    The instructions provide steps to install OpenWRT on a D-link DWL-2100AP rev A4 access point by connecting via serial and TFTP.

    The steps include connecting serially, accessing the boot prompt, loading RedBoot to RAM, writing RedBoot to flash, and loading the OpenWRT files.

    Loading RedBoot to RAM allows it to run from memory and test/debug before writing to flash permanently.

    Installing OpenWRT on D-link DWL-2100AP rev A4 trough only serial & lan

    ver 1.0

    1) Please check that your access point is rev A4. This technique has been developed for A4, but may
    work for other revisions too, be careful!

    2) Connect serial.
    Find contacts of the serial port

    this serial UART port uses 3.3V TTL, do NOT connect directly to the RS232
    using cp2102 (drivers) like this:

    connect it to the your computer:

    3) run a console program like putty and connect to access point at 9600-8N1. Turn on access point
    and press ESC to break boot process.

    4) Run TftpD server:


    connect LAN interface of the AP to your computer, set computer ip to 192.168.1.175 mask
    255.255.255.0
    run a tftp server like tftpd32

    put OpenWRT and RedBoot files to TftpD server root.


    You need:
    http://narod.ru/disk/15900141000/RB.7z.html (mirror) which contain:
    redboot220.img (RAM version)
    redboot220.bin (ROM version)
    Caution: this RedBoot is for S29AL032D ONLY, check for A4 reviosion! If you have another
    revision please do not write it on flash! Test before flashing.
