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.

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.
