[OpenWrt-Devel] GPL Violation to chase + Engenius/Senao firmware non-update

[Michael Holstein]

I was finally frustrated at these Engenus/Saneo units and found the
serial port and got into uBoot and looked at the image .. it's yours
.. but oddly, you don't support it all.

Well gee, that's curious, it seems somebody's breaking the rules, and
it isn't you.

I'd nastygram Engenius and make them post the GPL contrib so you have
the BLOB for the Broacdom IPQ4019 that's in there. This is the
EAP1250/1300 (identical except for where RJ45 port is) .. there are
100 others that use this board (I ran the board ID through the FCC API
if you want all the makes/models).

Here's your goods let me know if you want anything else .. I'm going
to build the image for it and flash but since they broke the rules to
begin with I'm dumping the flash and using the FDT to help modernize.

These are cool because they are dual radio soft APs that are PoE and
AC wave 2. A 3 pack is $160 on Amazon. With OpenWISP you can do most
anything shy of a college campus

ahywho ..here's all the proof you need. They didn't even bother to
change the name.

I'm not a contributor I just do lots of embedded work and this made me
mad. Note that the you've already noticed this on the Engenius 300
(the wiki poings out the factory firmware is openwrt)

Company contact/owner is easiest found via their FCC filings : most
recent one from
company president

Cheers,

PS: It looks like they locked the UART from which I obtained this in
u-boot from allowing interrupt so I'm going to poke about and find out
how to get in there. I know this can be done  but it's first I've seen
it done .. The uBoot is reworked from Saneo, per the version string.

Anyone have a clever tip on that work-around? .. If I can get console
at u-Boot I can skip a couple steps.
