ZF7962 BL7 firmware format

dominique_moise — Sat, 09 Dec 2017 17:27:57 GMT

Hi
I would like to play with my old (end-of-life) ZF7962.
How do I make a BL7 flash image ? I saw that there is a specific header before the squashfs image. Is there a script to allow creating such file ?
(and yes I am doing al this at my own risk and will be the only responsible if I damage my device)
Best regards

And why can't you run an existing 7962 AP firmware? We do not support customers "creating" their own firmware images...

Hi Michael.
Thanks for replying so quickly. You guys are available even on saturdays !
Actually I'm not good enough to make my own firmware. I would just like to use openwrt for a variety of reasons. (this is for a home setup)

well I finally bought a secondhand cisco that does what I want and does not drop with my computer.
maybe my old 7962 was faulty after all. too bad, I liked the idea of those multiple antennas.
it will end up in the elephants graveyard 🙂
