Download packages for CAP upgrade from CAPsMAN
ℹ️ Info: This script can not be used on its own but requires the base installation. See main README for details.
Description
CAPsMAN can upgrate CAP devices. If CAPsMAN device and CAP device(s) are differnet architecture you need to store packages for CAP device's architecture on local storage.
This script automatically downloads these packages.
Requirements and installation
Just install the script on CAPsMAN device.
Depending on whether you use wifi package (/interface/wifi), wifiwave2
package (/interface/wifiwave2) or legacy wifi with CAPsMAN (/caps-man)
you need to install a different script.
For wifi (RouterOS 7.13 and later):
$ScriptInstallUpdate capsman-download-packages.wifi;
For wifiwave2 (up to RouterOS 7.12):
$ScriptInstallUpdate capsman-download-packages.wifiwave2;
For legacy CAPsMAN:
$ScriptInstallUpdate capsman-download-packages.capsman;
Optionally add a scheduler to run after startup. For wifi (RouterOS 7.13
and later):
/system/scheduler/add name=capsman-download-packages on-event="/system/script/run capsman-download-packages.wifi;" start-time=startup;
For wifiwave2 (up to RouterOS 7.12):
/system/scheduler/add name=capsman-download-packages on-event="/system/script/run capsman-download-packages.wifiwave2;" start-time=startup;
For legacy CAPsMAN:
/system/scheduler/add name=capsman-download-packages on-event="/system/script/run capsman-download-packages.capsman;" start-time=startup;
Packages available in local storage in older version are downloaded unconditionally.
If no packages are found the script tries to download missing packages for
legacy CAPsMAN by guessing from system log. For wifi and wifiwave2 a
default set of packages is downloaded.
wifi:routeros,wifi-qcomandwifi-qcom-acfor arm and arm64wifiwave2:routerosandwifiwave2for arm and arm64
ℹ️ Info: If you have packages in the directory and things go wrong for what ever unknown reason: Remove all packages and start over.
Usage and invocation
Run the script manually:
/system/script/run capsman-download-packages.wifi;
... or from scheduler.
After package download all out-of-date CAP devices are upgraded automatically. For a rolling upgrade install extra script capsman-rolling-upgrade.
