You need the devel packages (the ones that provide the appropriate header files). Maybe this helps: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build … g.packages

i'm using wl-600g, now put on backfire 10.03
could someone help me fixing VLANs config? i realy need a WAN - ethernet.
I made some changes in /etc/config/network and now i can connection only using wireless. lan and wan not working.
here's my config:
config switch eth1
option vlan0 '0 1 2 5*'

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 worldFlash the resulting image and let us know. If you succeed, we can patch the file and "officially" support USR9108.
Right, I tried this on another Linux system, and finally got the dependencies sorted. Guess CentOS isn't too good to build this on... 
When doing the make clean, I was presented with a configuration screen. I changed the target to Brcm63xx. Is there anything else I should configure/change before compiling the firmware?
Another update, I've hacked the kernel a bit, duplicating the 96348GW-A board into a 96348GW-B board record. The resulting firmware (openwrt-bc300-squashfs-cfe.bin) now flashes & boots:

Hello all,
I have talked about the Netgear DG834GT's USB port before here.
Unfortunetelly the port is still not working. Someone else had been modded an another BCM6348 based router with USB port, and he wrote that, he had to pull up a pin to enable the USB port.
There is pinout to the BCM6348 here:
http://www.f-x.fr/wikini/wakka.php?wiki=Bcm6348PinOut
I have desoldered the CPU, and traced the USB related pins.
These have been arranged like this
USB0_PWRFLT AC13
USB0_PWRON AD13
USB_ACTIVE AE12 USB0_DP AE13 USB1_DN AE14
USB_RDY AF12 USB0_DN AF13 USB1_DP AF14Only the USB host port's D+, D- and the powerfault is wired out from the pads.
The powerfault seems to be output from the BGA, because I cannot measure any fixed voltage on it without the CPU.
The BGA pads, are not arranged as it shown in the ascii art, because it has a blank place in the center, but it does not matter. I have checked
several pads, and I should said that the pinout is correct. I have tracked a several GPIO pins too .
If anyone have an idea what pins should I trace, or measure let me know!
Thanks,
Miklós

Hi Guys
I've built the backfire image for a D-Link DSL2740B and downloaded the file to my PC. I'm trying to get it flashed onto the router without having to JTAG it. Has anybody managed to either flash via the standard web interface, or via the CFE web interface after holding down the reset button while powering on?
I need a way of flashing these devices without having to rip them apart :-)
Cheers, Paul
Hello guys
I have Netgear dg834gtb (it is the same as Netgear DG834gt but Annex B as I know).
I connected it via serial, but have no luck due to unredable CFE output (here is the thread)
I connected it via jtag, here is -probeonly:

bouvrie, try to configure switch first, like ramponis wrote earlier.
Also, seems like you have DHCP server on LAN iface, not a DHCP client. Though static IP should work.
I've got a CFE a few questions regarding a router that is closely related to the BCM6358 units already support.
I'm not sure what my next step should be... and this is where I stand. Will it need a new CFE, or is it a matter of just finding the correct values for the board and configure it?
The CFE is not a perfect fit, and it seems like it will either need a new CFE, or to have the current one (provided by florian) configured. Both JTAG and serial access are working. While the router has a BCM96359, it is an established fact that the 6358 and 6359 are essentially just full and lite (minus ADSL) versions.
I've JTAGged in the CFE that florian provided here (a 6358 cfe, but the 6359 is just a lite version of the 6358. The both the original bootloader and the kernel config of the original firmware list it as a 6358, anyway, also.}
When powered on I get this via serial console:

Here is a tarball of some recently released CFE's for the broadcom 63xx units.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1015928/hackystuff/cfe.zip
I haven't tested any of them yet, but they appear to be updates (slightly larger in size than the ones that florian posted earlier in the broadcom 63xx thread here ).
The four cfe's are taken from the gpl tarball for the ActionTec V1000H. This is the standard gpl tarball, and it is rather hefty : 123MB. Get the entire gpl tarball here, if you are interested. (search for V1000H on the page below)

Hi,
I got a little bit lost about the status of this port. Is WiFi currently working with Backfire? Is there any way to use the binary DSL driver from the original firmware?
NiQ:
1. WiFi works, though it depends on platform specific details. But AFAIK on 95% of Broadcom boards it works.
2. No, binary ADSL drivers dont work.
Come on guys, we NEED to get this ADSL working. Here in the UK, ADSL is pretty much the only way to get internet ( besides Virgin Media or BT Infinity ) and I need OpenWRT coupled with a nice ADSL router. Can't we just put the binary blob into the firmware like the neufbox project ( or take it from them ? ) for now and still work on a proper solution in the meantime ?
Thanks for all your efforts so far but let's not let this hope die, please !

The ifxmips and ar7 ports have opensourced ADSL drivers. How about using a device supported by them?

We can't because the binary blob isn't compatible with the kernel version used by Openwrt.
KM
So does that mean that we cannot make ADSL work unless we reverse engineer these drivers ? That will never happen in a reasonable amount of time IMHO.

Yes.
OK, so then time to move on guys, I guess.
I tried to compile the latest trunk to reflash my Davolink DV-2020 (same as the DV201AMR) and i couldn't manage to get it past the kernel booting.
The problem seems to be in the mtd maps.
I found this patch from LinuxInside: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/4433
But of course it doesn't work on the new kernel... So, i re-made the patch, it now applies to the latest trunk.
I'm pretty sure that there is a better way to make it work (and it probably break other builds), but for now is the only way to make it work on the Davolink router.
The patch is here: http://www.brokenbydesign.org/Davolink2.patch
Please have a look and test it :-)
Thanks a lot to all the people who made this possible!

ciaby,what are you using your router for if ADSL does not work ?
I'm just curious how useful the device is without ADSL working.

For now, i just want to use it as a AP. Even if the ADSL part doesn't work, it's still useful. 4 Ethernet ports, Wireless, maybe a usb host port ... (if i find the time to solder the connector and the pull up resistor)
Anyway, who is still using ADSL? Get a proper fiber 
Well like pretty much most of the UK. LOL
Ciaby,
Thanks for your patch. I have a few DV2020 laying arround, so I will give it a try any time soon.
Regarding USB. I got it working. Still have to properly document the needed changes.
Is this Davolink any good RomMon ?
