Topic: RTL8652 SoC...?

The content of this topic has been archived on 27 Dec 2015. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Has been advised by Gabor Juhos that this little device (Sapido RB-1132), despite the outer appearance to this, actually utilizes the RTL8652 SoC instead of Star/Cavium's CNX11xx/STR91xx.

A quick Google search didn't turn out much information. The most informative one seems to be this.

Could it be a successor of the RTL8651...?

I also don't seem to find the Linux kernel source for this SoC available, isn't Realtek under GPL obligation to release them...?

Cheers.

Got something via the obama.asp hack...

Ooops... Looks like the photos have been removed. It did show RB8196BU on one of the chips.

And the DD-WRT gentlemen claimed he's only got a (quite) unreliable flashing success rate for the RB-1132.

Cheers.

Somehow I've broken my router when upgrading the firmware. Is there a TFTP/LAN recovery method for these Realtek devices...?

Cheers.

The inside of mine...

There's the UART connector between the USB and RJ45 connectors...?

Cheers.

The discussion might have continued from here.
