Reinstall OpenWrt on WL-520gU
Posted: Mon Dec 13, 2010 2:33 am
Hi guys.
I successfully installed OpenWrt on my router as per instructions on the blog. I installed different packages using opkg and decided to reinstall OpenWrt.
However I'm having trouble transferring the .trx file on to the router. I'm using a macbook pro with airport disabled since my home network is also in the 192.168.1.x range. I'm also using the USB-serial FTDI cable withZTerm. The lan cable is connected to the LAN1 and macbook pro. I get following output on the Terminal:
From the output of the ZTerm my macbook can talk to the router; I get the following output on ZTerm when sending the file:
I'm little confused by the output on Terminal "sent WRQ <file=openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx, mode=octet>". I thought transfer mode will be binary rather than octet. Can someone help. Thanks.
