TR3000v1 two flash versions 128 MB and 256 MB

Hardware Questions and Recommendations

Hello everyone,

I have a question about my newly purchased TR3000. I read on their website that there are two versions. 1 with 128 GB of storage and 1 with 256 GB of storage. When I look at how much storage I have in openwrt it is about 40 GB. This is when nothing is installed. When I view my partitions . This is what I see:
root@OpenWrt:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 6.5M 6.5M 0 100% /rom
tmpfs 242.4M 1.0M 241.4M 0% /tmp
/dev/ubi0_2 42.8M 1.2M 39.3M 3% /overlay
overlayfs:/overlay 42.8M 1.2M 39.3M 3% /
tmpfs 512.0K 0 512.0K 0% /dev
The question is, witch version do i have? and why do i only have +- 40 GB left?
@frollic i see that you also have a TR3000v1 or i see you frequently respond to this device.
could you be of any assistance?

are you sure ?
the GL-MT3000, which is similar, have 256MB flash.
I haven't seen any posts about a 256MB Cudy.

read the Flash MB paragraph at https://openwrt.org/toh/start

the website states:
Flash/ROM 128 MB (1 Gbit) NAND, or 256 MB (2 Gbit) NAND

But unsure what to make of the command df -h

They also mark the latest version for 256 MB sorry not GB haha

you can't, cat /proc/mtd.

would have expected a 256MB TR3000 to have non working wifi, if there's a ART partition stored somewhere, unless they kept the flash layout intact, but it would mean they're throwing away 128MB flash space.

this is what the command gives me:
root@OpenWrt:~# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00100000 00020000 "BL2"
mtd1: 00080000 00020000 "u-boot-env"
mtd2: 00200000 00020000 "Factory"
mtd3: 00040000 00020000 "bdinfo"
mtd4: 00200000 00020000 "FIP"
mtd5: 04000000 00020000 "ubi"

Flashed the latest openwrt and never thought about bricking my device if it had a different storage size. But the device works wifi etc etc no problems encounterd so far.

Not an expert so i do not now what to make of this sorry:
"would have expected a 256MB TR3000 to have non working wifi, if there's a ART partition stored somewhere, unless they kept the flash layout intact, but it would mean they're throwing away 128MB flash spac"

But you get the same when you put in the commands? cat /proc/mtd and df -h .
Temp space gives me 242 MB and for the 42 MB for the diskspace in the webpage.

yes

tmp space is RAM.

Okay so nothing to worry about and i probably have the 128MB version?

This is probably the reason why they are selling it for 59 euro haha so the new version sells better.

Did not now the tmp space is the RAM learned something thanks :slight_smile:

you can check your dmesg

[    0.866532] spi-nand spi0.0: calibration result: 0x3
[    0.871580] spi-nand spi0.0: ESMT SPI NAND was found.

Thanks that make it official 128 MiB is stated there.
