The SMC Barricade N uses Ralink hardware, has a 4MB flash chip, and 4MB RAM. IThe Barricade is not listed on the supported devices, but honestly, I bought it for $20, and it can't do bridge functions like I thought which makes it less than useless for me, so I kind of just want to attempt to flash it and install, with the full understanding that it might brick it. Where can I download the generic Ralink installation?

I did. That's why I know it's Ralink with 4MB Flash and 4MB Ram.

I didn't realize I needed to detail the chips to you, all the info I've read about installations only mention the chipset brand and flash size. But thanks for the helpful reply.

There is no generic Ralink version of dd-wrt that you easily can load on the router at this time.
Support for it may appear in the future if someone donates a router to Brainslayer or if some daring user manages to modify a current Ralink build to run on it.

I, too, would like dd-wrt for this router.

Is anyone currently working on a build?

[LOM]

I have one of these now and it can run dd-wrt but there is no simple way of of getting dd-wrt on the router.
The stock firmware seems to have a check for the linux kernel size and does not accept updates to dd-wrt via the gui.

It is possible though to load the Senao ESR-9752 dd-wrt build with the help of tftp and a serial console connection.

It is a nice little piece of router, very well built.
The only disadvantage I can see and which it shares with other Ralink based routers is the small amount of free ram, 3.5MB with wifi disabled and around 1MB when enabling wifi.

[helpmeroute]

[LOM]

I can't help you with the serial pinout since I've not got the router here but from what I remember the 5 pins where +3.3V , tx (or rx), rx (or tx), gnd, and unused.
Baudrate was 115200, N, 8, 1 in the bootloader and dd-wrt initializes the port to 57600 later when the firmware is running.

I have saved the log from the flashing session, using ESR-9752 firmware.img from dd-wrt and renamed to test.bin.
