I uploaded the script to github with also the other missing tools (made a pull request on bodhi's, here https://github.com/mibodhi/kirkwood). After he merged it (could I also get write access to that repo too? I'm not a NSA goon, I swear :) ), anyone can read the script and add support for his device.

If the motherboard is different, look for what is written on the chips and google the codes to identify them. the N199 uses the same system chip as the n299, so it will likely need to use a full serial controller chip too. The controller on mine is a ST3243EC, and near it there are the serial pins.by bobafetthotmail - Off-Topic

Quick update: I've added the "announce" LEDE package (a simple zeroconf server), this allows people to ssh into the recovery by hostname: ssh root@lede.local If their firewall allows that to happen (on Windows/OSX should work fine as both are heavy users of similar systems), my OpenSUSE's firewall required me to set internal interfaces first before It let me connect. iby bobafetthotmail - Rescue System

I have bought a goflexnet as they are rather cheeep and are a "pogoplug OS" device so I can test on something that isn't a zyxel. I tested the "X" test above and the script is using stock blparam fine. I have backed up the mtd partitions and I'll try soon kwbooting it, then it will probably become another testing platform for a while before being flashed to LEDE.by bobafetthotmail - uBoot

Good, here is the new script, now it can flash also the recovery. By default it will install everything, but I have added command line options to choose the type of installation -install-uboot -install-rootfs -install-recovery -install-uboot-rootfs -install-uboot-recovery -install-rootfs-recovery before you try it on the pogoplug can you run a test to see if thby bobafetthotmail - uBoot

I've fixed the issue above, and now if crucial envs cannot be read it will stop. I'm having issues with checking that the recovery was flashed correctly.

hm, btw, I'll also have to look at why the checks that abort the installation if the envs can't be read didn't work. Because it was supposed to abort if it could not read crucial envs like mac address and mtdparts.by bobafetthotmail - uBoot

Ah, no hard bricking, very good news. :) From a look at the parts you added/modified it should be OK. I didn't check the correctness of the end-of-line encoding because OSX is a Unix system so it does use the same encoding as Linux by default.

I don't know if n199 is the same as n299, but on n299 I have a free header between front USB ports and the header used by the LED board. There are numbers printed on the board, so you can identify what is the pin 1 and pin 2 and you can keep counting pins from there. The pinout is standard serial port pinout like you see here (I used one of these) https://www.quietpc.com/serial-port-pcby bobafetthotmail - Off-Topic
I had similar issues http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,29780 Your kernel does not even boot. That log is about uboot only. the build system screws up the zimages it places in the /bin/target/bla/bla by adding some hex to them. you need to take the zImage from inside the build system, not from the /bin/target/bla/bla Do a file search in the source folders after compilation for zimageby bobafetthotmail - Off-Topic
Updated the script with feedback. Now there are two error message functions, that print boilerplate text around a specific error line, so I could wire all errors firing around the script to one of them. Now each error that causes a script termination has a big notice with further instructions for user. I still need to add the new errors to the partitioning and extracting rootfs part.
