I have started testing the DIR-615 or DIR615.
(And thought it best to post this under Hardware Hacking)
I have found it very easy to explore and modify the router system.
It has a clearly labeled UART 4pin port 'CON5' [1VCC,TX,RX,GND] (needs MAX232),
a second 20pin port 'CON4' -probably JTAG,
and a full unpopulated PCI-bus port.
I tested the UART port.
It connects at 115200:8N1
It provides the bootup output, -and a full Serial Term using the Linux ASH Shell Script !
I have used commands, including: ls, ps, free, echo, cat, gpio, ...etc.
The script commands seem to work fine.
... I think this means that I can develop on the box itself. if I can find or build a compiler !
- A lot easier than compiling the full Filesystem on the PC , then downloading to the router (and praying no bugs).
I posted the Output on this page :
