Since PirateBox 1.1 an additional tool is integrated: it takes care of a proper re-installation or upgrading, including flashing the device.
The usage is pretty simply, just follow these steps:
install
folderinstall
folder to your USB stick (take care the folders are not duplicate)auto_flash
” on the top level of the USB stickauto_flash
folder
That will reflash the device automatically with the new image file. Then will do several reboots to install the needed packages.
The overall process may take up to 45 minutes. After that, you can follow the PirateBox 1.1 OpenWrt - Post installation Guide.
