Force a Manual Firmware Upgrade
How to upgrade the MeshAP firmware by forcing the Mesh Node to flash from a file in the /tmp directory:
You can force a manual flash by doing the following:
1) Download build24-pre5.bz from mirror.ac.uk (http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/live.locustworld.com/32mb-images/ )
2) Save/Rename it as bflash.bz2
3) Copy (using SCP) bflash.bz2 to /tmp on the meshbox.
4) SSH to the MeshBox, verify the file is in /tmp, then issue 'shutdown -r now'
The box will automatically use the bflash.bz2 image and reflash itself.
On the next boot, you will have Build24-pre5 :)
