The following are the instructions for updating the PAWS router firmware and pushing the updates to the PAWS router remotely

Generate new ipk

  1. Make the changes that you want to paws-firmware and commit them to the git

  2. SSH into server and update version numbers in generate-ipk

    $ ssh -i @server01.horizon.emnet.co.uk $ sudo su paws $ cd /home/paws/paws-server/ $ vi generate-ipk.sh # and update the old version and version numbers $ ./generate-ipk # during this you will be asked to login as root and commit to git
