#22289: OpenWRT fails on UBNT devices. UBNT updated u-boot in AirOS 5.6.X --------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: anonymous | Owner: developers Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: base system | Version: Trunk Resolution: | Keywords: ubnt u-boot --------------------------+-------------------------
Comment (by anonymous): The flash layout has not changed contrary to what some think. If you see the dmesg output on stock 5.6.x firmware you can see the mtd layout has not changed. Barrier breaker bricks the ubnt devices running 5.6.x due to a bug in the final image generation process where an incorrect firmware length was specified, this seems fixed in CC and trunk. However no settings can be saved, and I believe it's because the newer uboot is only allowing read only access to the root file system data partition, hence every time openwrt boots it's the same as first boot after a flash or factory reset. If ubnt would give access to the source code of their newer uboot, these issues could possibly be resolved, but ubnt insist on keeping it closed source and hence violating the GPL. -- Ticket URL: <https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/22289#comment:2> OpenWrt <http://openwrt.org> Opensource Wireless Router Technology _______________________________________________ openwrt-tickets mailing list openwrt-tickets@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-tickets
