Recovery process:
Re-flashing or recovery can be done if the EP is in recovery mode.
You would need to setup a TFTP server with the the correct IPv6 address.
This package is needed to recover endpoints:
Additional Notes on LED Status useful when performing the Recovery Process above:
Signal (G.hn) LED behavior SW 2.x and 3.x:
When power is connected to the EPC, the G.hn Signal LED must light up orange (possibly flash once) and then turn off again. If the EPC is connected to an EoC controller, the G.hn Signal LED must then again shortly after start blinking green/orange/red depending on the G.hn signal quality.
Status LED :
Shortly after the power is connected:
- If the Status LED starts blinking slowly (500ms on/off):
Linux is booting. (normal good scenario)
After a while the Status LED must either
- Turn solid on meaning startup has finished and the devices is running and ready.
- Start blinking fast (100ms on/off) meaning it is either SW updating or re-configuring.
If it keeps blinking slowly, the EP could either be running the 'Intermediate SW' (see further down) or the flash could have "minor" corruption, that would need me to recover it. - If the Status LED turns solid on only after a few seconds:
The EPC is in SW 2.x recovery mode. - If the Status LED stays off:
The main CPU is not running, or flash is severely corrupted,
or for SW 3.x the EPC may be in recovery mode.
Intermediate SW:
The intermediate SW is a special version, automatically installed on the endpoints, during the process of upgrading from SW 2.x to 3.x.
Be aware that if the EPC is running the intermediate SW, the Status LED will keep blinking slowly (500ms on/off) as in scenario A), until it starts updating the SW.
