Actually I am the one up on Trossen. Still playing around trying to figure out the best way to do it.
Since that post I found I needed to go up to build 11…
That is the command converted to:
opkg --force-overwrite install kernel-image-3.8.11
I found this by using a 3.3v FTDI connected up to the debug port. I followed the instructions in the the earlier one that was marked completed. In particular when it would not boot, I used the commands:
env set bootfile uImage-3.8.6
boot
Once it booted up, I did a ls -l /boot and found:
…
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 May 2 2013 uImage → uImage-3.8.11
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 4215264 Apr 13 2013 uImage-3.8.6
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 4217184 Apr 19 2013 uImage-3.8.8
that is whe I did the command: opkg --force-overwrite install kernel-image-3.8.11
When I again searched the boot directory I found the 3.8.11 image and when I rebooted it came up fine.
