How do I change the firmware back to Openwrt on the Vocore2 if I have LEDE installed?

upgrade firmware.

And now LEDE is openwrt again.

Yes, that would be simple


However, there is no wifi network that the Vocore puts out with LEDE, and there it has no IP address. I can't send any file to it.

I tried connecting over serial and kermit, but when I try to do the send command, it says that there were too many retries and couldn't send.

I have LEDE on the board right now.

What do I do?

LEDE has the wifi turned off by default - if it was me I would plug it into a wired connection on your network or setup a wifi network using LEDE. You can do this from the command line using uci, search google for the specifics. Once it's on the network you can use the luci interface to upgrade firmware.

Hey, what do you know! There's a really easy hack around this.

What you do is use the USB cable to uart into the device. Then, run the command

Code: Select all
ifconfig br-lan <an ip you want to use that isnt a default 1.1> netmask 255.255.255.0


From there you can ssh into it or use the web interface.


EDIT***
As I proceed to upload the wrong firmware and brick the device. But the method above does work
