HI All
I have a D-link DSL-G225 router and I would like to add support for these unit.
I have managed to obtain the open source firmware from a d-link website and now I would like to know how do i get the d-link firmware to mesh with Lede so i can build a firmware for my unit.
if someone can point me to a document or a post on how I can get this done?
Regards
Jason
Well,it is not as easy as you may think.
There is no one size fits all manual.
First step would be to open the device and take note of SoC,RAM,flash and any additional IC-s like switches,wireless drivers.
Hey robimarko
thank you for replying, I surely hope it is not easy, if success was easy everyone would be doing it.
OK, one important question about opening the device, do i use the mini blow torch or an axe to crack it open.
What i was hoping for is welcome to the clan tosser, read this and then come and ask questions at pit four at the interstellar gateway sho-left from where you are now
I take it the best source of advise would still be the following articles
https://lede-project.org/docs/guide-developer/adding_new_device
and this one mainly because the address states "developer/start"
https://lede-project.org/docs/guide-developer/start
If there is more I need to read on please advise me, as I would not mind seeing this device added to the list of supported devices.
Well, you can read that and you can also check OpenWRT wiki for similar adding new device wiki.
But really opening the device to see what is in there and if it is even worth your time is the first thing.
After you know what is in there you can see if there are similar devices and you can check their code for hints
Ok jokes aside, maybe this is more useful than opening the box and straining my eyes to see little chips

the ADSL chip has been rendered useless with a tiny hole in the chip, so if I am successful with the Lede load, I will take an angle grinder to the dsl port and cut it off, but as for the rest of the board it is working well.
I am not that in-experienced at this, my first was the linksys wrt54g unit, to which i added the mmc downgrade option as per OpenWRT forum and then politely bricked the unit and now i obtained this unit to play with
From what I can see there is no other device in LEDE using this SoC,altough there are ones using BCM63281 and DTS for BCM63381 is available
You can give it a try,but if wlan is also Broadcom support for it could be limited or non existant
Well from what I have read so far from the opensouce firmware i got from D-link, everything i need to make this work is there, i just need to get the files into Lede for a build
I may be picking up a few more of these units this weekend
From what i have read these unit have
dual core procs hopefully 400mhz
16mb/64mb memory
4 eth
1 wan
wireless
USB 2 or 3
