As always, corrections welcome. I'm not part of the development team.
There is some practical discussion of installs of v1.0.0 beta on the Beta 1.0 firmware forum.
In theory, there's no advantage to going back to factory firmware. Just install the .trx file if you have a router with a 0.4.x version of hsmm. The only difference between .trx and .bin is a few bytes of header info that convinces the factory firmware the firmware is legitimate and lets it load. After install of either one, the state of the router should be the same.
Ubiquiti "support":
You will have to figure out how to load OpenWRT on the Ubiquiti and configure it yourself. This is not an easy task. Once you do that, appropriate Ubiquiti or other types of hardware should be able to join a mesh network. The important change is that BBHN no longer uses the olsrd secure plugin, so it will connect to any properly configured wifi device.
When I say "it's not an easy task," I am making an understatement. The is no precompiled, preconfigured image to load. The hsmm-bbhn aware web interface will not be there on your Ubiquiti node. You'll have to figure out the OLSR setup. You'll have to manually do a lot of the stuff such as IP addresses that the hsmm mesh/BBHN system does automatically on the WRT54G routers. Plus several other cryptic and non-obvious details the BBHN package does for you. BTW, I have not configured a Ubiquiti device to BBHN, and would probably have to work at it for a LONG time with lots of help to do so.
[KM2O 2013-08-05- 01:51:50]: I am a bit confused as to the best way to upgrade to 1.0.0. Would it be easier to reset the router to factory default and use the model specific flash file or use the upgrade file which has a different file extension? I would be doing it from Windows. Also does 1.0.0 now support Ubiquity or is that still to come? In any event thanks for all the hard work! Dave KM2O |
