Download Software

All images are distributed compressed with gzip. ISO and Compact Flash images will need to be uncompressed before they are copied onto media.

Images for official CUWiNware releases can be downloaded from SourceForge or from cuwireless.net.

Compact Flash Images  ISO (CD-ROM)  Updater Tarball

Compact Flash Images

Compact Flash images must be distributed according to the geometry of the compact flash device for which they are targeted. We distribute official images for SanDisk 64MB and for SanDisk 126MB Compact Flash cards. If you have a different compact flash card you will have to do a custom build from source code. It is important to note that the Soekris net4526 board which has 64MB of compact flash on board is NOT compatible with the SanDisk 64MB image. If you install a SanDisk 64MB image on a Soekris net4526 it will be bootable but it will not be online-upgradable.

The command to copy the staboot.img file to compact flash in NetBSD is
dd if=staboot.img of=/dev/rwd0d bs=8k
where rwd0d should be replaced with the raw device for the compact flash card.

ISO (CD-ROM)

ISO images are meant to be burned to CD-R which will then be bootable. Use your CD-R burning software to burn the disk. If the target platform can not boot from the CD-ROM drive then you will have to create a boot floppy. The CD-ROM you create will contain a file called /cuwboot/boot.img.

The command to copy the boot.img file to a floppy disk in NetBSD is
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0a bs=1024 count=1440.

Updater Tarball

These files are just gzipped tars of the contents of the disk image. They are geometry independent. These tar files can be loaded by a special updater program on the compact flash versions of the software.
