Hi Sven, first of all I would like to thank you and your colleagues for your great work and upstreaming of the support for all OpenMesh devices, opensourcing the ap51-flash utils etc.
But on the other hand I'm wondering how should I upload my custom LEDE image to my recently purchased OM5P-AC device as the U-Boot there is locked down and accepts only signed OS images. I understand, that this is due to the recent wonderful FCC project called "killing inovations in the wireless space". Puting aside the GPL license violation of U-boot and kernel code which OpenMesh ships in the devices, we don't have much options left. The only sane way of fixing this is to dump the private keys out of the U-Boot and patch the ap51-flash so the LEDE users are able to sign their own LEDE or any other custom OS images and use the HW as they wish. Then to please FCC again, you'll probably introduce new HW revision, where you'll use some kind of crypto IC as key storage and we're at the same position as now. Waiting for someone to find a way around it. Instead of improving stuff around us, we'll concetrate on this mouse&cat games. OpenMesh makes great hardware, you guys make it work very well for us small tinkerers which are not able to produce and sell like 10k units/year, so we can't afford our own more open hardware. We even don't mind to pay little bit higher price as the HW is rock solid and looks good on the desk. Just my Monday rant. I understand, that you can't do much about it. It's not personal, just wanted to start some conversation about this topic :-) Thanks anyway for any response, even off-list. -- ynezz Sven Eckelmann <sven.eckelm...@open-mesh.com> [2016-11-11 16:12:36]: > From: Jaylin Yu <jaylin...@open-mesh.com> > > OpenMesh devices have often LEDs which are not yet used by OpenWrt.
