  • I thought it was about time to update my bootloader and after following the instructions to the letter , I don't think it has worked. First of all, the whole process was over in seconds , almost immediately my duo was telling me to remove usb and reboot.


    Suspicious at this point I telnet the following : cat /proc/mtd


    and get :


    dev: size erasesize name
    mtd0: 07600000 00020000 "rootfs"
    mtd1: 00400000 00020000 "kernel"
    mtd2: 00200000 00020000 "boot"
    mtd3: 00100000 00020000 "cfe"
    mtd4: 00080000 00020000 "mac"
    mtd5: 00080000 00020000 "env"
    mtd6: 00100000 00020000 "nvm"


    My understanding (and please feel free to correct me if I am wrong) is that the boot (mtd2) should increase to 4M. Have I got this wrong?


    I would be grateful for any insight as to what is going wrong. Thanx in advance.


    I perhaps should add that I already have BH 2.06 installed and it remained installed after the above process. Despite this I re-flashed and still got the same results.

  • The bootloader does indeed take seconds to flash and as master G states you could not have used the newer BH images without this bootloader being on there in the first place.


    one more thing, the only way to know for certain what bootloader is on the box is to create a rs232 serial bootlog.

  • Cheers guys you have put my mind at rest. All must be ok I guess. Wouldn't know how to do a rs232 serial bootlog anyhow pheonix. :confuse:


    Thanks very much for your patience and knowledge you freely give to the numpties like myself.


  • I also want to know this...

    Mine is also only 2m after doing the update. And I'm on 2.0.7 now, so the bootloader went though for sure. Can anyone clarify this?
