Hi. Can something be done with this model ? CPU is a IXP420BB, there's 2 X Nanya NT5SV8M16DS-6K (8MB, i think..) and a 4MB Macronix 29LV320CBTC-90G flash chip. The mini-pci network adapter is a Atheros based card, the chip says AR5416-AC1E on it.
Is there anything to do with that unit ? Out of the box, the firmware is really bad.
I attached a picture of it. It seems to have jtag on board, i can remove the flash and read it offboard if it can help in any way. Thanks for any ideas, cheebster.
I understand this router i have is similar to some other routers, having the same board.
I see :
Board view, component side:
[ ] [RX ] [ ] [ ] [TX ] <
[GND] [GND] [Vcc] [Vcc]
So that's the 9 pin header on the board. Do i connect all the VCC from the circuit i've built together, and to one of the 2 VCC points on board, i dont need any external VCC source ?
I'm even unsure which is which on the circuit i've built. T2IN = TX and R1OUT = RX ?
To your earlier question Sash, it says the router runs UBOOT as a bootloader. Thanks, cheebster
Looks like actual info to me. What can cause such problems ? If any one has a clue for me. I think my board is properly wired. I use a non-null cable to pc, a standard serial one.
