Hi Shadyman,

With common mode choke coil should be better, "CMCCs help improve skews and reduce electromagnetic noise", see http://www.epsondevice.com/webapp/docs_ … d=ID001683, page 8, and here http://www.murata.com/products/article/pdf/ta09b1.pdf.

About the overcurrent protection, for the 5V USB power supply I've used a dc-dc converter from a Car Cigarette Powered 1000mA USB Adapter Charger similar to http://www.dealextreme.com/p/mini-car-c … -12v-48925. These have integrated overcurrent protection (at 1000 mA indeed, but I like it)

About the 8M flash, I think it would be easier to use one 8M or 16M flash chip just because it has already been done and is well documented, see here https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=156473. Your idea is good, in essence it is adding an additional logical SPI interface, the drawback is I think it will require a kernel hack, and it takes a lot of time. I've thought also for adding an SD flash card (4GB, 8GB, 16GB...) on such additional fast SPI interface, or better - in place of the original 4MB flash chip, but I had no time for implementing this idea. Who would need and USB interface then? Just joking, USB's good, you could always plug an USB fan or USB coffee warmer if you have'em

A dir615 cluster? MEGAZORD!!!

hi tuckata, do you have 8M flash u-boot for Dir-615 c1? if you have please share it.
thanks

No, I use firmware extension on extroot on an USB flash drive and it suits me. 8MB flash would be nice but I have much less time for playing with routers. Have you tried the instructions at https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=156473?

Hi all!
Anybody know how to compile latest trunk with USB support?
I find and open mach-dir-615-c1.c in /target/linux/ar71xx/files/arch/mips/ath79/ directory, but he doesn't look like a regressor manual...
And where i can find setup.c file to modify it?

Hi Mad, //

Atheros support has been included in the mainstream linux kernel for some time now and this changes the patching a bit. In /target/linux/ar71xx/files/arch/mips/ath79/mach-dir-615-c1.c you could add "ath79_register_usb();" to include usb support in kernel. But because the usb driver is now part of the kernel the PLL initialization can be modifed by adding a patch file. You could download a patch file for (full) USB support from here https://sites.google.com/site/tuckata/d … port.patch. It is against  trunk r30919 from 1 April 2012 and should work against the newest trunk. To work it is just placed in folder target/linux/ar71xx/patches-3.2/ but newer trunk uses kernel version 3.3 and the patch should just be placed in target/linux/ar71xx/patches-3.3/.

A ready compiled trunk r30919 for dir-615-c1 can be downloaded from here https://sites.google.com/site/tuckata/d … uashfs.zip.

Hope this helps.
tuckata

Thanks, tukata.
Your answer was very helpful. I viewed your patch file and all became clear.

Hi guys.

Can anybody fix the patch please since tuckata's patch not applicable for Attitude Adjustment (the structure of project changed significantly)?
The patch causes errors with Backfire (@33081) as well but it gives the information on what should be patched manually using patch code and description in wiki (DIR-615 USB mod).

new compile please! i follow guide but not success on barrier breaker

Hi,

New versions of the patch for Attitude Adjustment and Barrier Breaker can be found here:

for AA https://sites.google.com/site/tuckata/d … 6088.patch
for BB https://sites.google.com/site/tuckata/d … 2625.patch

tuckata

thanks! I follow this patch, I download new source AA, BB three times and compile but can not success.

Hi,

For Barrier Breaker:

1. Download source with

svn co -r 42625 svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/barrier_breaker

2. Download config file in the root of the source tree from https://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_b … xx_generic

and rename it to .config

mv config.ar71xx_generic .config

3. Download the patch from https://sites.google.com/site/tuckata/d … 2625.patch

and place it in folder target/linux/ar71xx/patches-3.10/

mv 777-usb-support-r42625.patch target/linux/ar71xx/patches-3.10/

4. In the root of source tree issue

make kernel_menuconfig

You should see that the patch applies smoothly and you could

Enable FPU emulation

5. In the root of source tree issue

make menuconfig

Make changes if you need (you may select only your rooter model for just not to compile all images)

6. In the root of source tree issue

make

and go for a drink (preferably Barrier Breaker)

7. Enjoy

Regards,

tuckata

Very clear guide.
Thank you very much! Best wish for you, tuckata!

Uboot 16M flash for DIR 615 C2 is here, i success up to 16MB flash
http://blog.dword1511.info/?p=4480

I find 1 free GPIO of DIR 615 C2. Testpoint 8 (TP8) is GPIO16.

Please give the finished collection firmware for DIR 615 C2 Barrier Breaker or newer with built-in support for USB core, usb2, ohci, storage, fs-ext4 (possibly without LuCL). I would be very grateful.

Hi, can anybody please explain how I make  USB for DIR 615 C1 (with all schemes etc). Thank You!

Hi,
I have three Trendnet TEW-632BRP routers. I am interested in adding USB port to those routers. I know that this has been done but I don't know where is this information. Do you think that the discussion here for DIR-615 C1/2 applies as it is also for 632BRP? On the wiki page it is said that the devices are virtually identical.
Kind regards

For those looking for a schematic perhaps this helps get close.
