Please upgrade your Yún - latest is 1.4.1

Hardware Arduino Yún

Hi everyone

another released of OpenWrt-Yun is available. You can download it from http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software#toc8

1.4.1 is a bugfix release: 1.4 contained a bug that made the webpanel fail in certain situation. Bug was found by Blk19U0102: thank you :wink:

Compared to 1.3 this release contains:

The complete list of changes is available at openwrt-yun/ChangeLog at master · arduino/openwrt-yun · GitHub

2

soeey but the

new scripts extract-built-date and extract-built-date-from-sysupgrade-image

means that all the datas/files/configuration/packets installed via opkg are still in the new image after the upgrade?

3

No, that's another thing. If you wish to preserve your files, you should upgrade via the advanced configuration panel. The webpanel upgrade is still a destructive operation.

PLEASE remind that you can also upgrade the single packages. Type

opkg update
opkg list-upgradable
opkg upgrade NAME_OF_PACKAGE_1
opkg upgrade NAME_OF_PACKAGE_2
...

or

upgrade-all

if you've extended disk space using an sd card.

However, as a general advice, don't forget that some upgraded packages may require modified kernels (the "webpanel show build date in sysupgrade file" is one example).

4

How can you tell if you do have the lates version using CLI?
Thanks

5

File /etc/arduino/openwrt-yun-release contains the build date. It should match or be near the date specified in the ChangeLog

how do I get my version number?

i dont have file /etc/arduino/openwrt-yun-release

ranma1988:

i dont have file /etc/arduino/openwrt-yun-release

As well as the methods you have already used, you can

cat /etc/openwrt_release

You don't have the openwrt-yun-release file because you are running the older, Linino firmware, forked from OpenWRT 'Barrier Breaker,' which the Yun originally shipped with in 2013. A new OpenWRTYun firmware, forked from OpenWRT 'Attitude Adjustment' was released April this year (2014).

cat /etc/openwrt_release 
DISTRIB_ID="OpenWRTYun"
DISTRIB_RELEASE="1"
DISTRIB_REVISION="r40431"
DISTRIB_CODENAME="attitude_adjustment"
DISTRIB_TARGET="ar71xx/generic"
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="OpenWRTYun Attitude Adjustment 1"

uname -a 
Linux yun1 3.3.8 #1 Fri Apr 11 07:16:38 CEST 2014 mips GNU/Linux

The versions reported by uname -a can be a little confusing, I guess because Linino was a different branch.

I am about to install the latest firmware. Hopefully all the version information has been updated consistently.

8

So... What is the procedure to follow if the upgrade kills Wifi? After following the instructions using the web panel (extract bin to sdcard and click Reset on the web interface), I am no longer able to access my Yun through the WIFI. The Yun does not set up the Arduino Yun 90A2DAF00022 Wifi link like it did when I first got it (and is supposed to again according to the instructions) and I am unable to access it at the 192.168.240.1 or the IP address I had assigned to it prior to the "upgrade." Unable to even bring up a connection with Console or Putty. I am able to upload sketches and the Blink sketch works, but the Console sketch in the Guide locks up when I try to send commands to light the LED (and the LED doesn't respond), and the Process sketch remains blank on the console (tried consoles on the COM port, 192.168.240.1, and 192.168.0.14 (my prior mapped IP)). All these sketches worked minutes prior to the upgrade. The only thing I did that may have been different than whatever was tested before this was released is I had set mine up to have a static IP (so I could port forward for external access). Other than that, I pretty much had just walked through all the tutorials (only got this yesterday).

And yes, I did wait until the WLAN LED stopped blinking during the upgrade - not a complete idiot :slight_smile: (but feeling a little stupid for choosing to upgrading a device that was working perfectly fine - anyone else considering this should THINK TWICE!).

What can I do besides return the Yun? I am guessing that the upgrade corrupted the Linux build and the bridge is no longer working. Is there any way to restore the original build?

Update: I also tried connecting via the wired LAN connection but although the WAN led blinked orange, no new devices were registered on the router and I was still unable to access the device.

9

Could my problem be I didn't install 1.4 first and tried to go straight from the stock version (w/o the openwrt-yun-release file) to 1.4.1?

10

I get an unknown does this mean I need to upgrade

OK. poking around I found some tips from others who bricked their LInux. Below is the result I get when I reset the Yun while connected via USB serial. Looks like something is corrupt but I lack the knowledge to interpret and establish next steps.

@TickTock, try with the uboot procedure. Skip the uboot part and start with the kernel http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/YunUBootReflash

@dsych007, yes your yun still has the old image

13

I tried that but it requires the wired ethernet port to work and that is not connecting either (never registers on the router and P2P doesn't work either). Does uboot have access to the sdcard? Can I put the three images there and reflash that way?

14

Let's move the conversation on the other topic then: Is it possible to recover if ethernet doesn't work and no Linux or failsafe? - Arduino Yún - Arduino Forum

15

I am starting to think my Yun is hopelessly lost without breaking out the soldering iron so I am returning here to see if we can figure out what happened and to ensure other people are aware of the risks involved. In my log posted above, you can see that there are quite a few errors in the serial stream. Missing characters, etc. Is it possible that a flakey serial1 connection can corrupt the update process? Make sense? Or completely irrelevant? Remember that the corruption happened without any serial terminal open - I just clicked the "Reset Yun using the found image" (or something like that - I can't remember exactly what it said) button on the web interface.

16

A problematic serial conn doesn't mess with the update process run through the webpanel because they work on different "terminal", so to speak

17

I ordered a second Yun which arrived today. The tftp procedure worked first try on the new device. Just to be sure, I tried the original again after that success and it still fails. Also, the new one doesn't seem to suffer from the missing characters in the monitor serial stream. Not sure if it is related, but thought I'd mention just in case. So to summarize: the upgrade procedure using the web interface corrupted the device beyond recovery (unless there is something else I can try that doesn't require ethernet).

Anyway, I am a lot more relaxed now that it is resolved and I have a device to work with. Going to return the bricked device tomorrow. Hopefully future upgrades will have a checksum and/or some other mechanism to prevent this sort of thing. Maybe keep the old image at an alternative location in the flash so it can be restored with minimal support?

18

I just followed the guide to update my Arduino Yun. Everything went well except that now, after 3 minutes and after the blue LED is no more lit (so apparently everything went well) my arduino is not showing any wifi. I have still the USB cable plugged in, I didn't unplugged it, and on the board, the only led lit is "ON". What I should do now?

EDIT:

After a talk with Federico, he explained to me that my Yun didn't reboot properly because of a sketch that was preloaded before updating that was using the Bridge. This sketch prevented the Linux boot, however the update process was OK. So, as Federico told me to do, I loaded the "yunserialterminal" sketch, rebooted the Yun manually by unplugging and plugging again the USB cable and voilá, the wifi reappeared again and now I have my Yun updated!

I sweated a little bit due to the fact that it was not written anywhere that you must load a "blank" sketch before updating, even this workaround was not written anywhere, but now I am very happy :slight_smile: Thanks Arduino Team!
