Hi everyone. I found a relatively old (however, still commonly found) router laying around and thought I could flash OpenWRT on it, however the problem is that this specific device is not supported. I found some devices with relatively similar hardware (i.e. C25) that are supported and was wondering if anyone could help me build a working image.
Winbond is 64MB RAM
One of unreadable prints must be flash.
8853A search yields ton of TP-link hardware, 4MB flash (no go) 8MB (usable as basic AP).
If it is indeed 8MB flash then you need to connect serial, try to find shell aka dropbear, at least dump flash layout and boot messages.
JP1 looks like serial header, but measure voltage before connecting anything.
Hey. Sorry for the long wait. I checked the stores around for anything similar to what I saw in the link you've provided me and it seems that both USB to TTL and USB to RS232 aren't really commonly found around where I live. I also checked some local e-stores and sadly they could order it from a warehouse abroad and get it to me by the end of the month. I will also check if someone has a pre-owned one for sale to save up on time.
Either way, I will get one as soon as possible, but as of right now is there another way to check this flash layout?
There is a stock firmware file available and also a GPL (as another usr mentioned) if it helps in any way.
