I have successfully been able to boot LEDE from initramfs, but I am unsure how to flash it. I was following these instructions on OpenWRT, which got me as far as I am. However, to flash onto the device they use a command wget2nand which doesn't seem to be available for LEDE.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Just download it (link on instruction page) - it's simple script with "mtd erase & mount & wget & tar -zxvf .."
With LEDE in initframfs I was able to scp the file sysuprade.bin file into /tmp and run sysupgrade on the file.
upd.
was able to run sysupgrade /tmp/sysupgrade.bin
the final goal of upgrading RB962 to LEDE is ability to run app compiled for mipsel architecture with external USB cartreader. it is possible?
right now i can not run the file. the error is:
root@LEDE:/tmp# ./oscam
./oscam: line 1: syntax error: unexpected "("
i can run the file on x86 linux with qemu-mipsel in 74Kc emulation mode. but on LEDE it's can not be run.
:-\
i've succecfully installed usb and usb to serial converter drivers.

so the problem is in architecture. Why 24Kc architecture was used instead of 74Kc ?
cpu model : MIPS 74Kc V5.0
i extremely wanna run oscam-mipsel on mikrotik
it is for different endian.
The MIPS CPU is able to run both big-endian and little-endian. So a system built on MIPS can be either big-endian (mips) or little-endian (mipsel).
readelf -h oscam
ELF Header:
Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Class: ELF32
Data: 2's complement, little endian
Version: 1 (current)
OS/ABI: UNIX - System V
ABI Version: 0
Type: EXEC (Executable file)
Machine: MIPS R3000
So, the question is, is there any way to re-build image to mipsel architecture? unfortunally i'm not have skills to build images.
i have performed a steps to compile image from git sources,
i have selected ar71xx and mikrotic but changed manually in .config file a few properties:
CONFIG_TARGET_ARCH_PACKAGES="mipsel_74kc"
CONFIG_DEFAULT_TARGET_OPTIMIZATION="-Os -pipe -mno-branch-likely -mipsel_mips32r2 -mtune=74kc"
CONFIG_mips=y
CONFIG_ARCH="mipsel"
CONFIG_TARGET_OPTIMIZATION="-Os -pipe -mno-branch-likely -mips32r2 -mtune=74kc"
build was successful, so i have a sysupgrade image.
it is safe to perform upgrade? what to do if my router will not come up?
or just show me the way how to build mipsel LEDE image for rb962 please
I have tried to install LEDE and OpenWRT on a Mikrotik RB962 hAP ac.
It has (I think) made an initial boot from tftp on the latest
openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs.elf and on
lede-ar71xx-mikrotik-rb-nor-flash-16M-ac-initramfs-kernel.bin
but it has not answered ping on 192.168.1.1 and I cannot access it with telnet to 192.168.1.1.
Anyone with a bit of help to get in contact with LEDE or OpenWRT on my RB962 ?
HOME / PROJECTS / CONTACT / BLOG
Installing OpenWRT / LEDE on a MikroTik RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT (hAP ac)
Pretty Simple, Following the netbooting guides for mikrotik, you must boot your router off
This ELF, In testing, no others worked
You must ensure that your NIC IP address you have your tftp/dhcp server on is 192.168.1.1 – bootloader bugs cause other IPs to fail on the TFTP Transfer
Once booted, DHCP will start broadcasting on eth2 and above, plugin and ssh to 192.168.1.1 or its IPv6 Address (ipv6 DNS server is good)
Switch the eth0 connection over to internet or push this image to it
Make sure to download into the /tmp directory
once on the system a sysupgrade -n openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-rb-nor-flash-16M-ac-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin will install it onto the flash and auto reboot.
I tried the above posted by JRWR, it will not flash the sysupgrade file. Booting is no problem from openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs.elf and I can SSH into the router on 192.168.1.1 from LAN port's 2-5.
I scp the openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-rb-nor-flash-16M-ac-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin to the /tmp dir and run:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-rb-nor-flash-16M-ac-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
I get the following:
"Commencing upgrade. Closing all shell sessions."
but it does not upgrade or write to flash, the router reboots automatically and then boots the factory RouterOS again.
Just to be sure I didn't have a corrupt sysupgrade file, I downloaded it again - still the same problem. However I haven't tried any of the other sysupgrade files.
An update to this, it turns out the flash is locked and can't be written to. I tried an earlier version of LEDE where sysupgrade gave more info and got this error:
Could not open mtd device: firmware
Can't open device for writing!
It could be that your device has a never revision of SPI NOR flash.
Can you post dmesg output from initramfs?

Like I thought,
m25p80 spi0.0: unrecognized JEDEC id bytes: ef, 70, 18
You need to build a image with my patch that adds support for the W25Q128JV series SPI NOR.
Thanks robimarko
It worked!
[ 3.172831] m25p80 spi0.0: found w25q128jv, expected m25p80

I was able to do sysupgrade without any problem after it detected the flash. I thought it was something flash related as I couldn't even see the partitions with "cat /proc/mtd" previously.
For future reference, I compiled from trunk and dropped the patch into "target/linux/generic/backport-4.9/"
make clean and then make again
Flashed using openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-rb-nor-flash-16M-ac-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
