Reading through this topic while waiting on some sweet tea at 1am, seems like it may relate to this thread hardware-wise. They're bridging pads to get the serial working. It may be a longshot, but it may be worth reading if all else fails.
I want more sweet tea X_X
Hi,
I have committed preliminary support for the WRT160NL based on vincentfox's bootlog. I have no such board, but this may help you to test OpenWrt on this device.
Regards,
Gabor
lol. better fix your mmc-over-gpio driver.....
Aha! Success on serial console! No bridging of pads needed!

/ #Used a CA-42 clone cable (not Nokia) I had gotten off EBay.
When I opened the PCB end by the way it had DKU-5-B on it
so evidently just what I needed. I clipped the cable short and
used Nokia pins 6-7-8 in this way:
DKU-5-B pin# WRT160NL pin#
2-white(RX/D+?) 2 (TX)
4-blue (TX/D-?) 3 (RX)
6-black (GND) 5 (GND)I think I have that correct now. Anyhow it works!
Guess the long FTDI cable induces some loss that this
router is particularly sensitive to. Many thanks to
THALIENCE for pointing out this possibility this really
was quite frustrating.

Just got this router. It's in the mail. I was looking at the internal pics from the FCC site.
1. It looks like they aren't using the connection for antenna 2? Can you just solder on another one, making it into a 3 antenna router? If it doesn't come alive automatically, is this something you can enable by mucking around?
2. Can you tear apart an older linksys with RP-TNC connectors and switch out the RP-SMA connectors? Based on the FCC pics, it looks like this would take all of 5 minutes, taking less time than ordering adapters.
Probably throw OpenWrt on it as soon as I get it! Thanks!

The FCC photo are terrible. I will do some photo tomorrow of the board. I have no idea about #1 but #2 seems quite easy except the case is thin so RP-TNC might look a little oversized if that matters to you. I don't think you'd be able to anchor the RP-TNC bulkheads so they'd be floating. This might not matter in a WISP application where the PCB is stripped and put in an enclosure but would in end-user household.
Darnet vincentfox, you are one step ahead of me. I just got done compiling the source, and got the same slew of files. I have been roaming the forums and have found nothing...yet.
I am an AP81 n00b, all my experience is in Broadcom.
I tried the obvious thing of build latest Kamikaze trunk & attempt to upload firmware using Linksys web UI and that failed with all 3 squashfs *.bin that were created. In web UI it just tells you firmware upgrade failed. Error appearing on serial console was:
Upgrading
upgrade_ver[v114.55.49] upgrade_ver[1145549] intel_ver[0] 4712_ver[0]
code pattern error!

There are no suitable firmware images yet, I would need a full flash dump for analisys.
I suppose I need to TFTP from the uboot command-line or something?
You can try an initramfs image without flashing. In menuconfig select the 'ramdisk' image under 'Target Images'. Then try the 'openwrt-ar71xx-uImage-gzip.bin' from U-Boot with the followig commands:
setenv serverip 192.168.1.254; setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
setenv bootargs 'board=WRT160NL'; tftpboot 0x81000000 openwrt-ar71xx-uImage-gzip.bin; bootmSomething I forgot to post earlier, an nvram dump:

Yes the tftpboot of ramdisk image boots. Didn't bring up network. Here's the dmesg output:
...
Mount-cache hash table entries: 512

MIPS: machine is Generic AR71xx boardThe kernel did not detect the board. Seems like that the U-Boot does not pass the bootargs variable to the kernel, or you forgot the setenv bootargs 'board=WRT160NL' command.
Thanks juhosg. I will try again. Do you have suggestion anything I should make sure I have in menuconfig to support the switch?
Here's exactly what I ran again to test:
setenv serverip 10.70.1.14; setenv ipaddr 10.70.1.99
setenv bootargs 'board=WRT160NL'; tftpboot 0x81000000 openwrt-ar71xx-uImage-gzip.bin; bootmAnd the result was still:

The RTL8306SD switch is not supported yet. Additionally, i don't know how it is connected to the two ethernet MACs.

Strange. Did you try a fresh checkout? Or at least did you run 'make target/linux/clean'?
Here it is fully compiled from a fresh checkout, to save time remaking it, if you weren't already using a fresh one.
http://control.hyperionservers.com/bin.zip
Try it and let me know. I'm currently on the same boat you were on with the serial. My Max232 adapter isn't allowing input to the router. I dug through my junk bin and found nothing useful... I think i'll just order one tonight.
I did use a fresh-ish checkout, see my quoted output above showed r16903.
I did not do "make target/linux/clean" just did a make. I'll put both awesomo
and a new image of my own on TFTP server tonight and try again.
In menuconfig I am selecting:
Target System (Atheros AR71xx/AR913x [2.6])
Target Profile (Ather WiFi (madwifi)
Target Images (ramdisk)
Wireless Drivers (kmod-ath9k)
Didn't add anything else that seems important.
I did select gpioctl so maybe tonight I can try
to map out the GPIO information.
Thanks!

In this case, the kernel in your build_dir does not contain the required changes probably.

Ok.
I don't know enough about this stuff to find what part of the compile process throws in what I call "the signature" I guess it's a header file in the bin that tells the router it is ok. The cross compiler, from how I understand it, It creates a build environment based on the processor type (mips?) so you can build you apps for that instead of being native for your system. My expert noob analysis.
Way way WAY back there in days hanging on Linksysinfo forums, hacking on my then-new WRTSL54GS I picked apart a BIN file. I learned how to break it apart to get to the squashfs segment so I could mount that on my Linux desktop and poke through since at the time I had no knowledge how to do serial console. Anyhow yes the header has a simple signature used to be first 4 bytes something like W54U. Look at hexdump -C filename.bin. Here's where I started to read from at the time:
http://www.seattlewireless.net/index.cg … hacknight.
The Linksys WRT160NL firmware has "NL16" at the front so you'd need to have it generate that at minimum I guess.
Prior to replicating I had much more time to devote to this hobby, so this work will go slowly for me hope you can run with it.

I have that post bookmarked. I didn't spend time reading all of it yet, but because you also recommend it, I think i'll give it all a go.
That was an interesting read. It's a bit over my head, but I'm always open to expanding my knowledge. I'll continue to pursue it. I ordered that DKU-5 Cable, it'll be here next Thursday if I'm lucky. Let me know if you get a chance to try those images.
I finally got my baby and opened her up. I soldered on another antenna, but that didn't work. I'll keep it on in the hopes that after I get the console running on this thing, I might fiddle it into life. By the way, the soldering job on the original antennas is absolute garbage. My older linksys units had far better workmanship.
Don't pull to hard on those connectors then. I know linksys loves to cut corners. As I'm reading more into this stuff, i'm loving the products from Ubiquity (on paper, I will probably buy a few different models soon for "testing"). Still need a router to hand out on residential installs though, so far the only ones with my trust are the wrt54gl and buffalo whr-hp-g54. I need an affordable draft N model to trust darnet. As long as this doesn't crash, and runs nicely, i'm golden.
I get apparent WRT160NL recognition now, but no root prompt.
It just stops at the end think it doesn't like GPIO code.
