The new Ubiuiti airGrid M5-HP has update hardware and will only run with firmware that is designed for it.

That implies that it will not currently support the Hamnet firmwares?  The info from Ubiquiti is that it requires XW firmware.  All devices shipped in 2014 are supposed to have this upgrade.  

Any developer aware of this and what suggestions should I follow?

We are well aware of the new XW board.  We plan support for it in an upcoming release.

The issue is related to upstream (OpenWRT) support for the hardware.

It will require checking out the OpenWRT BuildRoot (latest edition most likely), Research on the NanoStation XW patches @ OpenWRT, and system building.


https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=49305

https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/16796

https://www.mail-archive.com/openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org/msg24924.html

are just some of the related posts on the subject and are slightly older (ive seen some re-factor work done on the patch since I last looked at it)

Once we get OpenWRT working fully on the devices we can move to supporting BBHN proper on it.

The NanoStation XW patch is a working start in most cases to begin supporting (and is worth loading on the device to try)

Be prepared to pop open the device and access its board, you will need serial port access from the onboard headers to debug the issues.

Example Status: i have a NanoBeam as noted in first URL, i have wifi working but no ethernet on my last run, so far but have been pulled assigned by other bug and haven't been able to work on it) 

Ive got a Rocket M2 Titanium that partially loads but needs RF and Ethernet work (RM2TI is a form of the XW hardware).


All this comes down to build files.
