Spent this weekend trying to get jasager installed on the om1p and up this moment am still running into watchdog issues.
Thanks to leg3nd in the #backtrack-linux forums for all his help
The firmware posted by digininja just doesn't take either manually or using any of the flash utilities.. I have been able to install openwrt by:
Downloading
http://dev.cloudtrax.com/downloads/testing/firmware/open-mesh-flash
http://dev.cloudtrax.com/downloads/testing/firmware/openwrt-atheros-root.squashfs
http://dev.cloudtrax.com/downloads/testing/firmware/openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma
http://opensimpad.org/images/b/b9/RedbootSL_01.tar.bz22
1. Setting eth0 to 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
2. Connecting the two into their own switch
2. open-mesh-flash 1 redbootRom.bin
3. Power on om1p and wait for the flash to complete.
Once completed rinse and repeat with the openwrt firmware
open-mesh-flash 1 openwrt-atheros-root.squashfs openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma
Once it comes back the openwrt firmware loses the 192.168.0.1 address and starts looking for DHCP on the wired interface....
So I kicked off dhcp3 eth0 on the main host
ssh root@172.16.1.x
lucid installed neither is gpio so the script I found for disabling watchdog http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/OM1P_config doesn't work obviously
root@openmesh: opkg update
oot@openmesh: opkg install lucid-core
oot@openmesh: opkg install gpioctl
Set this up as outlined on http://wiki-robin.meshroot.com/Howto/Open-Mesh_OM1P/Disable_Watchdog
created /tmp/sucks.sh
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/gpioctl dirout 3
/usr/bin/gpioctl clear 3
sleep 1
/usr/bin/gpioctl set 3
crontab -l
0,4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40,44,48,52,56 * * * * /tmp/sucks.sh
/etc/init.d/cron restart
still reboots every 5 minutes..
also zero out passwd in /etc/httpd.conf because I couldn't find the default robin password in any documentation
