Re: HowTo: openWrt on OXNAS boxes - Yesterday

Hey chessplayer, It's your instruction after all. So if you feel that what it should be then keep it. But the whole point about seeing the envs is a bit counterproductive at Step 5. You cannot really change them, and the new envs setup in Step 1 is applicable to u-boot only. OpenWrt does not use them at all. If one looks at the mtdparts env and comparing that with output of cat /pr

Re: HowTo: openWrt on OXNAS boxes - Yesterday

I guess I was not very clear in my post. I suggested that the text in blue should be moved to Step 7. And delete the text in red. We know the envs are not useable yet. And there is no way to adjust mtdparts. So everything about the envs should be discussed in Step 7. What remain in Step 5 is a sanilty check. Quote5.

Now in step 7, you would talk about setting up the envs. And mention that it is not writeable. Quote7.

chessplayer, I'm reading the instruction in the 1st post. As I go, I will make a different post for each suggestion. I think realy we don't want even mention the issue about envs not writable here. As long as the ubi partition appears correctly in OpenWrt layout, the installation will proceed OK. And then when you talk about fw_env.config later, you would elaborate. Quote5. Lo

Because I don't think you would want sysupgrade to format NAND partition at all (it would wipe out current user setting). It only update the existing partition using ubifs.

Hi chessplayer, No need to reinstall u-boot. You've missed a recommended step in the installation. Joerg have mentioned this (now that I reread his post and tried it myself on the NSA310S).
