You may remember me from such threads as Meraki MS220-series FOSS firmware.

Well, I'm back, and I am looking for people willing to test an alpha quality custom firmware for the Meraki MS210/MS225 series switches and ideally provide feedback/fixes to get it to a more usable state.

Standard disclaimers apply:
  • Do not use in production
  • This may destroy your switch
  • You will need soldering and SPI flashing tools (like the ch341a)
  • There is no GUI, only command line management
  • PoE doesn't work
If you do not have experience developing with Linux on embedded devices or hardware modification, then I do not recommend attempting this, all parties involved will have a very bad time.

If you have a Meraki MS210 or MS225 and are willing to test a very alpha firmware (and really, I cannot stress this enough, your expectations should be LOW) please get in touch.

Hey there!
I have 2 Meraki MS225-48LP switches with POE as well as the stacking cable. I would be happy to help test firmware, I am very competent in Linux and various languages. I also have various tools I can use for flashing such as a CH340 console cable, a USB Serial Breakout Board and the SPI pins on the Raspberry pi 3b+. I also could not care less if I had to open my switch and solder stuff as I am competent in that too.

Would be super keen to escape the crushing payments to use hardware that I own

I have a MS225-24P that I would like to use to be a tester. I don't mind modifying it as needed. How do I become a tester?
