That would be awesome!

Wonder if brainslayer can adapt some of that code for dd-wrt lol!

Guess the custom firmware would work, but updating, would probably have to be turned off since it would expect the changed file structure.

I'm half wondering if they meant to include everything they did in that GPL download. The compiled versions of all their proprietary stuff (including the web UI) is included. Strangely the instructions for their Killer prioritization mention installation against the OpenWRT for WRT1900ACS. Very strange.

Probably not. I think some low level programmer was given the task of uploading the stuff.

I wonder of the 1900 isnt powerful enough for the prioritization?

Last question for you? Have you ever looked at the synology routers? Apparently they are arm processors too, you think their firmware could be modified to run on a 3200acm.

My 3200 acm has a faster processor than my nas lol

I managed to compile the firmware which simplified to whole crossflashing process. I was not able to make it directly flashable from WRT3200ACM so still everything needs to be done via serial console.

in U-boot console issue:
Code:
setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=armada-nand:2048K(uboot)ro,128K(u_env),256K(s_env),256K@8064K(devinfo),123m@9m(firmware1),123m@132m(firmware2)'
setenv priKernAddr 0x0900000
setenv altKernAddr 0x8400000
setenv altFwSize 0x7b00000
setenv priFwSize 0x7b00000
setenv nandboot 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock6;nand read $defaultLoadAddr $priKernAddr $priKernSize; bootz $defaultLoadAddr'
setenv altnandboot 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock8;nand read $defaultLoadAddr $altKernAddr $altKernSize; bootz $defaultLoadAddr'
save

Set PC's IP to 192.168.1.254 / 255.255.255.0 and serve provided rango.img via TFTP and after reboot you'll be running WRT32X firmware Smile
To flash served image issue in U-Boot:
Code:
run update_both_images

To boot type: boot and press enter Razz
rango.img to download: http://www108.zippyshare.com/v/lgm43Bri/file.html

To reverse the process:
Download and serve via TFTP any WRT3200ACM firmware file (only full factory images), be that LEDE, OpenWrt, oficial firmware and change the name to rango.img
And use this commands:
Code:
setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=armada-nand:2048K(uboot)ro,128K(u_env),256K(s_env),256K@8064K(devinfo),1920K@8320K(sysdiag),80m@10m(kernel),74m@16m(rootfs),80m@90m(alt_kernel),74m@96m(alt_rootfs),160m@10m(ubifs),-@170m(syscfg)'
setenv nandboot 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock6 ro rootdelay=1 rootfstype=jffs2 earlyprintk $mtdparts;nand read $defaultLoadAddr $priKernAddr $priKernSize; bootm $defaultLoadAddr'
setenv altnandboot 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock8 ro rootdelay=1 rootfstype=jffs2 earlyprintk $mtdparts;nand read $defaultLoadAddr $altKernAddr $altKernSize; bootm $defaultLoadAddr'
setenv priKernAddr 0x0a00000
setenv altKernAddr 0x5a00000
setenv altFwSize 0x5000000
setenv priFwSize 0x5000000
save
run update_both_images
boot

In theory, once this is done. Does this mean that 3200ACM cross flashed devices can natively flash Linksys provided OEM builds as they update for 32X?

yes, it will then accept any future oficial images provided by Linksys.

Great job @aprilthemoo for pioneering, and @inteliboy for spelling it out for the community. I see you posted in OpenWRT and LEDE.

I will be trying this later this weekend.

@inteliboy

If we install 32x firmware will we still be able to install dd-wrt on second partition. Or does bs need to make a dd-wrt with the new partition layout as well?

i'm confused. i went to the linksys wrt3200acm support and they still have the may version there for download.

so why mess around with these seemingly "unofficial" versions? are you guys doing unofficial beta for l-sys??

They are playing with getting wrt3200x firmware to run on their wrt3200 and being successful. Having fun.

I see no reason to force my wrt3200 to run wrt32x firmware, but I am not the experimenter some are. Some just do it to prove it can be done.

It’s multifactorial.

1) This isnt really a beta firmware. This is an official licensed firmware made for the 3200acm hardware, with killer prioritization for those of us who have killer ethernet cards wired to our 3200acm.

2) the gui is slightly more cool! It supports openvpn client not just server. The oem linksys 3200acm may support client now, but have been using dd-wrt since i bought it i dont know anymore.

3) it’s turns linkysys’ old flagship into it’s new flagship

4) and also, just to say it could be done...

I’m hoping kong and bs both look at some of their propriatary code, maybe some stuff can be pilfered, improved upon, and maybe incorporated into dd-wrt.

@Adamcarter You can't so far flash anything other than the WRT32X firmware as there are no other images for the WRT32X out there. You'll need to ask BrainSlayer to build an image for WRT32X which should not be a problem as all it takes is WRT32X dts file available in the GPL source. I only wish there was an easy instruction to compile DD-WRT on our own Razz
