pineopple Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I purchased an Fon 2100 off ebay for Jasager. I bricked it using fon-flash. I built a serial cable and I can connect to redboot using putty. I have tftp32 running and I can tftp files from another computer on my network, see the server with netstat but the fon wont tftp. I can't ping the tftp server from the fon (no surprise). I've tried setting the fon IP address with the following commands: ip_address -l 192.168.1.254 -h 192.168.1.1 ip_address -l 192.168.1.254/24 -h 192.168.1.1 Also tried this but I'm pretty sure this would just give the fon and tftp server the same ip: ip_address -l 192.168.1.1 -h 192.168.1.254 ip_address -l 192.168.1.1/24 -h 192.168.1.254 I also tried to tftp a couple different ways: load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma -h 192.168.1.1 Any idea what I screwed up?

I used an app like hyperterminal (included with winxp) or TeraTerm. But I think PuTTY has a serial send option. too. But I have not actually used it for that. Once you get to the Redboot prompt, then prepare the router to receive them, using ymodem protocol: RedBoot> load -r -m ymodem -b %{FREEMEMLO} openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma And initiate a ymodem send on your terminal app. Until you initiate the send nothing will transfer. (same for the rootfs file) (full instructions are in the MK3 flashing guide elsewhere on the forum) If you are flashing an original fon2100 with the 16mb of RAM you probably will not be happy, the new firmware is too much for the memory available. Sebkinne said elsewhere he was running a lean version of the fw which worked on the 2100's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I am running a custom build of the firmware but I wouldn't say that it is ready to release yet. I will once I have fixed a few more things in the MK3 firmware. Best, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
