Solved: Re: init>> prompt on 2802i Access Point - Page 2

LeroyW · ‎06-17-2020

Hello,

we have a 2802i AP that keeps booting into init>> prompt:

init>>

Please choose one of the following boards:
1. 3K
2. 2K (new)
3. 2K (proto)
4. Milos
5. 2KH
6. 3KVE (v-sku)
7. 3KH/3KA/4K
8. Duplo
init>>

If I select 2. 2K (new) the AP boots normally and functions as expected (joins Controller, etc.). But after reload, power-cycle and even mode-button-reset it keeps getting stuck at the init>> prompt.

After some poking around in u-boot, I noticed that the board_env variables are not set:

u-boot>> dump_board_env
SF: Detected S25FL032P with page size 64 KiB, total 4 MiB
Board env is unconfigured
u-boot>>

Compared that to a working AP (same model):

u-boot>> dump_board_env
SF: Detected S25FL032P with page size 64 KiB, total 4 MiB
Board ID: 2K
Flags=00000000
EM Ignore: 0
EM Blacklist : pid=00000000, mask=00000000
EM Whitelist : pid=00000000, mask=00000000
u-boot>>

How do we set this on the faulty AP?

I see no option to set this, only to clear (via clear_board_env).

As a side note, where is the documentation on u-boot?

Is TAC/RMA the only option left here? I would very much like it if we were able to fix this ourselves.

the progpid is a command to set the board id which is what we need to do but this command will not work in 4800 and above. it will work anything less of 4800. basically this sets the board id environment value which will be used by u boot and i am also strukling to find in 4800 how to set. i have the command but its asking file to download and program. i am not sure what file we need to download a kind of cfg file and so on and i am bit clueless. any thoughts will be highly appreciated.

How to set board env ?

resetenv - i try this, not working

JuanLira93 · ‎12-08-2021

Hello!

I solve my problem with the reset button. I try a reboot command, unplug and plug in the PoE cable but it doesn't work.

You need to disconnect the AP from the PoE, press the reset button and connect again, you need to press and hold the button in this process for 30 seconds, then the AP will reboot. You only need to reconfigure the first parameters.

Best regards.

Hi I also have the same issue and did u able to fix the board Os and pls help

ripclap · ‎06-20-2025

I ran into this exact problem and solved it by loading an earlier bootloader image. Below are the steps I followed:

Download the legacy firmware
Grab an older Cisco firmware bundle—for example, for a 2802i I used ap3g3-k9w8-tar.153-3.JC15.tar.
Extract the U-Boot binary
- Unpack the .tar file.
- Open btdlr.img (7-Zip works well) and extract the U-Boot file:
  named something like u-boot-barbados3k-abraxas-signed_*_REL.bin.
- Rename it to u-boot.bin.
Configure your TFTP settings in U-Boot

u-boot> setenv serverip 10.80.21.253
u-boot> setenv netmask 255.255.254.0
u-boot> setenv ipaddr 10.80.21.100
Flash the older U-Boot
u-boot> bubt
Using default filename "u-boot.bin" TFTP from server 10.80.21.253; our IP address is 10.80.21.100
Loading: [##########] 7.4 MiB/s Bytes transferred = 1023524 (0xF9E24)
Override Env parameters to default? [y/N] y
Erasing 0x100000 - 0x110000: [Done]
Erasing 0x0 - 0x100000: [Done]
Writing image to flash: [Done]
Reboot into the legacy U-Boot
u-boot> reset
Use progpid to set the correct Board-ID
u-boot> help progpid
progpid - Program PID cookie

Usage: progpid 3k | 2k | 2kp1 | milos | 2kh
u-boot> progpid 2k
u-boot> reset

After reboot, you’ll no longer be prompted at boot to select the Board ID—and the AP will correctly identify itself as a 2K device.
