Topic: Not Tested device

Hi,
I would like to install OpenWRT on not tested device FWR-2105 from producer CTS.  This gateway has optical WAN port and 4 ETH ports.

I am novice in this area. I am ready take a risk of damage of this device. On motherboard there are these chips:
5VTechnologies  5VT1310 - G0S586.1, 0926B

Spansion - S29GL064N90TFI04, 926BB402H
Infineon PSB 6970, V1.3, 1YUSCM28M17, 60928E2K

Can you give me advice how to proceed with instalation OpenWRT?
Thank you very much

I proceed according to this quide for Add New Platform:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/devel/add.new.platform

I analysed device using NMAP and HEXDUMP:

    Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.60
    Host is up (0.0016s latency).
    Not shown: 998 closed ports
    PORT   STATE SERVICE
    53/tcp open  domain
    80/tcp open  http
    MAC Address: 00:06:19:05:51:3C
    Device type: general purpose
    Running: Linux 2.6.X
    OS details: Linux 2.6.15 - 2.6.23 (embedded)
    Network Distance: 1 hop
   
    server IP 192.168.1.119
    IP 192.168.1.1.
    inputfreq 270MHz

I should find SDK software now. The producer hasn't any SDK. Is it possible to download SDK from any other sources?
Or my last chance is to get in touch with the gpl-violations.org community.

Thank you for advise

Contact the vendor and let it know about its obligation to provide the gpl sources.

Vendor cann't get SDK. Is there any solution?
For example use one of these ways to obtain an OpenWrt firmware image file?

1) Download a pre-assembled (prebuilt) image from the downloads section recommended
2) Use the Image Generator to generate an OpenWrt firmware image file yourself. (Generate in terms of compose, arrange, assort, lump together)
3) Use the SDK to cross-compile packages.
4 )Use the OpenWrt Buildroot to do everything from scratch. This process involves:
    downloading source code
    compiling the toolchain (SDK)
    crosscompiling kernel + packages
    generating an OpenWrt firmware image file

Can I obtain original OpenWRT Firmware and build it yourself?

According to the data sheet it is a Versatile ARM926EJ-S, which seems to be supported by the linux kernel, though it doesn't seem to be supported in openwrt yet (but I think that would be a pretty simple task).
Do you have root access to the linux running on the board? You could dig a bit through /proc and /sys to gather some information. Also dmesg to see the boot-log.

The problem is that this device has web management only. I cannot access to telnet/ssh. There isn't JTAG also. On the motherboard there are only 2 different connectors both with 4 pins. In my opinion one of these connectors uses for power.

Is there any way how get access to telnet/ssh?

Thank you

Thank you for advise.
I buy serial cable and check it.

The discussion might have continued from here.
