Hello: i´ve tried to upgrade a DIR-300 with DD-WRT RC4, RC5 and RC6. The upgrade is OK, and i can boot in DD-WRT.

Version of Redboot is:

The modem boot without problems, but when it try to load vmlinux.bin.l7, inside script boot:

DD-WRT> fconfig

.. fis load -l vmlinux.bin.l7

there is no response ip address, neither 192.168.1.1 neither 192.168.20.81.

Before execution of script boot, the modem run ok over 192.168.1.1.

I´ve tried to load manually vmlinux.bin.l7, from DD-WRT line command, and this is ok. But nothing about DD-WRT appears.

hhmmm

I´ve reflashed the DIR-300, to test if any errors appears, but nothing....

These is i can see:

Could you help to us?

[Sash]

flashing sems to be ok so far......

but this

[genezi]

In this test i used RC6.2, the last .....But i´ve tested RC5 and RC4, and the same ocurred

and when i flashed all worked fine, whithout any error and problems.

[Sash]

the rc6.2 is not running on my whr-hp-ag108 so dont test it with this build.

also the new redboot loeder flashing was ok. only to get it clear.

would u plz do a complete reininstall (bootloader also) with the first release of ddwrt for this hardware (rc4 i think)

[genezi]

i´ve upgraded to rc4, and the only thing was changed, is:

The system boot, response to our new ip address (192.168.20.80), then run boot script and it don´t restart.....

But, neither 192.168.20.80 other ip address response to us......

The system, i think, is running dd-wrt, but i can´t connect to it.

Thanks in Advance.

[Sash]

do have access via serial console? if not get a serial ttl converter.

[genezi]

Hi:
I try this command: fconfig bootp false, but nothing change.

So, i have a rs232 to ttl transceiver now. Which contacts i have to use to connect TX and RX in the electronic DIR-300 board.?

Thanks...

Alberto

[Sash]

u can messure the gnd and power pin. for tx and rx u can check out the correct pin by pluging them. there will be no damage if u plug them wrong.

the serial settings will be: "i dont know the speed of the redboot u will have 2 test it but ddwrt will be 115200",8,n,1

Just for archive purposes, here is the info for RS232 on the DIR-300:
