Custom mLinux images for The Things Network

These are custom mLinux images for the Multitech MultiConnect® Conduit™ and MultiConnect® Conduit™ AP built for use as The Things Network gateways.

For details on how these images differ from the standard images, see the appropriate branch in meta-ttni layer. For example, for mLinux 3.x see the mlinux-3 branch

Note that these images are no longer being updated to github as they exceed the recommended size restrictions. They are available at https://ttni.tech/mlinux/images

Usage

To install one of these images on a Conduit or Conduit AP, download the relevent image for your hardware. The subdirectories below the version are named mtcdt for Conduit images and mtcap for Conduit AP images.

root@mtcdt:~# cd /var/volatile
root@mtcdt:~# wget https://ttni.tech/mlinux/images/mtcdt/5.3.0b/ttni-base-image-mtcdt-upgrade.bin
root@mtcdt ~# /usr/sbin/mlinux-firmware-upgrade ${PWD}/ttni-base-image-mtcdt-upgrade.bin

For a Multitech Conduit Access Point, substitute mtcap for mtcdt in above lines.

Note that by in some many, most of the configuration of you Conduit or Conduit AP is lost when doing a firmware upgrade. So perform an upgrade before configuring your device or be prepared to reconfigure.
If you use the Ansible configuration for managing Conduits noted below, configuration should be preserved.
