Installation
Flash Layout
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
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
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
- Browse to http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/mini/system/upgrade/ LuCI Upgrade URL
- Upload image file for sysupgrade to LuCI
- Wait for reboot
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
Failsafe mode
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
→ hardware.button on howto use and configure the hardware button(s). Here, we merely name the buttons, so we can use them in the above Howto.
The Gateworks Avila GW2342 has the following buttons:
BUTTON | Event |

Serial
→ port.serial general information about the serial port, serial port cable, etc.
The COM1 serial port connector is an industry standard female 9-pin D-shell connector. The DCE pin assignments permit a direct connection to a standard PC DTE port running terminal emulation software.

JTAG
→ port.jtag general information about the JTAG port, JTAG cable, etc.
The JTAG programming port is available through a 14-pin header in a 2×7 configuration with 0.1-inch pin spacing.
Pin | Signal | Pin | Signal |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 3.3V | 2 | COM1 RXD (3.3V) |
3 | JTAG RST | 4 | Ground |
5 | JTAG TDI | 6 | Ground |
