Testing PirateBox Development build (2019-05-28)

[MaStr]

I just uploaded the working build, which is currently installing on my side as well, to our shared folder:

/TheWrong/PirateBox_Builds/2019-05-28/

Things to review, keep in mind etc.

• Use directly ssh instead of telnet for initial connect ssh root@192.168.1.1
• SFTP is already installed (basic), you might want to try to connect to is using a SFTP file explorer (like winscp). Connection details are the same like for SSH
• The auto_flash is working, but flashing the device is not reflected into flashing LEDs. The installation afterwards should be. The first or second reboots really take time. It seems the OpenWrt system is organizing "something". This is happening before our scripts start.
• The complete content folder should be PHP ready, so please give it a shot.

regards Matthias

edit: I am not sure, if you just create new github issues for discussing the items or we stick to this post. Let's try what works well.

Provided new images for v2 architecture...

As the plain image on your side is broken, you need to recover by hand toward the PirateBox.bin file.

You need to follow these steps.

1. Please make sure, that the .bin file in your install folder on the USB stick is the one of /TheWrong/PirateBox_Builds/2019-05-28/
2. Make sure, the USB stick is connected to router, it is fully booted (no flashing lights anymore)
3. connect via Putty or command line to the router. IP still 192.168.1.1
4. Run the following commands on the router (take care of the line breaks. Each letter is a one-liner.. a. test -e /mnt/usb/install.log && rm -v /mnt/usb/install.log b. test -e /mnt/usb/install/auto_package_done && mv -v /mnt/usb/install/auto_package_done /mnt/usb/install/auto_package c. cp /mnt/usb/install/openwrt-18.06.2-ramips-mt76x8-gl-mt300n-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin /tmp d. sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-18.06.2-ramips-mt76x8-gl-mt300n-v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

After executing the last command, the device starts to flash & reboot automatically. Later it (hopefully) should start install the needed packages.
