I can't give you the direct answer since I have never failed to flash it, but here are some figures for the squashfs+jffs2 case to complete each step. I hope you might find them useful.
0. uboot initialization : less than 10 sec
1. tftp transfer : few sec
2. flash block erase : 8 sec
3. flash write : 40 sec
4. boot process : 45 sec
(diag goes off here, you can telnet into the device, but file system is still readonly)
5. jffs2 block erase : 100 sec
(total =~ 200 ~ 210 sec)
I'm pretty sure that the transfer has completed. It only took 7 seconds(13M). I tried native win 7 tftp and pumpkin. Both same. I confirmed from the logs and the packet capture I did during tftp transfer.
But how to measure the 2-5 steps? I'm in dark on whats happening after that.
I did saw the patch request. Since I too excited to give a try I did it. I thought I'll have some basic functionality at least while waiting
But now I can't even bring it up after flashing the original buffalo firmware. Only thing is now this 30-30-30 reset is how important it is and if my sequence is perfect to meet the requirements.
