That was the first verrsion I've tryed to upload as "96348GW-10" was something I've seen in the original firmware source code from Asus. Anyway, it's impossible for now to upload any of them as I don't have a serial console. I hope that the support for this router can advance a bit more and soon we can have a nice openwrt firmware on it.

for ASUS WL-600G you can use ASUS Firmware Restoration Utility amd Firmware restoration mode to upload any different from ASUS trx file.
ASUS WL-600G NOT use tftp to accept file, when ASUS WL-600G in Firmware restoration mode you can access it by http://192.168.1.1 where you can see restoration page.

Yep, succeeded in creating OpenWRT firmware for the Davolink DV2020 / DV201AMR router

Here's the dmesg:

There where a few problems with the CFE version it was running:
- It expects the rootfs direcly after the BCM tag, so it starts at xxxx100
- At startup the firmware image is checksummed, so we can't use a rw file systems as part of the firmware image.

In order to fix:
- Did some changes to
  bcm_tag.h
  board_bcm963xx.c
  bcm963xx-flash.c
  target/linux/brcm63xx/image/Makefile
- Created a custom bcmImageBuilder that will create bootable images.
         

If someone is interested I can send in a patch (edit: Patch)

Yes, please post the patches.

are you guys with hostapd + b43 still having high CPU usage softirq issues?  the ath9k driver is seeing the same problems.

I have measured with iperf lan performance, and i have received  30Mb/s  and softirq about 98%. I have also tried wireless, but performance was very low.

@ RoundSparrow
i don't use wifi, b43 pci card of my router is out.

@ Linuxinside
i test your perl script, i used command line like this:
$ ./BrcmImage.pl -k vmlinux.lzma.cfe -r root.squashfs -c 6348 -b 96348GW-11 -i 1 -v
$ kernel at 0xbfec951d length 0xbb94f(768335)
$ rootfs at 0xbfc10100 length 0x2b941d(2855965)
router load firmware from web page, but at startup it hangs.
your script first load rootfs and them kernel, and openwrt don't like this order.
How i do use it?

Thnx for your greath work.

You'll heve to add -t (prefix load, entry, len to the kernel)
Also use -p this will align the root fs, and place it behind the kernel (you will have to install the patch
to  bcm963xx-flash.c thoug)

./BrcmImage.pl -t -p -k vmlinux.lzma.cfe -r root.squashfs -c 6348 -b 96348GW-11 -i 1

Let me know if this helps...

So, we can upload the compiled SVN firmware using the web interface but then you have to debrick it? What router are you using?

Also I've seen it was added support for the Thomson/Inventel Livebox [1] router. Does anybody tried the firmware in this router?

Thanks and keep the good work!

@ Linuxinside
I'm using Comtrend 536 Router, (bcm6348 CPU, 6348GW-11 board)
With your patches of
* bcm963xx-flash.c
* bcm_tag.h
and your script
* brcmImage.pl
executed as:
$ ./brcmImage.pl -t -p -k vmlinux.lzma.cfe -r root.squashfs -c 6348 -b 96348GW-11 -i 1

it works like a charm!!!!

i see you have created a global partition named "Linux", i think this will be useful when it become implemented for upgrade/reflash router from Luci.

congratulations, good work!!!

@ bluegeek,
1.- I'm using a Comtrend 536 Router, (bcm6348 CPU, 6348GW-11 board).
2.- Linuxinside mods seems to work fine, i can send firmware via web page.
3.- If you put OpenWrt firmware, there is not yet implemented upgrade firmware from Luci ( openwrt web admin tool). When you must to reflash your router you need a serial port/console.
4.- I think Florian is working on Livebox routers (it uses reedboot, not CFE), at this moment i don't know  how to put OpenWRT, maybe via serial ?, JTAG? .... . Perhaps Florian can give some ligth.

Maybe you can use TFTP for upgrading to another firmware after installing OpenWrt. Have you tried?

It seems you can use TFTP for installing another firmware if you first patch the RedBoot loader [1] but I haven't tryed yet. Also I have compiled the last SVN OpenWrt for Livebox and it seems only builds the kernel not the firmware image.

[1] http://www.dbzoo.com/wiki/livebox/liveb … oot_loader
fcp -v redboot_blueg5.6-patched /dev/mtd0
(redboot patched form: http://darkfader.net/livebox)

@ bluegeek,
tftp already works.
Also if you create  platform.sh script in /lib/upgrade ,with this:
root@openwrt:/# cat /lib/upgrade/platform.sh
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART_NAME=Linux

platform_check_image() {
    [ "$ARGC" -gt 1 ] && return 1

    case "$(get_magic_word "$1")" in
        # 6348GW-11 boards
        3600) return 0;;
        *)
            echo "Invalid image type. Please use only apropiate files"
            return 1
        ;;
    esac
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and if you put "firmware" file, for example in /tmp , system command:
sysupgrade /tmp/firmware
also works.


about Livebox, i don't know. ???

I got both Livebox and BCM6348GW board, I have little time to test again LinuxInsides's modification but they should be fine now.

last mod, in ticket, from Linuxinside don't work for me.

Thanks for testing it. Can you add a dmesg to the ticket?

@ LinuxInside,
First of all thnx to you.
this is the log when i put firmware r 13034, with your last patches.

Are you sure you applied the patches?

I suspect you probably used an unpatched kernel?

Can you verify?

@ LinuxInside,
Sorry,
supose i made some mistake, you are rigth (in your patch nvram partition is disabled and there is a new Linux partition). I tried it another time, last time i tried it so fast...
It seems there is a problem with rootfs-data partition, it is not erased and it holds previous values.
Last version i made a pivot_root on a usb drive and after flash it with your patch it tried also do a pivot_root other time (you ca see it in log).
This is firmware update log:

Ok so this happens:
1. partitions are created fine, all nicely aligned.
2. Rootfs is correctly mounted.
3. Rootfs_data is created nicely.

Ok I am guessing here (so i may be wrong)...

First jffs2 looks to see if there's a mountable partition on rootfs_data, which it can't find because there's garbage of the previous install.

Then JFFS2 decides that it should probably create an empty partition and searches for 0xdeadc0de
tags which of course also don't exist.

The problem is we cant just add them to the image because the CFE checks the CRC of the image.

The best work around I see is to create the jffs2 image by hand on the rootfs_data partition, then after reboot you should be fine.

Thanks for testing! Can you try this?

i'm lost, how i must create jffs2 image?. I must erase mtd3 partition?

maybe in last log is not clear but after first reboot (reboot in log was typed from me), no more "jffs2_scan_eraseblock()" messages. Router seems to work fine, but whit previous /jffs partition.

The rootfs_data partition is created automatically from the free space between rootfs and the next partition, see target/linux/generic-2.6/patches-2.6.27/065-rootfs_split.patch

@ florian_
Free space for rootfs_data is that i have in my mind. I understand, from LinuxInside post, after flashed router i must do something with jffs partition. What?

By the other hand, partitions seems to be build fine, but rootfs_data not was erased.

@t3l3m4k0:

Good work!

So after the erase and the reboot, jffs2 cleaned the rootfs_data partition and started a new fresh partition? I hope I understand this correctly smile)


@florian:
Is it ok to include the patches now? Next thing I would like to work on is to add generic support for devices with bigger flash, so we can use the lower 4Meg on devices which support it. Hopefully solving the

Reducing visibility of 8192KiB chip to 4096KiB

Also I have noticed that wireless is not working. I have tried with a b43 card and with the ipw2100 card from an old laptop. But both hit GP failures while trying to initialize PCI. But this one is more complicated and may be a bit beyond my skills...
