H3C NX30 Pro Flashing Notes

Hello, this is just some quick notes from me flashing OpenWRT onto my H3C NX30 Pro

  1. Tear apart the device that is held together with way too many plastic clips
  2. Attach your connections to the UART TTL Flashing pads
  3. Boot up the router and connect to the serial port with a baud rate of 115200
  4. Select the 4th option that is "Upgrade FIP" or something like that
  5. Connect an ethernet cable between LAN1 and your PC, note that the Ethernet port is down at this time
  6. Setup your static IP configuration as the same you setup in the serial console
  7. Serve the uboot FIP over TFTP
  8. Once it's done, reboot the router
  9. Now, you're supposed to hold the reset button for 10 secs and it should have booted into uboot and give you a web page you can visit to flash, but for some reason for mine, I noticed in the serial console it was looking to boot the initramfs file from TFTP
  10. So, I instead provided the file over TFTP, and the router started to boot, I removed the static ip on my PC and visited the webui
  11. From the WebUI, flash the full sysupgrade image, and reboot
  12. Now you have a H3C NX30 Pro running OpenWRT!

Notes, I did this with a unit running the at the time latest "010" firmware, telnet was not available due to it being disabled after version 009
