Ubiquiti to OpenWRT

...just some rough notes on accessing a Ubiquiti device (not Ubiquity)
Device: Ubiquity UniFi AP AC Pro Generation 2 (with system board that says Generation 2, but doesn't match any other picture on the internet for a Generation 2 device)
Default IP Address: 192.168.1.20 (but watch out, if a DHCP server is available, it will obtain an IP from that pool)
Default SSH Password: ubnt /ubnt
Strategy: Ditch the Ubiquiti Firmware and install OpenWRT.
Install version 3.7.58 firmware (the below assumes the file is renamed to 3.7.58.bin);
- scp root@WhatEverIPAddress:/3.7.58.bin /tmp (make sure it has access to a Linux device to use SCP)
- fwupdate.real -m /tmp/3.7.58.bin (the ".real" supposedly updates the boot code)
Install OpenWRT;
- scp root@WhatEverIPAddress:/OpenWRT_SysUpgrade.bin /tmp (pick your version, ubnt_unifiac-pro-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin in this example)
- mtd write WhatEverOpenWRTFileName.bin kernel0
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=1 of=/dev/mtd4- Reboot the device: reboot
- ..."look for it" at 192.168.1.1
- And then head on over to: AC Series Recommended Software and Utilities - Wiki.TerraBase.info, and install some utilities that will allow for connecting a USB Flash drive so some real software can be installed on the little guy (not enough internal storage).
...and if that don't work, break out the soldering iron and attach some pins for JTAG / Serial.
