I just ordered a D-Link DI-624S... It would be nice if it had opwnwrt support.

http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=390&sec=0

Anyone know anything about these?

What's the FCC ID on that unit?

I don't know yet; I'll post it when it gets here.

In the meantime, this is the only thing I've been able to find:

http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Realtek_SOC

Which says the unit has

D-Link DI-624S: RTL8651B SoC + Atheros SuperG chipset + USB2.0 controller

From the hardware page, support for the RTL8651B seems spotty at best, and the SuperG chipset isn't even mentioned...

--Yan

OK, I just got this in hand.

CPU:  RTL8651B
Radio:  Atheros mini-PCI of some sort
Flash:  Intel TE28F128 / J3C150 /A5277346
RAM: Hynix hy57v561620ct-h (2 ea)

FCC ID: KA2D1624SA1

The board looks like it has unpopulated headers for JTAG and COM1.

Firmware is at ftp://ftp.dlink.com/GPL/di624S/

So....

Any chance of support?

Any suggestions on hooking up JTAG?

I don't want to start mucking with this thing without a functioning jtag.

Is the  RTL8186 JTAG close enough?  This is what I have:

33  - JTAG_TDI
8   - JTAG_TMS
146 - JTAG_TRSTN
116 - JTAG_TDO
145 - JTAG_TCK (shared with WLAN LED 1)
147 - JTAG ENABLE (must set to High)

And does anyone know if an ordinary unbuffered cabel would work?

No interest?  The way I read the chips, this is an AP with

200 mhz CPU
2 USB2 ports
64 MB RAM
16 MB flash

That's a pretty decent machine.  I'm willing to do the work if someone can provide some guidance.  Or am I missing something?

--Yan

I've considered buying this router or Asus WL-500g Deluxe some time ago, but I've decided for Deluxe exactly for the reason of OpenWrt support ... (also the important things for the decision were that USB speed seemd to be slow on 624S and generally, there were not really favourable comments about some older DLink routers)

While making the decision, I had a quick look at the firmware sources for 624S plus read some comments on the chip, and found out that while RTL8651B seems to be really promising SoC (some people claimed almost 100Mbit/s at FTP transfers due to harware acceleration of some network operations - for the other routers based on this chip, at least), but the real problem seems to be that the drivers for RTL8651B were present in the firmware in the binary form only :-(

I've tried also to contact one of the past developers of RTL8651B with the questions if there's any pulic info on this chip, but I've got no answer :-(

I'd be interested in what you find, since I bought a used DI-624S and am less than satisfied with it's performance.

From what I can see in the logs D-Link's running some kind of Linux on there.  That and because I don't think it wants to write to NTFS.

Having a look at those pictures (thanks BTW, saved me the trouble of opening it up myself), I can see that the USB controller and the wireless NIC both seem to be connected on the PCI bus.  I've been digging up the reference docs for these chips too...
-HN2064C: Dual 10100 MDIX Transformer 20pin
-HN1664C: Probably something like the 2064, but smaller.
-RTL8651B: http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/prod … ;ProdID=70
Nifty looking chip.
-Hynix HY57V561620CT: http://www.hynix.com/datasheet/eng/dram … 1620CT.jsp
Now tell me I read that wrong; but isn't 268,435,456bits = 32MB?  Two of these none the less!
-NEC D720101DJ: http://www.necel.com/usb/en/product/upd720101.html
There's drivers there.
-Intel TE28F128: 16MB flash chip. http://www.intel.com/design/flcomp/prodbref/308275.htm

Well, that's what I've got.  Hope it's something useful.

D-link have updated their FTP web site with the GPL sourcecode
ftp://ftp.dlink.com/GPL/DI-624S

It's a big tar file, approx 270Mb, and includes 2.4.x kernel etc

I'm not sure if it is complete at all, but at least you can see where the basis of the operating system is from.

chris.

Yeah, I had a look there.  I haven't dug too deep, but I did find why the USB attached drive isn't accessible to computers not on the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet.
I'm hoping that this is what a more experienced user can start from to make something for this platform.

I'm very interested in a build environment for this router... especially since it's the basis for the Kyocera KR1 (EVDO Router).

The KR1 GPL code is available at: http://www.kyocera-wireless.com/kr1-rou … source.htm

Any progress on getting the RTL865xB chip in the OpenWRT build environment?

Thanks,
LK

Are available what or news on this device?

Probably this person's findings also may be useful

Beginning with DI-524UP
http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=56653

His real work is here:
http://ossfans.org/DI524UP/

I have a dlink 624s ver B1 and the serial port works exactly like it is described there (It is located in other position in the board but the pinout is the same). Beware: you must not connect the serial port directly to your computer, some electronics is needed to convert the signal from 0/3v to -12/+12v. The firmware boots and then give me a shell prompt.
Now I want to cross compile some utils to put them in my pen drive and execute them from there. Some one have any tips to do this?

Thank in advence and sorry by my uggly english.

I'm trying to get a serial console working as well - what are connectors and how are you doing the TTL to RS232 conversion?

Hm... I have this device.

CPU:  RTL8651B
WiFi:  Atheros mini-PCI (model: WMP-G07)
Flash:  MX29LV320CTTC-90G - 4Mb

Hy guys, this is my first post on OpenWRT forum, and i have a question...
In first post, with questions?! Sorry hehehhe
First, sorry for my poor inglesh...
I have a Dlink 624 M, but when give a better look, they have same Hardware (i konw, this post talk about 624-S), but they have the same RTL8651...
I can't find where i conect the Jtag or Serial Cable on PCB, where i connect this?!
I put two photos to show the PCB, somebody can help me?!
