Hi everybody,
this box' brother is described here. The source code of the original firmware can be found at Arcadyan's web site (Backfire derivative, some parts are missing, alas).
Via infos from this thread, I managed to get ssh and console access to this box and replace u-boot by a version without password check.
Now the next step is to get a real open OpenWrt running on this little jewel. So I experimented with Barrier Braker. Now I understand that my current main obstacle is creating an appropriate device tree source in target/linux/lantiq/dts/, which describes hardware specifics of this box.
Using .dts files from other Lantiq XRX200 boxes with NAND flash as template, I am already stuck at the point of getting flash access. I find the learning curve for understanding these device tree descriptions quite steep and would appreciate a lot if anyone could help (blogic?).
Following is my current .dts file which showed some positive results, and the console output produced when booting.
Please feel free to request specific details from me.
Cheers,
Arnold
