Hello,

Ovislink AirLive release new router WL-1600GL for opensource. It's based on Broadcom BCM5354KFBG 240MHz.
Jtag is present on board J2 [VCC] (TX) (RX) (GND).

I know that, they preparing second similar board with USB for Opensource.

I make many builds OpenWRT from trunk and sad nothing work. On Jtag I get similar log like that:

Any idea what to do? or what prepare in trunk for build?

if it runs Tomato, that's a big clue it's compatible with the WRT54GL and you can just try a build for that... ?

Hmm.. nothink... on any build console log out

#VFS: Cannot open root device "mtdblock2" or 1f:02                               
#Please append a correct "root=" boot option                                     
#Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 1f:02                             
# <0>Rebooting in 3 seconds..

For now tested:

Own and new build form trunk and upload by TFTP:
- openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx (Unable to mount root fs)
- openwrt-brcm47xx-squashfs.trx (booting is freezing at loading....)

And by Tomato http firmware upgrade:
- openwrt-wrt54g-squashfs.bin

On sunday i will get new cable for Jtag, then i put log hier and from airlive firmware.

Is there any progress to port openwrt to this device? I have this device and I'm glad to see the possibility to run openwrt on it. So, I can help to somebody with porting if it's needed.

Patches: (made by ArteQ from openlinksys.info, the openwrt guru, we should be gratefull for all job he's done to make this router work)

Download them here => KLIK <=

How TO : (just copy them to this locations and build openwrt 8.09 from svn)

sflash.c                   => 8.09/target/linux/brcm-2.4/files/arch/mips/bcm947xx
120-add-wl1600gl-support-hackish.patch   => 8.09/target/linux/brcm-2.4/patches

After flashing of .trx file router works, all you have to do is to set proper VLAN for this device. It should look like this (/etc/config/network).

config 'switch' 'eth0'
        option 'vlan0' '0 1 2 3 5*'
        option 'vlan1' '4 5'
......

Current status:
Almost everything works, (instead of gpio LED's Power, Connected and WPS) however, installing big packages (such gargoyle web gui) may brick kamikaze ( so flashing with tftp is the only way to recover it). It's better to add them in make menuconfig and build as included in image file. I have manage to add theese patches to gargoyle trunk, and the firmware compiled just fine.

If anybody wants to test kamikaze for this device, here is the image.

Sorry for this, but I've got only with gui (gargoyle) because I've lost the fresh version (with no gui), and if Ifind it I'll post it if you want.

REMEMBER TO SET VLAN !!

If you don't like gargoyle just compile your own firmware with patches above, it's just simple as that. Patches work with trunk and 8.09. After fresh install of 8.09 it gives you about 1,6MB free space to install your own packages.
