hi,
is it possible to install openwrt on a cuteBox-2300sx?
this box is equipped with a vortex86 cpu, 128M of RAM and a compact flash reader.
This CPU is FPU less so it's necessary to compile the kernel with Math emulation

anybody try openwrt with this hardware?

I am building one right now to test.  It appears you can customize the kernel with the buildroot, which is what I am trying.  I'll let you know if I get it working.

Unfortunately, the Math Emulation is not the only problem.  It also uses an RDC6040 ethernet chip, which is not included in the distributed kernel.  Hunting further...

Sometimes, it just suddenly appears, after having searched and searched before:

The last thing on that page is the method for configuring the kernel (make kernel_menuconfig).  It is then simple.  The Kamikaze trunk uses kernel 2.6.25 (currently), which includes support for the RDC6040 (though it is not enabled by default.  Just make sure that it and MATH EMULATION are checked off to be compiled into the kernel.

Hello

If you still need openwrt on cutebox-2300sx...

I've recompiled OpenWrt 10.03 software for eBox-2300 and eBox-2300sx.
Firmware configured to boot from CF-card, but should work from HDD too.
Firmware files and readme you can found at http://www.asha.com.ua/storage/ebox/

The discussion might have continued from here.
