Flash Layout

FIXME Find out flash layout, then add the flash layout table here (copy, paste, modify the example).

Please check out the article Flash layout. It contains examples and explanations that describe how to document the flash layout.

Installation using the TFTP method

→ generic.flashing.tftp

1 - Connect your target board to your network, set ipaddress and the tftp serverip in the Redboot bootloader: 

   Redboot> ip_address -l 192.168.1.1 -h 192.168.1.14

2 - Unlock flash blocks with the length param (-l 0x1000000) differing depending on the flash size of the board (8MB - 0x800000, 16MB - 0x1000000, 32MB - 0x2000000): 

   Redboot> fis unlock -f 0x50000000 -l 0x1000000

3 - Initialize redboot partition table: 

   Redboot> fis init -f

4 - Download kernel: 

   Redboot> load -r -v -b 0x00800000 openwrt-ixp4xx-generic-avila-zImage

5 - create/write linux partition: 

   Redboot> fis create linux

6 - Download rootfs: 

   Redboot> load -r -v -b 0x00800000 openwrt-ixp4xx-generic-squashfs.img

7 - Determine length parameter (-l in next command) for rootfs partition (using hex calculator subtract first number in response from second): 

   Redboot> fis free

8 - create/write rootfs partition 

   Redboot> fis create -l 0xe60000 rootfs

9 - create boot script: 

   Redboot> fconfig

Specify a boot script of: 

   fis load linux
   exec

Add an additional carriage return to end script.

10 - Reboot the board 

   Redboot> reset

Upgrading OpenWrt

→ generic.sysupgrade

Although you can upgrade using sysupgrade the default sysupgrade kernel image does not contain some of the Avila specific hardware modules so re-installing will provide better support.

LuCI Web Upgrade Process

Terminal Upgrade Process

If you don't have a GUI (LuCI) available, you can alternatively upgrade via the command line.

Note: It is important that you put the firmware image into the ramdisk (/tmp) before you start flashing.

sysupgrade

  • Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands:
cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ixp4xx/generic/openwrt-15.05-ixp4xx-generic-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
sysupgrade openwrt-15.05-ixp4xx-generic-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

Debricking

→ generic.debrick

Failsafe mode

→ failsafe_and_factory_reset

Basic configuration

→ Basic configuration After flashing, proceed with this.
Set up your Internet connection, configure wireless, configure USB port, etc.

Specific Configuration

The default install only configures the 1st Ethernet interface. You can configure the 2nd Ethernet interface eth1 as the WAN interface.

Network interfaces

The default network configuration is:

Interface Name Description Default configuration
br-lan (eth0) J10 192.168.1.1/24
wan (eth1) J11 DHCP

Buttons
