How to Enable Redboot on La Fonera

How to Enable Redboot

This guide will show you how to enable Redboot once you have gained SSH access.

For SSH access, I recommending using PuTTY (free).

1.

Connect to the Fonera wirelessly, then use an SSH client to connect to 192.168.10.1. If everything was successful, you will be prompted with a login screen. The default username is "root" and the password is "admin". Once connected, you will see:

2.

Issue the following commands:

* cd /tmp
* wget http://fonera.info/camicia/openwrt-ar531x- 2.4-vmlinux-CAMICIA.lzma
* mtd -e vmlinux.bin.l7 write openwrt-ar531x-2.4-vmlinux-CAMICIA.lzma vmlinux.bin.l7
* reboot

3.

Once the Fonera is finished rebooting, connect back to it. Start another SSH session and issue the following commands:

* cd /tmp
* wget http://fonera.info/camicia/out.hex
* mtd -e "RedBoot config" write out.hex "RedBoot config"
* reboot

Screenshot

IMPORTANT: Your Fonera will no longer boot past Redboot after this point. You will not be able to connet wirelessly from this point. You will need to use a wired connection from this point on.

Redboot is now enabled. You will only be able to access Redboot until you flash the firmware.
