# Flash Tool for Aruba AP-105
|
||||
|
||||
Tool to exchange Aruba AP-105 boot loader with uboot for flashing OpenWRT.
|
||||
Tool to exchange Aruba AP-105 boot loader stored on a MX25L12835 flash chip with uboot for flashing OpenWRT with an RaspberryPi.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prepare
|
||||
|
||||
Requirements:
|
||||
|
||||
- RaspberryPi
|
||||
- Programming clip SOIC16/SOP16 and cabling
|
||||
- [Raspbian](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/)
|
||||
- [enabled SPI interface](https://codingworld.io/spi-aktivieren-am-raspberry-pi/)
|
||||
- [`flashrom`](https://www.flashrom.org/Flashrom) tool
|
||||
|
||||
Configure SPI on the RaspberryPi:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo raspi-config
|
||||
# Select Interfacing Options
|
||||
# Select SPI
|
||||
# Select Yes
|
||||
# Select Ok
|
||||
# Leave with finish or ESC
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To install `flashrom`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo apt-get install flashrom
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Connect the AP105 Flash chip. The red status LED on AP105 must glow
|
||||
|
||||
```

|
@ -17,7 +92,28 @@ The `AP105-<SERIAL_NUMBER>-dump0.rom` will be patched with uboot binary `uboot.b
|
|||
|
||||
After a confirmation the patched file will be flashed to the device.
|
||||
|
||||
## Known problems
|
||||
|
||||
### Chip isn't detected by flashrom
|
||||
|
||||
- Check the wiring
|
||||
- Ensure the RaspberryPi have enough power like a power supply with 5V/2A
|
||||
- Ensure the red LED is illuminated on the AP105
|
||||
- Reduce the SPI speed to 1000 kHz (default 16500 kHz)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
SPEED=1000 ap105-flash <SERIAL NUMBER>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### flashrom fails during erase
|
||||
|
||||
- Check power supply
|
||||
- Reduce the SPI speed like described above
