I get a 1M flash model wgr614v6 and I almost give up. I find it will listen on http://192.168.1.2/vxWorks when booting. This is encouraging and I have a server on with static address 24/7. Therefore, I setup a tftp server on it and try to boot the wgr614v6 from it. Right now, there is no luck. Basically, I want to know

1. Can I put a dd-wrt-v24_micro.bin as vxWorks.bin to the tftp folder make it work?
2. If so, how can I also load the nvram.bin (configuration) when booting?

Thanks!

I've tried what you suggest on my 2MB WGR614v6: the file gets downloaded and the router boots as usual.

If someone knows what's the format of the VxWorks file, we could maybe just convert the dd-wrt_mini or any small image.

Any idea how to convert a flat image into a VxWorks image?

The discussion might have continued from here.
