CISCO Linksys WRT54G2 v1.5 AR7240

This one seems to have JTAG and serial port so worth exploring.
I couldn't find direct support for WRT54G2 v1.5

Soldering iron is warming up...

After holding the reset button during power up for about 10sec and then releasing, I'm seeing this VxWorks banner

auto-booting...

VxWorks (for WRT54G2) version 5.5.
Kernel: WIND version 2.6.
Made on Feb 21 2012, 17:22:35.
Boot line:
tffs:(0,0) host:/fl/vxWorks.bin h=192.168.1.100 e=192.168.1.1:ffffff00 u=target tn=targetname f=0x8
value = 111 = 0x6f = 'o'

I'd rather look for lighter fluid and a box of matches.

2 MB flash, 16 MB RAM, you'd have more luck with installing OpenWrt on your soldering iron.

I like how responsive this community is :slight_smile:

Might keep it for JTAG experimentation, but generally a candidate to be tossed.
