How to upgrade Meraki to OpenWRT

There are several ways to upgrade Meraki (Fonera), I describe what I used to be.
You need a tftpserver (in this example: 192.168.1.103) where you store openwrt-atheros-* files and serial to fonera [9600,8,N,1].
When your Fonera is booting up, press CTRL-C, and you will get the RedBoot prompt. Just copy-paste this line (it takes about 20min):

ip_address -l 192.168.1.40/24 -h 192.168.1.103
fis init
(here you have to press 'y')
load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma
fis create -e 0x80041000 -r 0x80041000 vmlinux.bin.l7
load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} openwrt-atheros-root.squashfs
fis create -l 0x006F0000 rootfs
reset

First boot is very slow because creating partitions!

  1. A 10.3-as OpenWRT mar nem fog felmenni igy, mert a filerendszer krealasanal hibauzenetet dob:
    RedBoot> fis create -l 0×6f0000 rootfs
    Can’t locate 6f0000(7274496) bytes free in FLASH

    Megoldas: a FREEMEMLO es a FREEMEMHI kulonbozetet adni meg:

    RedBoot> fis free
    0xA8110000 .. 0xA87E0000
    RedBoot> fis create -l 0×6D0000 rootfs

    (0xA87E0000 – 0xA8110000 = 0×6D0000)
