[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH] brcm47xx: image: build alternative TRX using less optimized LZMA

[Stephen Parry]

No sorry - I did not explain carefully enough:
1. About 9 months ago I built a trx using trunk that flashed and worked OK.
2. Two weeks ago I built a new image. This loaded and tested fine as ELF via tftp boot so I flashed the trx using MTD command. the resulting image hung after "starting program at 8001000" just as you described.
3. I incorrectly thought the problem was that I had flashed incorrectly so tried CFE flash command instead.
4. I got parameters of flash command wrong and overwrote CFE.
5. I saw your patch and kicked myself for not having seen it sooner.

I was supporting (seconding) your patch by trying to explain that had I seen it 15 minutes earlier it would have saved me from a dead router.
