or use a custom built File:Fartnet.gz to listen as a fake artnet endpoint (source here) to get this:
connecting UART
New firmware has a script that install openssh-server, so UART is no longer required to get things up and running!
/!\ 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
Connect to Minew AP (wifi).
Login with default credentials, if it doesn't work; hold reset pin atleast 30 seconds while booting device.
Update firmware (see below).
Configure Minew to use your network with wifi or ethernet in the Network tab.
Take note of IP address in Status tab.
Disconnect from Minew AP.
Visit http://thingoo/cgi-bin/installssh (you might need to fill in its IP address).
After it is installed you should be able to SSH to the device!
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
The current version at the time of writing is v3.2.2
- 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 (case sensitive) - or choose put the firmware on a (local) webserver and fill in its URL (root:kakhoofd). Case sensitive: chances are, you have to rename the file
thingoo-upgrade.bin
!
- either choose USB and put the firmware as
root password
The password as of yet is unknown (you can flash other firmware with a known/empty password so no real problem).
The shadow hash is $1$Sevciuy0$CRuXyRAOWeathkwz1T00I1
(md5crypt) and is not in the 13GB Rocktastic12a password list, nor is it found by hashcat -O -a 3 -m 500 hash.txt -1 ?l?u?d ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1 --increment
, which means, it either consists of punctuation marks/spaces (?s
), or is 8 bytes long or longer, which the latter would take roughly a week on 8 × RTX3090s to verify.
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)
