connecting UART

/!\ don't connect PoE and UART, you will fry the main board; there is a 43v difference in ground planes.

use 3.3V logic to be safe

For best results (prevent console glitches and boot loops), disconnect UART VIN and connect regular (micro) USB power

Run terminal client in 56k 8N1: minicom -D/dev/ttyUSB0 -b57600 -o And make sure Hardware Flow Control is off: Ctrl+a, o, choose Serial port setup, f

install secure shell daemon

gain root access by #updating firmware and run the following: 

opkg update
opkg install openssh-server
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

make sure PermitRootLogin yes is set for (ch)easy login 

/etc/init.d/sshd restart

updating firmware

  • login to the router (http)
  • go to tab Other (the last tab)
  • scroll to FIRMWARE UPGRADE
    • either choose USB and put the firmware as thingoo-upgrade.bin on the root of a USB stick
    • or choose put the firmware on a (local) webserver and fill in its URL

troubleshooting

ModemManager

Some Linux distro's hijack the serial port for modem usage; when you're experiencing problems, try and disable the ModemManager service: 

systemctl disable ModemManager.service
systemctl stop ModemManager.service

Hardware flow control

If your serial is working intermittently, make sure Hardware flow control is off; for minicom it's: Ctrl+a, o, choose Serial port setup, f

If your terminal glitches or if you have boot loops, make sure you have a proper power supply and don't mix several supplies (i.e. PoE, USB, UART)
