Firmware can be uploaded like following: ftp> quote USER adam2 ftp> quote PASS adam2 ftp> binary ftp> debug ftp> passive ftp> quote MEDIA FLSH ftp> put openwrt-sysupgrade.bin mtd1 Note that this procedure might take up to two minutes. You need to powercycle the device afterwards to boot OpenWrt. Recovery Tool AVM provides a recovery tool for Windows: https://download.avm.de/fritzwlan/fritzwlan-repeater-dvb-c/other/recover/ Hardware Here are interesting hardware infos from the boot log: [FLASH:] WINBOND Uniform-Flash 16MB 256 Bytes WriteBuffer [SYSTEM:] QCA955x on 720/600/200MHz CPU0 revision is: 00019750 (MIPS 74Kc) SoC: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9556 ver 1 rev 0 [plat_mem_setup] memsize 0x4000000, memstart 0x00000000 Atheros on-chip NAND FLash Controller Driver, Version 1.0 (c) 2014 AVM GmbH, 2010 Atheros Communications, Ltd.
