1. Fonera +
The Fonera+ is very similar to the Fonera, especially to the FON2200. From the outside the main difference is a bigger case and the additional Ethernet port.
Please also check the page about the Fonera in addition to this page, as most information there applies to the Fonera+ too.
2. RedBoot
This was the original RedBoot configuration, when I got my Fonera+:
RedBoot> fconfig -l -n boot_script: true boot_script_data: .. fis load -b 0x80100000 loader .. go 0x80100000 boot_script_timeout: 2 bootp: false bootp_my_gateway_ip: 0.0.0.0 bootp_my_ip: 192.168.1.1 bootp_my_ip_mask: 255.255.255.0 bootp_server_ip: 192.168.1.254 console_baud_rate: 9600 gdb_port: 9000 info_console_force: false net_debug: false
That is: On boot we have a two seconds time frame to loggin via telnet and send a Ctrl-C to abort the boot process and get access to RedBoot. So actually we don't need a serial kable, we only need to configure the IP 192.168.1.254 on our local network interface, that's nice! OTOH two seconds is somewhat short and you may need severald tries to hit the time window, so I change the configuration to give me a 10 second time frame:
RedBoot> fconfig boot_script_timeout 10 boot_script_timeout: Setting to 10 Update RedBoot non-volatile configuration - continue (y/n)? y ... Erase from 0xa87e0000-0xa87f0000: . ... Program from 0x80ff0000-0x81000000 at 0xa87e0000: .
Actually to get my telnet to send a proper ^C to the RedBoot I need to have a .telnetrc file in my home directory, with the following content:
192.168.1.1
mode line
2.1. Original flash layout
