MAC NMRPFLASH TUTORIAL & OPENWRT GUIDE

[DARKNESS]

This comprehensive guide is specifically designed for Mac users. Please adhere to the sequential steps outlined in the accompanying video demonstration to successfully execute the system flash procedure.

**Install Homebrew:**

Launch the Terminal application. For a comprehensive guide, please refer to the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWJKRmFLn-g-

Execute the Homebrew installation command using the Terminal: /bin/bash -c “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)”

**Download NMRpflash:**

Open the Homebrew Terminal.

Install NMRpflash using the following command: `brew install nmrpflash`

Download the NMRpflash file from the official website or a designated download location.

**Prepare for NMRpflash Execution:**

Transfer the NMRpflash file to the Downloads folder.

Create a new folder and place NMRpflash and the router’s CHK file within it. Ensure that both files are unzipped.

Verify that the “CHK” option is selected when using NMRpflash. Failure to do so may result in an unsuccessful firmware update. If the folder name does not include “CHK,” rename it to match the name of the firmware file downloaded.

**Connect to Ethernet:**

Connect your Mac to the Ethernet adapter.

**Execute NMRpflash:**

Open the Terminal application and run NRMPFLASH

Check the eth you need to enter before upgrading.

Ensure that all routers are powered off before proceeding with the firmware installation.

Run NMRpflash in administrator mode using the following command: `sudo nmrpflash -i eth0 -f firmware.bin` example sudo nrmpflash -i eth0 -f R7000-V1.0.12.216_10.2.122.chk

Initiate the router’s power and allow the installation process to commence.
