Firmware

Compatibility

Hardware

  • Fully compatible with CPU hardware version starting with version d. The CPU hardware version correspond to the lowercase letter after “AT” in the CPU board serial number. For example if the CPU board serial number is “ATe0505ae” the version is e.
  • Partially compatible with version b because of a change of CPU board button. On version b, the CPU button is only use for reset. On upper versions the ON/OFF button can have many uses.

Software

  • Compatible with Wirnet™ iBTS products with Kerlink Production fuses or without any fuses flashed.
  • Simple update (keros.ipk) incompatible with 1.x or 2.x firmwares → Use of liveburner packages is MANDATORY

Once updated with version v3.x, it is not possible to downgrade to version v2.x

Download

liveburner_3.1.7_klk-lpbs.ipk (md5sum)

The liveburner will reset the default password on your gateway.

Due to multiple changes in eMMC layout, 3.x.y and 1.x.y firmwares ARE NOT compatible. liveburner_legacy is the ONLY package able to upgrade from 1.x.y to 3.x.y. In order to update from 1.x.y firmware, please contact support@kerlink.fr
