Introduction

The new shipped MS14 is equipped with the Web FailSafe UBoot from https://github.com/pepe2k/u-boot_mod/. This U-boot provide Web Interface and Netconsole feature, it eliminates the need of UART while user have to upgrade firmware in U-Boot.


To check if MS14 is loaded with the Web Failsafe U-Boot, user can press the toggle button and power on the device. The left four LEDs will blink together every second if the MS14 has the Web Failsafe U-boot.


There is a counter in the Web Failsafe U-Boot, the counter will start from 0 and it increase one on every blinking of the four LEDs. The system will be in four different working modes depends on the status of the counter:

  • Less than 3 sec: System will boot into OpenWrt Linux
  • 3 ~ 5 sec: Web FailSafe U-Boot
  • 5 ~ 7 sec: u-boot UART Console
  • greater than 7 sec: u-boot netconsole
