Reboot loop on start

[Etienne BOURDEAU]

Hello !

Sorry to disturb you.
I think I’ve made a big mistake, but I don’t know how to repair it :
In /etc/init.d I have set a bash script to start on boot with the command update-rc.d <my_script.sh> defaults.

But I have made an error, and now my gateway continuously reboots on boot. I can’t send any command, and the factory reset did not stop the script (even by pressing it > 30 sec).

I am desperated, please, help me !
Thank you very much,

Etienne

You will need to re-flash your unit with U-Boot. You will need to connect your system to a PC with both ethernet and USB through the debug port.

Flashing mLinux Firmware

You will need the jffs2 root image, and the uImage.

If you are using mLinux, images can be found here:

Thank you for answering.

I am using an AEP model, but it also includes mLinux (mtcdt-LEU1-210A-EU).
If I flash the gateway to install a mlinux image, will I lose the AEP part ?
And if yes, is it possible to find an AEP image ?

Sorry, maybe it’s obvious, but I’m still new to this.

If you flash mLinux, you will not have AEP. You need to contact customer support if you need AEP images.
