Ubiquiti NanoBeam M5 devices are CPE equipment for customer locations with one Ethernet port and a 5 GHz 300Mbps wireless interface. Specificatons: - Atheros AR9342 - 535 MHz CPU - 64 MB RAM - 8 MB Flash - 1x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet with passive PoE input (24 V) - 6 LEDs of which four are rssi - 1 reset button - UART (4-pin) header on PCB Notes: The device was supported by OpenWrt in ar71xx. Flash instructions (web/ssh/tftp): Loading the image via ssh vias a stock firmware prior "AirOS 5.6". Downgrading stock is possible. * Flashing is possible via AirOS software update page: The "factory" ROM image is recognized as non-native and then installed correctly. AirOS warns to better be familiar with the recovery procedure. * Flashing can be done via ssh, which is becoming difficult due to legacy keyexchange methods. This is an exempary ssh-config: KexAlgorithms +diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 HostKeyAlgorithms ssh-rsa PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes ssh-rsa User ubnt The password is ubnt. Connecting via IPv6 link local worked best for me. 1. scp the factory image to /tmp 2. fwupdate.real -m /tmp/firmware_image_file.bin -d * Alternatively tftp is possible: 1. Configure PC with static IP 192.168.1.2/24. 2. Enter the rescue mode. Power off the device, push the reset button on the device (or the PoE) and keep it pressed. Power on the device, while still pushing the reset button. 3. When all the leds blink at the same time, release the reset button. 4. Upload the firmware image file via TFTP: tftp 192.168.1.20 tftp> bin tftp> trace Packet tracing on. tftp> put firmware_image.bin Signed-off-by: Jan-Niklas Burfeind <git@aiyionpri.me> (cherry picked from commit 4cd3ff8a79738fa503150e52162c7df6d9bd3534)
OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.6+ rsync subversion unzip which
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
maketo build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
