Flash Firmware

This section covers a few methods to flash firmware onto your Kiwi.


Web interface / LuCI

LuCi UI is currently not reachable in the current FW version, keep in mind that OpenWrt upstream version is still not released


Sysupgrade

Connect into Kiwi and download the binary image to RAM under /tmp, use this method IF you already have an OpenWrt FW installed on the device and you just want to update it.
(Alter your username, IP and path to match your binary image location)

scp tester@192.168.1.254:/home/tester/openwrt-qualcommbe-ipq95xx-8devices_kiwi-dvk-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin /tmp
