Hi xxxx,

I understand why you may find this to be necessary for security; however
if it is closed-source, there is no way to verify that it actually is
secure.

It is for this reason that I was trying to run a vanilla u-boot instead
of the supplied one. Would you be able to at least provide the
modifications necessary for the upstream u-boot to be able to make
images that work on your boards?

Thanks!

Riley

Hi Riley,

I'm really sorry, we don't share u-boot source. We used to in the past but not any more. This decision was taken keeping the security of the users in mind. I hope you understand.

If you have any other questions, please let us know!

I'm setting this ticket to solved for now, but if you have any additional questions, feel free to reply to this email at any time and it'll automatically reopen the ticket.

Hi xxxx,

I understand that you cannot explain differences between airOS and
openwrt, but the bootloader is separate to the operating system; it is
not part of airOS.

I'm not asking for support; I am simply asking for the source to u-boot,
which is GPL. As far as I can tell, the modified u-boot source is not
included in the GPL tarball that you sent me.

Thank you for your offer to add modifications to the official firmware,
but no change in the firmware is able to change the bootloader (for
which a jtag cable is needed).

Thanks!

Hi Riley,

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately we no longer offer support for our SDK, and I'm not able to divulge in the specific differences between airOS and openwrt.

If you want the SDKs for a specific reason (customization, additional features, etc), please let us know and we'll see what we can do to include this in the official firmware.

We're sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused, and let us know if we can help in any other way.

I'm setting this ticket to solved for now, but if you have any additional questions, feel free to reply to this email at any time and it'll automatically reopen the ticket.

Thanks!

Hi xxxx,

Thanks for your reply.

I've downloaded it, but I can't seem to find the u-boot source. Could
you please tell me in which directory it is?

Reading from the below link to a thread on your forums, it would seem
that Ubiquiti's u-boot is developed independently of OpenWRT, which
might explain why it may have been left out.

Thanks!

Hi xxxx,

I'm thinking of purchasing a Nanostation LOCO M2. I would like to,
however, make modifications to the bootloader. So, while I will
eventually be flashing new firmware, that is not my primary concern.

Thanks!

Hi Riley,

Thanks for getting in touch with us!

Just wanted to know, are you trying to flash airMax (Pico) to UniFi. 

Awaiting your reply.

Thanks!

To whom it may concern,

I would like to have a copy of the source code for the u-boot
bootloader, with your modifications for the Airmax routers, but I cannot
find this on your website. Can you please show me where I could find the
source?

Yours sincerely,
Riley Baird
