Is WEP or WPA encryption not working in Ad-Hoc mode? The wireless config looks ok but iwconfig shows "Encryption key:off" and I can access the Wlan without password.
Is someone else using the Ad-Hoc mode with encryption?

Thomas

Hi
Has anyone ran OpenWrt on Linksys WAG325N or WAG320N ?

Yes on a WAG320N, but only once. as soon as the JFFS2 partition was created, it overwrote some 'magic' at 0xbe500000 (flash base is 0xbe000000), and now the bootloader refuses to load the kernel, or give me a prompt:

search magic... ...be500000
no magic got,start fail!
WARNING !!  -- LINUX CODE WAS DESTROIED!!
WARNING !!  -- LINUX CODE WAS DESTROIED!!
...

Recovery mode (hold reset while powering on) is broken, it says:

FLASH_BASE:0xbe000000
download 797 ,-7:cfe_open failed
fd:1download 802:fd=1
Download mode ... press any key to stop

and the device doesn't respond to a ping.

And there's no JTAG header (although that isn't going to stop me looking for signals).

That "seach magic" is plain evil.

Hi all.
I have a ZTE831BII with rta1025w board id. OpenWrt loads ok but after restart cfe reports: "Image information not found"
The same case as megalomania's. Disabling the firsboot script in compilling solves the cfe's report but configuration not saves.
Seems like in creating filesystem the kernel is overriten /broken/ and after reboot device doesn't start. The same problem with jffs2 images.
I tried with cfe from huawei hg520 but couldn't load openwrt.
I tried with another flash chip/now its amic 29lv320 not mx29lv320/ -same.
The original firmware from dynalink works ok and saves changes in configuraton. I have serial and jtag connected to device and can
fully support in solving this problem.
There is an issue with enabling switch too.
By default wireless is down but working great as enabled.
I'll post dmesg tommorow and bootlog from dynalink,s firmware.
My idea is from this moddem to make a lan router if can enable switch to configure.
Will be great if getting help in this.
Regards.

P.S. something else:

bcm963xx_flash: Partition 0 is CFE offset 0 and length 0
bcm963xx_flash: Partition 1 is kernel offset 10100 and length 0
bcm963xx_flash: Partition 2 is rootfs offset f0000 and length 0
bcm963xx_flash: Partition 3 is nvram offset 3f0000 and length 0
bcm963xx_flash: Partition 4 is linux offset 10000 and length 0

Somebody knows why shows me length 0?

By the way, is the switch working?
Can you please tell me briefly the location and pin-out of the serial port (GND/TX/RX) ?

Thanks

from: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic. … 3a0ce8c335

the CPU is BCM6359 not is BCM6358.
Not sure the BCM6359 is same as BCM6358 , or not.
I got one document says BCM6359 is lite BCM6358 version.

Not to wear this out, but I can't find the place where I saw the difference explained. It was an "incremental" difference-like 16MB ram instead of 32MB or a revision of CPU speed (lower of course) to save $.50 in cost.

the information got from Jtag.
because the jtag app not BCM6359 in database, then shows BCM6358 instead of real BCM6359.

8M flash and 32M RAM with an USB port. (150Mhz CPU ? is not a nice one Sad).
But the bootloader does not provide "stop" and "tftp".
we have to figure out how to rebuild a bootlorder to get dd-wrt to it.
I built a serial console get it;

Still no information for BCM6359.
it is either 150Mhz or 300Mhz

guess u will have to wait and see..

BCM6359 is not listed on https://dev.openwrt.org/wiki/brcm63xx , so I would say it's probably still unsupported

24 Feb 2010, 22:24

Geekgirl:

the 6358 and 6349 are the same chip with a different label and marketing purpose.

If there is a build that works on the 6358 it would work on the 6359.

For USR9108: openwrt-96348GW-A-squashfs-bc300-cfe.bin via web or cfe works fine!

I've got a USR9108 and tried to flash said firmware.

First off, the web interface didn't allow the firmware (it told me it was incompatible). So I tried the tftp approach and while the firmware was uploaded, I now seem to have a semi-bricked router.

When resetting it with the RESET button, doing a ping -t -w 2 192.168.1.1 will have a proper ping response for like 3 seconds, after which it'll produce 'Request timed out' again. Unfortunately, this window seems too short for me to upload another firmware to re-flash the device.

I tried using the Firmware Upgrade Utility 3.6.1 from DrayTek, which should send the firmware the second the device comes online. However, the router either fails to see a firmware being uploaded or the transfer is taking too long, as it just continues startup (during which the devices is rendered un-pingable and unresponsive).

The power LED stays on (doesn't flash) and the Internet LED is turned on as well. As there's no Internet connection available, I can assume it's OpenWrt DMZ LED indicating OpenWrt has started.

However, I'm Stuck now. I've got no clue what state the router is in as I can't connect to it by IP (aside from that 2 second interval apparently).
Would anyone be able to help me out? I'm thinking having something like a mini-firmware that will TFTP over quickly could work, which when booted would only put the router into TFTP mode to receive another firmware.

@bouvrie
You should connect to your router serial console to see what's not working during boot...
Here you can find the pinout: http://blog.dvl.pl/article/2009/09/14/u … l-console/
You'll need a level shifter (from 3.3V to 12V) or you won't be able to hook it at your PC serial connector.
If your PC has no serial ports, or you can't find LV-TTL to standard RS232 voltage shifter, you can build yourself one using different kinds of USB nokia cable. The latest howto i found about nokia-cables hacking is: http://jethomson.wordpress.com/2010/02/ … -for-3usd/

Good luck!

I'm looking into getting another firmware in place, possibly using the flashimage command.
I installed a TFTP server (WinAgents TFTP Server) and I served the bin that should put the router back to the original firmware:

     eg. flashimage [hostip:]compressed_image_file_name

And that one just hangs there. But at least now I'm getting somewhere. :)

Now I need to figure out which firmware bin should be compatible with the USR9108. Apparently the one I used (openwrt-96348GW-A-squashfs-bc300-cfe.bin) wasn't.

I guess it's my Board Id Name : 96348GW-B that's causing this?

*edit*

I found this page. Although the openwrt-96348GW-A-squashfs-bc300-cfe.bin I got is from here, which as far as I can tell is a very recent (28 feb 2010) trunk binary?

@bouvrie

You could try to patch the Makefile (target/linux/brcm63xx/image/Makefile) to add your board (96348GW-B) as a target, build your openwrt-96348GW-B-squashfs-bc300-cfe.bin and flash with it should be able to detect your board

See previous posts for example on how this is done. You could also adapt from the pre-existing 96348GW-A target

1 Mar 2010, 20:05

@bouvrie

Board named 96348GW-A are already supported. Maybe you own a particular revision of that model.

Try to add these lines:

        # USR9108
        $(call Image/Build/CFE,$(1),96348GW-B,6348,bc300,,bc300)

before the end of the function "define Image/Build" in your target/linux/brcm63xx/image/Makefile then:
make clean
make world

Flash the resulting image and let us know. If you succeed, we can patch the file and "officially" support USR9108.

Too bad I'm a Windows user.

I checked out the SVN from the repository at svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/ , modified the makefile and tried to make it using GnuWin32. To do so I needed to subst the SVN checkout dir to a new drive, so the makefile's unset variables (like TOPDIR, etc) would resolve to that drive's root.
I then got the following result:

W:\target\linux\brcm63xx\image>"C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\make.exe" clean

/target/linux//Makefile:13: warning: overriding commands for target `prereq'

The syntax of the command is incorrect.

So much for the Windows approach, right? Or would something like Cygwin help?

Very very bad!
I think you'll never be able to compile OpenWrt under Windows. If you have enough space on your hdd, repartition and install Ubuntu on dual boot.
Or, install a virtualization software (see virtualbox) and run Ubuntu ontop of Windows...

I would like to know if watchdog support is finished for bcm63xx platform.

I would also like to know if there is some bcm63xx based router that can work on an extended temperature range , e.g.: -20c +60c.

Thanks in advance for any help!

so what i must to do....? im trying to flash with openwrt-RTA1025W_16-jffs2-128k-btrta-cfe.bin, openwrt-RTA1025W_16-jffs2-64k-btrta-cfe.bin, openwrt-RTA1025W_16-squashfs-btrta-cfe.bin and others for BCM6348 but i cannot have success yet....

i have this message from web interface: Update Firmware

Image uploading failed. The selected file contains wrong digital signature.

(from rta files this....)

what i must to do....?

Hi guys, is it possible nowdays to make one of the LAN ports on the BCM6348 devices (In my case Netgear DG834GT) into a WAN port? (I asked this long ago but see now there has been some real development)
Reason I want to do so is because my friend that owns this router first had ADSL2+ but has now upgraded to a 100/100 fibre connection, he is currently using a Linksys WRT54GL however that is limited to ca 50mbps throughput in either direction
So he is just hoping to be able to get some more speed out of the DG834GT if it where possible to use it

use VLAN, check WIKI for details.

Hi all.
Can someone help with information why openwrt can not create correct
filesystem on dynalink rta1025_16. It loads and overwrites the firmware-after restart device is in cfe mode and waiting firmware to load.Serial console says: Image information not found.
Thanks in advance.
