Topic: TOPIC For the BCM6345 BCM 6348 based Device Support

The content of this topic has been archived on 25 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

hi all,

I have an hitachi's modem router based on a broadcom chip who is BCM6348,
I can't see any support of this in openwrt, freifunk ....
Many  ISP use this chip on their modem-router and the firmware is opensource

the T-COM Speedport W 500V (clone of the hitachi AH4021), freebox (FR), fritzbox, livebox (FR) Siemens Adsl SL2-141-I  .... have opensource firmware

They have many feature : an USB port (master or slave), 2 VOIP port, a braodcom minipci card (bcm 4318), 2 ethernet port.

If you havethe hardware with that chip, say it in that Topic
Excuse my poor english, i hope, i was clear.

If you Have a device based on bcm6345 Bcm6348
Please say it here

Hello,

my ISP gave me for free a BCM6348 based router, a Comtrend CT-536+

It could be very nice if OpenWRT supports it in the future, I don't have money for buying another router at this moment.

Best regards,
timofonic

Edit:

I found sourcecode for the firmware of my router (CT-536+): http://www.comtrend.com/gplcddl.htm

Here is a dead project related to this:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/brcm6345-linux/

Here is the datasheet, but is only two pages:
http://www.datasheetcatalog.com/datashe … 6348.shtml
http://www.broadcom.com/collateral/pb/6348-PB01-R.pdf

Something I don't know what is for:
http://akusho.maidlab.jp/bcm6348/broadc … m6348.bsdl

Here is a firmware that seems to support the BCM6348 chip:

Refer to my Wiki Article regarding the SpeedPort W500V

Hello everyone!

I'm also owning a BCM6348 based router (Siemens SL2-141-I).
I've searched through google, but couldn't find any related information to this router nor support for OpenWRT.

Someone else got this device or maybe got a similar one working with OpenWRT?


Thanks in advance.

I haven't talked with the devs on the subject in a while, but as of several months ago the outlook for the BCM63xx platform wasn't too good.  While the devices run linux-based stock firmware, three binary-based drivers are required to make the platform functional; wireless, DSL, and ethernet!  The devs expressed much disappointment with this and didn't want to invest much time into such a closed platform.  At that time they had openwrt booting on several devices but not doing much more than that.

I've seen sporadic commits since then pertaining to bcm63xx but I think most of them are extremely minor.  Unless someone steps up and hacks the binary drivers I don't expect to see progress until source for the Broadcom drivers is released in a device tarball (or someone develops free drivers.

Bad news then :-(

The main problem I've got with my device is the following (a little bit OT, sorry for that):

I'm getting SNMP data from the device from another server to plot some nice graphs with rrdtool.
Works great.
Problem: My ISP disconnects me every 24 hours and I've to dial in again.
The router itself does that automatically, but I can't fetch the SNMP data after the disconnect before resetting the security settings inside the config by pushing "save" on the web-interface.
I really hoped that someone could help me with this problem.
I believe the problem is that the pppoe device is killed after 24hours and the router starts a new process for dialing in again without binding the security setting to that "new" device I've made before.

You could poke around with a serial console and see if the reason is apparent.  If you were so inclined you could extract a firmware image, make the needed additions/changes, pack the image back up and flash it to your router, but that can be an extremely difficult process for someone who isn't used to working with embedded firmware images.

I'm kinda firm with unix/linux systems, but never worked with embedded systems like that router before.

Maybe you could point me in the right direction where I can find additional informations.

hello i had too a comtrend 536 and load yet the asus wl600gw_fw_1028a nb8 firm and the siems sl2141i  all works fine less siemens who had the firm copiled for anex B if anyones had one firm for this one for anex A i can test it, the hitachi load but had some bug make it dont load full and stoped on usb check
soo i need swich to another via serial port i also checked the usr 91107 firm and it works fine too whitout wifi

here is the nb8 seria output and asus output the asus is not fulll since telnet like too mixed the log bad soo is the best i can get in 1h of work hope it works gettin a open firm for our bcm 6348 routers
nb8 firm

So you got OpenWRT working on a Siemens SL2-141-I?
Where can I get the firmware?

No i can load others firms based on bcm 6348 gpl code on my comtrend soo seems they shared the code it's seems
now we need to start sharing pcb chips info soo we can see if there a generic pcb on all whit  small only diferences like voz-ip cards  <-- this one i dnot remeber how it suposed to spell or wifi 108 mbts card like usr 91108 works but had problems whit save and  load configs whit the mini pci in whit out it works and save configs.

PD:I implemt the jtag and haryman debric but the CFE seems only can read and write random code when i tryed to load a generic CFE or
full image it stop in 3 line seems the firm need to have  mac embled on it or any stuf i was misning it tryed all swiching comand like /nodma or /whachdog off

darkdead, if you have the means to debrick the comtrend, you can dowload a snapshot of kamikaze svn and build it for the 6348 (you have to edit target/linux/brcm63xx-2.6/config/default to activate CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK and use V=99 to see the prompt and confirm an option during the build).
I'm pretty sure it will brick your router, but since you have a jtag cable it shouldn't be a big problem.

How do you select BCM63xx in menuconfig? Do you apply a patch?

I don't remember now, sorry. I do remember that I had to update make to the version required by openwrt ("3.81 or later").

Does someone know how to compile for bcm63xx. And if it is possible, I suppose the broadcom drivers must be used?

btw, is there sb trying to make open drivers for 63xx chip?

My ISP installs a locked down Comtrend 536+ modem and won't allow the subscribers any access to it through http.   The DSL shut down the other day because my modem was fried by a power surge, so I grabbed a spare Cayman 3346 out of my service van and plugged it up but couldn't get on.  When I called the ISP to ask for verification of the VCI/VPI/Encap and related settings they were outraged that I wanted the info!  No matter how I tried to explain to them that this is not privileged information and has nothing to do with their company secrets they wouldn't budge and I had to wait for the tech to come out with another modem.  He also was smug about keeping the login and settings private and during his visit I found out they won't even activate the other 3 ethernet ports without a charge!

Being a little outdone with their attitude and not wanting to be in the same situation the next time the modem dies and I have a system down 400 miles away that I could fix in 5 minutes using ssh I set out to get the info from the modem somehow.   I discovered you can login to http as user/user and see device info and the log, and you can login to telnet the same way.  In telnet you can also get a dumpcfg which yields the entire configuration, including the passords but they are encrypted.  I'd like to flash the modem or at least factory reset it but I don't want to lose the config including the passwords just in case.  Is there any way to decrypt the passwords in the dump output?

Also can someone tell me what the cable and settings are for the console port so I can access the shell?  Thanks in advice for any suggestions.

I don't know a way to decrypt the passwords, but it shouldn't be very hard since the same file is used to restore configuration to the router.
OTOH if you know the ppp username and password (providing your isp is using pppoa or pppoe), you can gather the rest from the configuration file and use the reset button (I think it has to be pressed for at least 10 seconds) to restore it to the factory configuration (admin/admin or 1234/1234 or 12345/12345). HOWEVER if your isp is so paranoid, it's possible that they have a custom firmware with a different password, so it's not a risk-free operation.
About the serial port parameters, mine doesn't have one (it's possible to add it) but it should be possible to trick the command interpreter to access it from telnet, i.e. I do an

>sysinfo && sh

and that gives me access to the shell

thanks for the tip on getting shell from telnet.  I'll try it tonight.  They told me Friday that my ISP Password is indeed what I selected so maybe they aren't that paranoid, but there is a possibility, which is why I was trying to get the Cayman 3346 to work before I reset the Comtrend.  Although having the dump file theoretically I can reload the config from it if needed and it should work again.  It really bugs me why the Netopia won't work with either 8/35 or 0/35, LLC and PAP which all show up in the Comtrend config.  The only difference I saw was my login is usr.domain.name instead of user@domain.name, but that also didn't fix the cayman.

They must be using custom firmware on this model because sysinfo isn't found.  Or more likely the path variable isn't valid and the user/user login can't access anything but the basic commands.  I'm amazed I can get the dumpcfg.  Still trying to find a way to decode the passwords in the dump.

sysinfo was just an example, you could try, e.g. ping or whatever command that spawns a shell (commands that are directly executed by the command intepreter won't work), followed by "&& sh", e.g.

ping 127.0.0.1 && sh

Note that the bundled busybox has just the basic commands compiled in (no ls, use the echo * trick).

Edit: " ; " instead of " && " works too, and while the latter needs the command to succeed the former doesn't, so it's probably better.

good tips!  using ping or arp or other valid commands in the telnet and ; sh I did get into the shell and can poke around a bit using the echo * trick.  Seem to get only a few commands and it kicks back to the telnet console but at least I can do some more research on it.  I have a console cable now as well, but I have to figure out the settngs.  I plugged it up and played around in hyperterminal a bit but couldn't get anything readable yet.  Funny thing was I left it connected overnight and the next morning the adsl was offline and cycling the power didn't reset it.  I finally thought to unplug the console cable and it came back to life.

Are there any hopes for my Comtrend 536+ or better wait for complete support to the AR7 platform? I see OpenWRT now can boot under CM63XX family as basic level.
