Since Comtrend 5813 isn't supported, I have collected some info and added it to the wiki.

I guess a proper patch for board id 96369R-1231N has to be added in order to support it, but since I have little experience in linux developing I prefer that someone else shares some of his/her wisdom .

Greetings!

BTW, i will add some info here:
CFE board ID: 96369R-1231N
are you able access to the CFE web interface?: Yes
do you have access to the router via serial port?: Yes
memory flash-chip model: AM29DL800B

Original Firmware: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4708147/comtren … 01_R05.bin

Greetings.

Okay, I tried flashing openwrt adding basic support for 96369R-1231N, and here's what I get when cfe tries to load openwrt:

Booting from only image (0xb8010000) ...
Code Address: 0x80010000, Entry Address: 0x80010000
LZMA: Prossible old LZMA format, trying to decompress..
Decompression OK!
Entry at 0x80010000
Closing network.
Disabling Switch ports.
Flushing Receive Buffers...
0 buffers found.
Closing DMA Channels.
Starting program at 0x80010000

and then nothing happens...

Any ideas :$?

(BTW, of course I can restore original firmware, reflashing through cfe web interface).

Here are two CFE 6368 bootloaders extracted from Comtrend's GPL website. http://www.comtrend.com/gplcddl.htm

VR-3031u -> Bootloader v1.0.38-112.37-0

Both of them support the 96369R-1231N board.

Hi Noltari, I have been following your progresses with this router since they installed one of those at my house (which worked as hell). I have some knowledge on linux so if I can help please do ask me the only problem being that I won't be able to run anything on the router for some months.

Also seeing your progress with the broadcom chip I can't help but wonder if you have asked Movistar for the sources of the linux distro they seem to be running, because of GPLv2 they are required to provide them and they may provide a nice base to get the switch running properly.
