Firmware version 3.0.0.4.384_21045

[Adrian Knight]

Seems we have an undocumented *FIX*

mtd-write has been replaced by mtd-write2 which now has been *IMPROVED* to only allow trx files to be written.

Although the normal mtd-write app is still available in the rc (toolbox/busybox), so if you do for example:-

ln -s /sbin/rc /tmp/mtd-write

you can get back the *NICE* version

I've only used mtd-write2 to install firmware trx files. I've also used an old mtd-write copied to the router to update CFEs. Are there other reasons to write arbitrary files? Are you saying I can just use the sym link to write the CFE or restore other mtd partitions from backups?

mtd-write is for MIPS, mtd-write2 is for ARM.

Those are just function calls to rc BTW, they're not external programs.

Yes exactly that.
