[LEDE-DEV] mikrotik sysupgrade support in 17.01.2
Hello, I see the nand-utils package was added to the initramfs. Is it now possible to do a sysupgrade on the mikrotik routers? Will I have to netboot from releases/17.01.2/targets/ar71xx/mikrotik/lede-17.01.2-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs.elf and then do the sysupgrade from there?

I was able to upgrade my router from 15.01 to 17.01.2. I did the following: 1 booted my router using tftpboot like https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/rb493g after that I did a wget to get lede-17.01.2-ar71xx-mikrotik-nand-large-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin from my other router. Then I ran: sysupgrade lede-17.01.2-ar71xx-mikrotik-nand-large-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin it rebooted to factory defaults. A little reprogramming to get it back to my normal and things are working pretty good. I don't know if I needed to tftpboot from https://downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01.2/targets/ar71xx/mikrotik/lede-17.01.2-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs.elf but I figured better safe than sorry. I hope the next release I can just sysupgrade from luci. ___ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
[LEDE-DEV] ar711xx MikroTik conflicting image recommendation
Hello Everyone, I just purchased a MikroTik RB493G that I would like to try 17.01-rc1 on. I found the page: https://lede-project.org/docs/targets/ar71xx and it says to use the generic ar71xx images However https://lede-project.org/toh/start?dataflt%5BBrand*%7E%5D=mikrotik&dataflt%5BModel*%7E%5D=rb493g refers me to openwrt.org and a page that hasn't been touched since 12.09. I have also read the thread MikroTik RouterBoard ar71xx changes by Felix Fietkau but it lacks detailed directions for me to follow. Which imsage should I use and what is the best way to try it out? Thanks, John ___ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev

[LEDE-DEV] 17.01-rc2 install on wrt1200ac
I just updated from openwrt 15.05.01 to lede 17.01-rc2 on my WRT1200AC. The update went well but you can't keep your settings. Once I unchecked the keep settings option the update worked great. In the few minutes I have been using it the wifi is much better than openwrt. Before my android would take about 5 seconds to connect and occasionally drop and reconnect to the router. Now my phone connects in a second and it seems more reliable. Please keep up the good work. Now if I can lede on my mikrotik and IPv6 working I would be a very a happy person. ___ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
[LEDE-DEV] MikroTik RB493G supported?
I noticed that the MikroTik RB493G has been removed from the list of supported devices. Why was that? What would it take to add it back? I have serial access so I can pull logs. I don't want to risk installing 17.01 after reading the thread: MikroTik RB411AH sysupgrade issues. ___ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
