(-2) > Alright so I think we've got a little further in the journey and got past this error. I think the "Firmware check failed!" error was coming because we were setting UBNT_VERSION = "XS2.ar2316.FreeBSD" while it was expecting something along the lines of "XS2.ar7240.FreeBSD" ar7240 is the key thing here afaik. In retrospect it seems obvious(?) because when I drop into uboot after powering on the device, the prompt for uboot is: ar7240> That probably was the indication to not use ar2316 in version string. But who knew :-) Now after accepting the image it fails at a different point: Receiving file from 192.168.1.254:56679 Received 6300568 bytes Firmware Version: XS2.ar7240.FreeBSD Setting U-Boot environment variables Un-Protected 1 sectors Erasing Flash.... done Erased 1 sectors Writing to Flash... done Protected 1 sectors Copying partition 'kernel' to flash memory: erasing range 0x9F050000..0x9F19FFFF: ..................... done Erased 21 sectors writing to address 0x9f050000, length 0x00150000 ...
