Flash instruction using initramfs-factory.bin image:
1. Connect and open serial console
2. Power on WG2200HP and interrupt bootloader by ESC key
3. Login to the bootloader CLI with a password "chiron"
4. Start TFTP server by "tftpd" command
5. Upload initramfs-factory.bin via tftp from your computer
example (Windows): tftp -i 192.168.0.1 PUT initramfs-factory.bin
6. Boot initramfs image by "boot" command
7. On the initramfs image, back up the stock bootloader and firmware if
needed
8. Upload (or download) uboot.bin and sysupgrade.bin image to the device
9. Rplace the bootloader with a uboot.bin image
mtd write <uboot.bin image> bootloader
10. Perform sysupgrade with a sysupgrade.bin image
11. Wait ~120 seconds to complete flashing
Notes:
- All LEDs are connected to the Diodes PI4IOE5V9539LE I2C Expander chip.
(compatible with NXP PCA9539)
- The stock bootloader requires an unknown filesystem on firmware area
in the flash. Booting of OpenWrt from that filesystem cannot be
handled, so the bootloader needs to be replaced to mainline U-Boot
before OpenWrt installation.
- The data length of blocks in firmware image will be checked
(4M < threshold < 6M) on the stock WebUI of all versions, and
initramfs-factory.bin image of OpenWrt has the larger block data for
initramfs image. So that image cannot be applied to the stock WebUI
at all.
