I have tried these bootloaders, but it doesn't work.
I will try to add support of my flash chip.
But I don't have wiggler cable for backup flash data.
And I don't know structure of flash chip.
Can I get this info with wiggler cable?

They can't worc because they are loaded from net, not from flash.

Flash look like this: <bootloader> <kernel> <rootfs> <FIS dir> <Redboot config> <Platform config>

You can make full backup using loaded from network linux kernel. To get contents of all flash you can make one bug flash partition (for all flash) from kernel command line.

People can you help me plz.

I have D-Link Access Point DWL-3200AP with bad flash memory.
I need to download bootloader from it.
After installing cygwin, jtag with openwince headers and running command detect i have this

jtag> cable WRIGGLER parallel 0x378
Unknown connection type: WRIGGLER
jtag> cable WIGGLER parallel 0x378

Processor of AP is Atheros AR2313A, flash chip is Atmel AT49BV322A.

How I can read/write flash with jtag and what address of bootloader starts with?

Hi!

I need help!

The problem is...

WARNING: No board configuration data found!

I had a 2100AP with same problem.
To solve it...

I have reflashed the 2100AP with the full flash (original bootloader and firmware)
You can find here:
http://xoomer.alice.it/ramponis/firmware/fullflash.rar

It takes al lot of time

Then i have resetted the mac-address, to do this:

- Connect with telnet to the 2100AP
- do the login
- type "alpha"
- and the password "sdd21234"
- type the command SET MAC ALL 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (you mac-address)
- reboot

Then:

- with jtag, reflash only the bootloader (redboot)
- fis init -f
- do the fconfig
- reload the openwrt

Hello!
I successfully install OpenWRT on 2100AP rev A3, using ramponis excellent manual (good what i have some knowledge in Latin)
ramponis, thank you for your work!

but,  firmware from http://xoomer.alice.it/ramponis/firmware/openwrt.rar work good, but, unfortunately, 8.09.1 firmware stopped on boot.

Hi doctor64,

I have the same problem with ver. 8.09.1

No problem with ver. 8.09
http://xoomer.alice.it/ramponis/firmwar … rt8.09.rar

Tested on a Rev A3 and A4

Thank you.
Sucessfully installed - but i can't manage bridge between lan and wifi.
I use default configuration (eth0 and wifi0 in bridge mode) but it not worked.
Interestly, wifi client can ping AP, AP can ping all wireline network, but AP can't ping wifi client.

Same problem with Kamikaze 7.06 (openwrt.rar from ramponis site).
;(

Latest trunk (r16540) boot successfully on DLink 2100AP.
Bridge still not working. ;(

I finally fix bridge issue in latest trunk (r16540).
just go to OpenWRT/trunk/build_dir/linux-atheros/madwifi-trunk-r3314/net80211
find if_athproto.h file
and change line
#define USE_HEADERLEN_RESV    1
to
/*#define USE_HEADERLEN_RESV    1*/
#undef USE_HEADERLEN_RESV

and build.
Of course, it require additional testing, now i go to bed

Good work doctor64

Hmm. Possibly, it's local hardware problem. i build latest trunk, upload it to different 2100AP and wireless works.
I think it's defective hardware.
Anyway, i exchange my unit to working one

Hello
i have debricked maybe dwl2100 A2 ap but there is anything wrong now started my router so.:

can anybody answer me what is wrong here?
I had soon 1000x reflashed via jtag apimg1... via http webinterface.... but nothing wlan not funct. When i click on the wireless tab on http interface its restarting.

Question.: is it able to repair via rs232 jtag "siemensdata cable"
Or what i need to repair it which hardware which program etc... i am very new on this thing i working since 2 days on it.

Please help me

(Last edited by damak on 11 Jul 2009, 09:32)

damak,
Did you flash firmware using jtag cable or via tftp?

hello at least anybody answer
first time my ap was always restarting about after 2-3 sec then i build a siemens data cable and via rs232 and http server on pc and with the art.elf i copied the APIMG1 cfg... to the ap and now starting the ap so.Now i have acces for the http interface i can make firmware update but the wvlan not funct.
I try today to build a parallel jtag cable my first try was the "very poor man" wiggler
/bc337 6-7 resistor/ but any of the progs can not detect then i tryed the "xilinx" /just 5 resistor/ the same without luck.Do i need the really wiggler cable with hc244...?

apropo is the symptome repairable via parallel Jtag?
I can not messed any voltage output on the pin 14  "3,3v" like wiggler buffered cable schematics.Is it bad?

(Last edited by damak on 12 Jul 2009, 22:12)

doctor64
i build the wiggler jtag like this.:http://ciclamab.altervista.org/JTAG_Circ.htm
but it seems my computer can not recognize any AR7 processor,I think i have hardware problem.I tryed  CiClAMab , debrick-mod,OCD without succes.Just a question is it able to reflash the bootloader via rs232 "siemens data cable" RX TX GND.?I tryed soon booting the redboot.elf ,openwrt.efl images but at the end its restaring therefore not working.I can just the art.ef Wxworks image booting with succes.Can i repair ,reflash it via this image?
Thanks

Hi! Thank you all for the excellent work, all works well. But I would like to use OpenWrt all available frequencies for the chip in the DWL-2100AP rev.A4. This turns out to do when installing countrycode = 511 but reduced to txpower 5dbm. Can ktoto knows how to fix it.

And as I understood komuto been added to REDBOOT support flash S29AL032D. If yes please'll show you how.

Alexander Russia Tyumen.
Thank you very much.

Hi All! At first I want to say that all of you made excellent work due to DWL-2100!
My goal is to build redbot with support S29AL032 flash and LZMA support (or to try to replace it to have some more space for MC, airckrack etc:) - have few 8 bit flash samples).
Now using eCos V3.0 on cygwin. Or the same on Ubuntu 8.04. Have Atheros SOC sources from posted here files ported to 3-th ecos. Building redbot using eCos Configuration Tool. On both platforms have the same errors during making redbot:

Other parts (except eth HAL compiled successfully).
Why i want to use for this purpose eCos 3.0 - even don't know:)
I haven't enough experience to modify C source code with that errors (seems to be that they appear because of compiler version where changed - some sources where fixed by me for new version computability).
If somebody could help with this error... We will have advanced redbot:)
Thanks in advance!

Can somebody please post a working compiled version of 8.09.1 or 8.09.2RC? (any newer trunk version would be )
My AP (DWL-7100AP) is very similar to DWL-2100AP, and I get the same error when trying to install the firmware from http://xoomer.alice.it/ramponis/ site:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

The 7.09 files do work though. The original 8.09 release has a bug preventing my specific board to run it, but 8.09.1 should work.

I tried compiling myself, but I am ashamed to say that I couldn't even get the compiler dependencies for my Mandriva 2009.

Thank you very much

Problems with compile errors are solved (GCC version incompatable). Now adding flash chip S29AL032 and LZMA support.

Please post your compiled redboot.
I will do a backup on my 2100AP web space
I think it is usefull for the comunity

Thanks

ramponis, of course I will! Have no time to finish that version. Now it have some issures with size & ethernet support.

A bit of free time - and we have a Redboot with LZMA & S29AL032D support (only this flash chip).
