Hi all, posted this on Reddit but didn't get much of a response, hoping someone can help on here.

I bought a RBR50 off eBay, which I knew was not working fully, have managed to get a serial convertor for it and trying to get it working again (I thought someone had tried to convert it and bricked it), I believe it is a RBR50v1 as it has the USB port on the back.

When it turns on, 9 times out of 10 the power LED will stay solid with no light coming on the ring at the top. When it boots like this, the output on the console will hang and it will show the following

I then need to hold the reset button in when its powered on, sometimes when its powered off and hope that it then boots, when it does boot (solid green power light, ring light at top flashing white) I get the following (This was after attempting to push a Netgear FW to it using TFTP)

Does this sound like something which could be fixed by writting a new firmware across, be it Netgear or Voxel? Or is this more of a hardware issue? I have been outputting the puTTy log, so have all previous logs to look at if needed from various FW attempts etc, note that when the push of the firmware happens, it doesn't actually reboot itself, I need to reboot it manually as described above and hope it works.
 
hey jamie,
yeah, that's an easy fix.

get to this part:

Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0

and it starts a 5 or 10 second countdown before it proceeds to the next part (that's why it says "hit any key to stop autoboot: 0"). so hit any key before it reaches 0 and stop the autoboot.
you'll get a bunch of options, but you only need to view/change 2.

Code:
board_model_id_show

that'll say probably RBS50
so change it back to RBR50 like this:

Code:
board_model_id_set RBR50

and then check

Code:
board_data_show

and it'll throw some numbers... 1202 or 1102 or something like that. i've seen some that throw me 120202

change it to 1201, and if it still doesn't work, 1101.

Code:
board_data_set 1201

restart and that should make it boot up.
 
Hi, thanks for the reply. I thought the same, about someone trying to convert it to a RBS, however when checking the board ID and board model, they both looked correct. The only odd thing was the board_data was set as 110101, no matter if I manually set it to 1101? Would this stop it booting at all, as it doesn't always boot into the uBoot menu, it will just have a black screen when connected via serial.
