP file name: 7531.bin | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | * Open the device, connect UART and select " 1. System Load Linux to SDRAM via TFTP." during startup | ||
| + | * Adapt the settings to your environment, | ||
| + | * After initramfs is booted, flash the sysupgrade image | ||
| - | //List experimental firmware download links here.// | + | ===== Restore OEM Firmware ===== |
| - | //None at this time.// | + | After the OpenWrt flash, the OEM firmware is still stored in the second partition thanks to the dual boot system. |
| + | Run the following commands in OpenWrt to switch to the second partition: | ||
| + | <WRAP BOX> | ||
| + | fw_setenv boot_part 2 | ||
| + | fw_setenv bootimage 2 | ||
| + | reboot | ||
| + | </WRAP> | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you want to completely remove OpenWrt from your router, switch to the OEM firmware and then flash OEM firmware from the web interface | ||
| + | as a normal update. This procedure will overwrite the OpenWrt partition. | ||
