Topic: D-Link 504T

The content of this topic has been archived on 20 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hi,

I want to install openwrt on new D-Link 504T, i've already built some *.bin files:
-rw-r--r--  1 df df  478400 Apr  5 22:48 openwrt-ar7-2.4-kernel.bin
-rw-r--r--  1 df df 1384596 Apr  5 22:48 openwrt-ar7-2.4-squashfs-AG1B.bin
-rw-r--r--  1 df df 1384548 Apr  5 22:48 openwrt-ar7-2.4-squashfs.bin
-rw-r--r--  1 df df 1384596 Apr  5 22:48 openwrt-ar7-2.4-squashfs-WA21.bin
-rw-r--r--  1 df df 1384596 Apr  5 22:48 openwrt-ar7-2.4-squashfs-WA22.bin
-rw-r--r--  1 df df 1384596 Apr  5 22:48 openwrt-ar7-2.4-squashfs-WA31.bin
-rw-r--r--  1 df df 1384596 Apr  5 22:48 openwrt-ar7-2.4-squashfs-WA32.bin
-rw-r--r--  1 df df 1384596 Apr  5 22:48 openwrt-ar7-2.4-squashfs-WAG2.bin

What files I should use?

Thanks.

PS: maybe someone already had an experience of 504T upgrading, please give me info how to do it.

Hi,

I'd like to have infos too...

I own a 502t and i like to run OpenWrt on it.

Another question is:

Should i upgrade with an original firmware to get ADSL2/2+ support?
Or installing OpenWrt get that support too?

mrmr

EDIT:

right now i've got output from ADAM2 for this 502t  (DSL-502T/UK V A1):

As always serial console has helped me alot.
Just follow the InstallingAR7 and put on the unit "openwrt-ar7-2.4-squashfs.bin". For me it worked so far...

btw, as this unit has only one eth, i can't ping nothing now...
Working on it!

mrmr

Hi mrmr,
Great to see that you have a working openwrt on DLS-502T. smile

I've also purchased a DSL-502T for the experimenting only. Mine version of DSL-502 have only 2MB FLASH (AT49V162A) and 8MB RAM (M12L64164A)  sad
quite low in memory profile.

mrmr, I wanted to know- 1)whether you have only installed the filesystem image or the both filesystem and the kernel images? 2) Will the newly compiled programs and utilities will work with the original kernel provided with the DSL-502T?

I tried to compile openwrt but the filesystem and kernel image size is much bigger.

I would like to make DSL-502T act as a NTP server with ethernet only LAN/WAN interface with working serial interface and GPIOs.

Pls. sugest some ideas to make smaller kernel and filesystem images.

santosh...

1) OpenWRT Kamikaze if installed using SquashFS comes as image which has kernel and filesystem, you need both for the unit to boot.
2) Some binaries may work if you move them from one system to the other but don't rely on it.

You should be able to get the image down to less than 2MB if you don't install much

I think the DSL-504T is only mildy different to the 502T, here's some info on how I set my unit up: http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Har … k/DSL-502T

I'm novice in openwrt pls. teach me!

Does this means the kernel and filesystem both are embedded into a single squashfs image?

I tried to mount the squashfs image in my fedora 5 system it failed, says header not found.

yes I think so, also about how small the images can be, a basic install is around 1.65MB this leaves only a tiny bit of room for other things, but enough room for an ntp server etc. it all depends on what you need.

I don't think you could mount it unless you use a hex editor and separate the  squashfs from the kernel, look for the string hsqs this is the start of the fs, I guess you also need a mount that understands how to mount squash3 and also has the LZMA patch applied, since this is non-standard, but used by OpenWRT.

Is there a way to put OpenWRT into DI-604 or DI-804HV?

Do share the info if you found a way to do it.

As far as I know the non-T series and the T series are quite different animals, ie based on totally different processors. The DI 604 is based on DLINK's DL7300 which I found no information about it's MIPs compatible or not. I have also never able to TFTP into it or doing ADAM2-style telnet into it.

Tnx Z3r0,
I'm making a JTAG interface then will try smile

I made the buffered JTAG interface with 74HC244 buffer IC but it not worked sad I dont know why!
So decided to make the Xilinx cable with four resistors and it worked smile

The "AT49V162A" flash chip is not supported by the HairyDairyMaid software so I downloaded "CICLaMaB" from http://www.dlinkpedia.net/software/ciclamab.php and it worked for me.

COOOOOOL

Could someone please describe me differences between 504T and 504G. Is 504G capable of running OpenWRT? I'm not interested in working DSL - rather I would like to use it as cheap embedded platform.

Let me answer myself.

Maybe it is possible to switch to OpenWRT but hardware constrains (2MB flash; 8MB SDRAM) limits sensible use. (Someone may put this info into table of hardware).
Info for search engine: DSL-504G vs. DSL-504T

hi, all.
few days ago i picked up on the fleamarket for couple $$ some DSL-302G ver.C1, DSL-502T ver.A5, DSL-504G ver.D1. all of them still alive and blinking with their LED's. i hooked'em up with "console tail" - all good wink

502T have TNETTD7300GDU ARM7 clone CPU 4Mb NAND flash ROM and 16Mb SDRAM
302G and 504G have CONEXANT GS8120-174-008D ARM7 clone CPU, 8Mb SDRAM and 2Mb NAND flash ROM

basically i bought them for capacitors and some smd components, but when i had look on the datasheet of AT45DB161B(302G and 504G)  pinout of this chip remind me something very common. 5 minutes of google gave me that interface of this chip is EQUAL to..... SD Card. what does it mean? with some skills, its very possible to replace original microchip with SD Card socket and have as much memory as you want.

i dont really want to keep them as ADSL modems, even ready to remove DSL front-end, but to use this extremly cheap equipment as Linux device with serial console, ethernet port, USB-slave and possibility to attach one more SD Card via GPIO(instead of LED)should be good.

what do you think, folks?

The discussion might have continued from here.
