Hi,
I'm new to OpenWrt, I have a Rosewill RNX-N150RT, and I'd like to know a bit more before I break out the soldering iron:
1) Since this board is effectively a TL-WR741ND, can I add USB to it like in the instructions here: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl- … b.host.mod
2) I don't know if I have room to solder there, so what's a good way to remove the heatsink from the CPU? It feels like it's glued on and I don't want to rip the chip off the board trying to twist it off.
3) Can I replace the S25FL032P SPI flash chip with a pin compatible 64/128/256mbit one to increase storage space? (I know I'd need to copy the chip contents over with an EPROM burner, but would anything else need to be done software-wise?)
4) If I do the SD card mod, does it matter which GPIOs I use? Can I use all LEDs, or will data out from the card need to go to something already used as an input (a switch)?
5) Is there much point in doing a RAM upgrade or is 32MB already a decent amount to work with?
6) Are there any other usable interfaces on the AR7240 CPU that OpenWRT can get at? (SPI, I2C etc)
Thanks!
