djsell Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I have followed the build guide on the wiki http://wiki.wifipineapple.com/index.php/Build_guide (wiki is currently down, btw) in order to build my own packages. I'm able to successfully do so and install them on the mk5. The problem comes if I want to bake packages into the firmware and use that instead. Anytime I build the firmware, even with a freshly downloaded tar ball with no modifications, doing sysupgrade -n mk5-sysupgrade.bin results in a solid green light unresponsive bricked pineapple. How can I go about figuring out what is wrong? Has anyone successfully built their own firmware? Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried connecting to the serial port? It's likely you have a console waiting for you... ~L0G1C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsell Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Is it normal for it to lose all network access from upgrading the firmware? Is there a way to avoid that? Is it possible to connect to the console through USB? If not, now I need to find a serial cable... time for a trip to Fry's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0G1C Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 See here: https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/33215-changing-source-code-and-building-new-firmware/ As for via USB... no not really. You need a USB to 2v-3v TTL. ~L0G1C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbi3 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 DO NOT PLUG IN THE 3v PIN! YOU WILL FRY YOUR PINEAPPLE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0G1C Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 DO NOT PLUG IN THE 3v PIN! YOU WILL FRY YOUR PINEAPPLE! Yes.. the 3v/Vcc/Power pin... TX and RX will still need attached to RX and TX respectively. (And Ground...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 The firmware was reluctantly released to satisfy legal obligations under the GNU Public License (GPL) - the absolute minimum has been done. The firmware has not been updated for months (against the GPL that legally enforces via copyright that an offer for the corresponding source should be made available) and neither has the GitHub source code... Still waiting (coming up to a year) for official expansion bus info so don't expect any proper guide to get the pineapple firmware and software into the "as released" state anytime soon.

Darren Kitchen Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 First bit of HDK info has been released at http://wiki.wifipineapple.com/index.php/HDK and the rest of the stuff will be updated as soon as feasible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
