Hi,
For many years I have a RB3011 in my lab, but some weeks ago suddenly it would not boot anymore.
I've tried netinstall-cli on my Linux but it does not really complete.

RouterBOOT booter 7.16beta7
RouterBOARD 3011UiAS
CPU frequency: 1400 MHz
Memory size: 1 GiB
NAND size: 128 MiB


Press Ctrl+E to enter etherboot mode
Press <delete> key within 2 seconds to enter setup..
writing settings to flash... OK
trying bootp protocol... OK
Got IP address: 192.168.88.51
resolved mac address DC:0E:A1:16:CB:EB
transfer started .............................. transfer ok, time=4.40s
setting up elf image.. ==> It stays like that forever.

With the CLI-tool I wanted to push the 7.16.1-arm.npk file to this box.
I know I f*cked by formatting the NAND (licensing key probably gone, but I'll deal with that later)


When I ran the memory-test from the boot-menu through serial console....I got some output that I did not like either.....

Error in address=0x413FFEA0, W=0x413FFEA0 R=0x4100AED4 X=0x003F5074

(keeps repeating forever it seems, does not pass that address-location)


So ... what else is there to try execept for the trashcan ?

Replace RAM?

... brand new shiny RB5009

They may be shiny, but fun level is anywhere near what RB3011 provides: full 1U dimension, LCD display, two switch chips, etc. Only colour comes near RB3011's black

True, the RB3011 really looks bad ass with its LCD-display

@holvoetn now you started to nitpick. Who cares about performance if it looks this great?

If @jvanhambelgium cared about performance, then he wouldn't even think about fixing RB3011 (6x routing speed at 80% power consumption).

Isn't that the same display which can cause performance problems ??

Yeah I remember some threads about that
Back on the days of 6.x releases I think.

This machine was my lab-router. I've moved to RB5009 some years ago as my main home-router now.
I think the time has come to lay the RB3011 permanently to rest and look around.

Perhaps a small hEX (re-released edition)
