Cannot flash firmware

Hello,

I have a problem similar to what's described in https://www.flukso.net/content/no-ip-connect (boots fine until all leds are on, responds to ping, but no heartbeat, no ssh or http access, and reset button not responding).

However the flashing procedure with ap51-flash does not work. I've tried the proposed executable on ubuntu (with some twists to get it to run on 64bit arch) and on windows, and at best I get a stream of these messages in the console :

  1. No packet.
  2. No packet.
  3. No packet.
  4. Non arp received. Make sure, the device is connected directly!
  5. Non arp received. Make sure, the device is connected directly!
  6. Expect arp with length 60, received 42
  7. Non arp received. Make sure, the device is connected directly!
  8. Non arp received. Make sure, the device is connected directly!
  9. No packet.

Any clue on what may be happening? Or another way to flash the firmware ?
I'd hate to have to give up on this flukso device that's been serving me well for the past 10y.

Thx

I managed to go a bit further with a WinXP VM (with the network interface in bridged mode), but then ap51-flash fails with

  1. ...
  2. Peer IP : 0.0.0.0
  3. Telnet for RedBoot not enabled.

Also make sure the PC you connect to the Flukso has its IP address hard coded to 192.168.255.100
