Re: [LEDE-DEV] Ubnt Bullet M2 flashing ?
We've found that some of the newer AirMax hardware releasing with XW revs, do not have a downgrade process. For example the NanoStation M2 XW. The AirOX 5.5.x firmware did not offer support and the nanostation-m-xw image has no path to load. Downgrading the AirMax devices to AirOS 5.5.x is a lot of extra steps. Just in case this is not already known, It is possible to directly load, in one step, an image using 'tftp'. The AirOS UI requires signed firmware in newer versions, but tftp does not.A patch like the following is required for uboot to accept the firmware and load via tftp. Newer versions of ubnt's uboot have a restriction on naming convention (seems to reject firmware if alpha chars in some places). This works for all AirOS versions (the respective uboot version), available today, on AirMax hardware.Example, "v6.0.6.31296.170704.204" is from an AirOS image applied in chaos calmer. --- a/target/linux/ar71xx/image/Makefile +++ b/target/linux/ar71xx/image/Makefile @@ -1406,7 +1406,7 @@ define Image/Build/UBNT2 dd if=$(call sysupname,$(1),$(2)) of=$(KDIR_TMP)/$(2)-mtdpart-kernel.bin bs=1024k count=1; \ dd if=$(call sysupname,$(1),$(2)) of=$(KDIR_TMP)/$(2)-mtdpart-rootfs.bin bs=1024k skip=1; \ $(STAGING_DIR_HOST)/bin/mkfwimage \ - -B $(4) -v $(5).$(6).v6.0.0-OpenWrt-$(REVISION) \ + -B $(4) -v $(5).$(6).v6.0.6.31296.170704.204 \ -k $(KDIR_TMP)/$(2)-mtdpart-kernel.bin \ -r $(KDIR_TMP)/$(2)-mtdpart-rootfs.bin \ -o $(call factoryname,$(1),$(2)); \ Joe AE6XE > Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2018 12:24:15 -0700 > From: Etienne Champetier > To: LEDE Development List > Cc: Bill Moffitt , Joseph Marlin > > Subject: Re: [LEDE-DEV] Ubnt Bullet M2 flashing ? > Message-ID: > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" > Hi All, > 2018-04-19 6:19 GMT-07:00 Joseph Marlin : >> We still flash Ubiquiti Airrouters regularly, and we still have to downgrade to 5.5.10 as a >> first step.

I received last week my new Bullet M, and I confirm it is still possible to downgrade to 5.5.10 It was shipped with 5.6.11, but I wanted to confirm that I can downgrade from latest AirOS version, so what I did: 1) Upgrade to 6.1.6 XM.v6.1.6.32290.180307.1650.bin (md5sum 96a876222ede2cac4b2e895c14160c31) This version only accept signed image via the WebUI 2) Downgrade to 6.0.6-beta XM.v6.0.6-beta.30875.170526.0038.bin (md5sum 6baf82898fd70e9d394fb3b5a17d6fc3) This version is signed but accept non signed image via the WebUI 3) Downgrade to 5.6.15 XM.v5.6.15.30572.170328.1107.bin (md5sum dbe0fe1c5404c19f0adf328ca8d01a7a) 6.0.6-beta refuses to go back to 5.5.10 directly, so I went to 5.6.15 (unsigned version) 4) Downgrade to 5.5.10 XM.v5.5.10.24241.141001.1649.bin (md5sum 288b6dd2cbf35a85582f942ae5489873) 5) Upgrade to LEDE 17.01 \o/ using the WebUI and the factory image Adrian Schmutzler sent me another downgrade path that they use with OpenWRT-based Freifunk Franken Firmware XM.v6.0.6-beta.30875.170526.0038.bin XM.v6.0.4.30805.170505.1525.bin XM.v5.5.11.28002.150723.1344.bin Also I want to point to another email thread "ar71xx: Ubiquiti Airmax M: add relocate-kernel to invalidate cache" http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/lede-dev/2018-April/011980.html According to this thread OpenWRT master should be compatible with all AirOS 5.X Cheers Etienne > > - Original Message - > From: "Bill Moffitt" > To: lede-dev@lists.infradead.org > Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2018 5:20:10 PM > Subject: Re: [LEDE-DEV] Ubnt Bullet M2 flashing ? > > I have not been able to figure out a way to do it. > > > On 04/18/2018 02:14 PM, Etienne Champetier wrote: >> Hi All, >> >> Is it still possible to flash latest ubnt bullet m2 with OpenWRT?

It seems to be possible to flash an older bootloader with an external programmer. It is possible to obtain the older bootloader from another device. It should be possible (but isn't due to apparently GPL violation, at least, the last time I checked) to obtain the 5.5.x u-boot source from Ubiquiti. -- Russell Senior russ...@personaltelco.net ___ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev

We still flash Ubiquiti Airrouters regularly, and we still have to downgrade to 5.5.10 as a first step.
