Supply the following if possible:

  • Device problem occurs on WGT643u
  • Software versions of OpenWrt/LEDE OpenWrt 19.07
    Steps to reproduce:
  • after fresh install I installed some bigger packages then the system hangs
  • a reboot with power off/on not working
  • The serial/UART/Terminal of the box shows the bootloader stops because the param partition at the end of the flash was overwritten and the checksum was wrong

It seems the partition size of the jffs2 partition is wrong.

Linux side:
