     31<p>
     32<tt>sysupgrade</tt> is an <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/OpenWrt">OpenWrt</a> invention that allows the rootfs to be updated to another firmware.
     33</p>
     34<p>
     35The <tt>sysupgrade</tt> script for the Gateworks products provides:
     36</p>
     37<ul><li>the <tt>/sbin/sysupgrade</tt> script on the target will flash the kernel/rootfs contained in a specified image
     38</li><li>the image contents will be validated via an md5 checksum in the image header
     39</li><li>the kernel and rootfs will be updated (squashfs+jffs2, jffs2 supported, or ubi)
     40</li><li>standard system config files will be retained (saved, then restored) (unless the <tt>-n</tt> cmdline option is provided)
     41</li><li>the <tt>-c</tt> command-line argument will save all files on the overlay filesystem
     42</li></ul><p>
     43A standard <tt>make</tt> in the <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/OpenWrt">OpenWrt</a> buildroot tree will create a <tt>sysupgrade</tt> image for your target by default named:
     44</p>
     45<ul><li>avila/cambria/laguna: <tt>bin/&lt;target&gt;/*-sysupgrade.bin</tt>.
     46</li><li>ventana: <tt>bin/imx6/*-squashfs-nand_*.ubi</tt>
     47</li></ul><p>
     48You can find more information about sysupgrade on the <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/OpenWrt">OpenWrt</a> wiki <a class="ext-link" href="http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.sysupgrade"><span class="icon">​</span>here</a>

     121If wanting to use <tt>sysupgrade</tt> to upgrade from 14.08 to 16.02 a bug in sysupgrade will cause it to not preserve configuration settings. This bug is only triggered if moving from a single partition ubifs (14.08) to a dual-partition squashfs+ubifs overlay (in 16.02).
     122</p>
     123<p>
     124If you wish to upgrade from 14.08 to 16.02 'and' preserve configuration please do the following to fix your sysupgrade script on 14.08 prior to using it:
     125</p>
     126<div class="code"><pre>sed -i -e <span class="s2">"s~.*if ! mount -t ubifs /dev/\$ubivol /tmp/new_root; then.*~if ! mount -t ubifs ubi0:rootfs_data /tmp/new_root; then~"</span> /lib/upgrade/nand.sh
     127</pre></div><h3 id="Avila">Avila</h3>
     128<p>
     129If you are using sysupgrade on an Avila family product you must use the bootloader that sets the machine-type to the unique avila type of 526 instead of the IXDP425 machine-type of 245. For historical reasons the Avila boards are shipped with the bootloader that tells the kernel its an IXDP425 in which case only the 'openwrt-avila-zImage' which ignores the bootloader's machine-type will work and the generic <tt>openwrt-ixp4xx-generic-zImage</tt> which relies on a properly set machine-type will not work. Alternatively you could generate a <tt>sysupgrade</tt> image comprised of the <tt>openwrt-avila-zImage</tt>. You can find rb-526 <a class="ext-link" href="http://trac.gateworks.com/export/342/avila/redboot/images/rb-526.bin"><span class="icon">​</span>here</a>
