friends duo wont go past the boot screen on an early openvix3 image

Hi Everyone is there a way of flashing or repairing the file structure via ftp as the duo in question wont flash from usb?

i cant get past the boot screen to flash from the image manager

i can only get into the box via dcc and even then only ftp not telenet

many thanks

What do you mean by "wont go past the boot screen"?
As you can ftp in, are there any crashlogs in /home/root/logs/ ?

[boomer35]

hi Judge thanks for replying

just looked for the logs and nothing there

it just wont go past the screen with the satellite photo on it so i cannot flash by the image manager route

also cannot get in via the webif

i can get in via dcc over lan but only on the ftp mode not telnet

any ideas

If you have a serial cable, maybe rs232 logs of the boot process could help identify issue?

i do have a serial cable but have no clue in what to do with it other than connect it to computer and box

In Putty, make sure com port matches the one on your PC. Change baud rate/speed to 115200.

Boot up and you should see the log and it could tell you what the problem is.

Why wont it work from usb?

Have you tried and re-tried??

Make sure there are no other USB sticks in, make sure the USB stick is formatted correctly and is bootable. Then follow the instructions.

yes and even tried updating bootloader just reads for a split second then goes on to starting

Hard to tell from those pics, but your install is corrupt with required files missing.
Is the flash completely full?

Easiest solution is going to be reflashing, using a correctly formatted USB stick with image extracted properly on it.

It won't flash via usb I've tried several sticks and different images
