whiteboy's edit's

if you have a problem with my edits feel free to contact me....a good place to get started is some of wikipedia's articles to see the format I'm conforming too (trying to make it a little bit organized and remove useless stuff)--whiteboy 03:58, 23 Feb 2007 (CET)

Faster way via serial

Sorry my english, I will try to explain a simple and faster way to flash fonera skiping some of this article steps.

Needed:

- Serial cable (you have to build your serial cable using de max232 chip, you can find the squematic on web)
- TFtp Server (TFtpD32 is one for windows)
- ethernet cable
- a fonera without antenna plugged in
- fonera power supply

Steps:

- Build your serial cable
- change the ip of you pc to 192.168.1.166
- connect the ethernet cable to fonera
- Run tftp server
- Download the latest root.fs and vmlinux.bin.l7 from: http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/down.php?path=downloads%2Fbeta+releases%2Ffonera+builds/
- Put files in tftp server directory
- Connect the serial cable to pc and thon't forget to plug in the usb power of the cable if you build your cable with one, you can also get the power suply to the serial cable on fonera vdc pin.
- open telnet and connect to com1 (in my case) whith 9600-8-0-1-0
- plugg fonera power supply
- 5 seconds after previous step plug the cable on fonera, you will see the software starting up
- +/- 3 second after start to see somthing in your screen, you have to send ctrl+c in telnet so the vmlinux don't start
- if everithing is ok you already are in redboot, skiping all steps about ssh connection, if not something was wrong
- if you are in redboot do the next steps:
     - ip_address -l 192.168.1.254/24 -h 192.168.1.166
     - fis init
     - load -r -v -b 0x80041000 root.fs
     - fis create -b 0x80041000 -f 0xA8030000 -l 0x002C0000 -e 0x00000000 rootfs
     - load -r -v -b 0x80041000 vmlinux.bin.l7
     - fis create -r 0x80041000 -e 0x80041000 -l 0x000E0000 vmlinux.bin.l7
     - fis create -f 0xA83D0000 -l 0x00010000 -n nvram
     - reset
- DONE!!! you have your dd-wrt working ;)
