Right! Nice work! So that tells me that whatever image you've stuffed into the ubiquiti firmware isn't setup right. Did you lzma compress the kernel, then wrap that in mkimage or whatever the u-boot command is, and then pass _that_ output to the ubiquiti firmware builder? -adrian On 20 August 2013 16:56, hiren panchasara <hiren.panchasara@gmail.com>wrote: > On Mon, Aug 19, 2013 at 10:09 AM, hiren panchasara < > hiren.panchasara@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > > > > > On Mon, Aug 19, 2013 at 5:59 AM, Luiz Otavio O Souza <lists.br@gmail.com > >wrote: > > > >> Hi Hiren, > >> > >> I've looked at ubnt firmwares and there are a few identifiers that i can > >> gather: > >> > >> All the 'M' series (rockets, airgrids and many others) uses the same > >> firmware identifier: 'XM'. > >> > >> The b/g 2Ghz radios uses the 'XS2' identifier and the 5Ghz models uses > >> the 'XS5'. > >> > >> The original PicoStation2 HP firmware has the following identifier: > >> > >> $ hexdump -C PicoStation2HP-v4.0.3.build5058.bin > >> 00000000 55 42 4e 54 58 53 32 2e 61 72 32 33 31 36 2e 76 > >> |UBNTXS2.ar2316.v| > >> 00000010 34 2e 30 2e 33 2e 35 30 35 38 2e 31 33 30 33 32 > >> |4.0.3.5058.13032| > >> 00000020 38 2e 31 30 35 34 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 > >> |8.1054..........| > >> 00000030 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 > >> |................| > >> [...] > >> > >> Can you try to build an image using 'XS2' as the board type and > >> 'XS2.ar2316.FreeBSD' as the version string ? > >> > >> If you create a correct image the update process will succeed even if > the > >> compression is wrong (the loader will fail to boot, but that is ok, we > can > >> hopefully fix the image later). > >> > >> The kernel load address and entry point set by mkfwimage for the XS2 > >> board is different from what we expect: > >> > >> .name = "XS2", > >> .kern_start = 0xbfc30000, > >> .kern_memstart = 0x80041000, > >> > > .kern_entry = 0x80041000, > >> .firmware_max_length= 0x00390000, > >> > > > > kern_memstart is not there in the mkfwimage I am using but I thing that > > should be fine. > > > > fwiw, I am using Adrian's > > > > http://freebsd-wifi-build.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ > > > > > > Trying rest of the things with XS2 and still getting the same result: > > > > ar7240> urescue > > Setting default IP 192.168.1.20 > > Starting TFTP server... > > Using eth0 (192.168.1.20), address: 0x81000000 > > Waiting for connection: / > > Receiving file from 192.168.1.254:42436 > > Received 6408760 bytes > > Firmware check failed!
