OpenWRT does not reset the failed boot counter

Open cilynx opened this issue 9 years ago • 21 comments

Candyhouse routers have a failed boot counter that acts as a safety mechanism. After three failed boots, the bootloader automatically stops trying to boot the failing firmware image and switches to the other partition set -- the "last known good". OpenWRT is not aware of this couter and as such does not reset it on successful boot. Thus, if you reboot OpenWRT three times, you'll find that you're back to the Cisco stock firmware. The Candhouse OpenWRT images should reset the failed boot counter upon successful boot.
