Hi all,

I got the DIR-615 D5 today and it doesn't seem to be supported. I've pulled it apart to get as much info as possible and I've pasted it below.

System-On-Chip: Ralink RT3352F
Flash-Chip: ESMT F25l32PA
Flash size: 4 MiB
RAM-Chip: ESMT M14D2561616A
RAM size: 32 MiB (4M x 4 x 16bit)

The device seems to have a serial port which I'll try and hook up later, not 100% on how at the moment but I aim to find out.

I've put some hi-res photos up here http://imageshack.us/g/545/img20120703125059.jpg/

Hopefully its similar to another revision and we can get something working on it.

Thanks

Thanks for those images, they were useful.

I have one of these with a failed installation of DD-WRT that appeared to be stuck in some kind of reboot loop. I found the serial port and examining the TX pin showed some data so I connected up the serial port at 57600bps to my laptop via a MAX232 converter and it is running the U-BOOT boot loader. I can see DD-WRT attempts to boot at loading kernel... but never makes it and reboots again.

It's possible to break out of the boot process and load another image via tftp or http so all is not lost. I'll put it on one side in the hope some firmware turns up.

Just subscribing to this thread as I'm running a D5 version as my primary (stock firmware) and a D2 version in wireless bridge mode on build 15778.

Would like to have the D5 running on dd-wrt firmware also though.

Hello,
I notice when googling that this troublesome D5 has the same chipset as the H1/H2 (RT3352F).

Would I brick the D5 if I'd try to install the H1/H2 firmware onto it?

Is there really noone here that can reply to these questions about the D5 revision?
Seems like only users affected by the problem manage to find it and now I am one too.
Yesterday I bought a D-LINK DIR-615 in order to set up DD-WRT on it.
So I tried the same firmware file as is specified for all other D versions (1-2-3-4) and it truly bricked the router into a loop where it blinks the power lamp at a slow rate.

Emergency flash would be an option to at least bring it back to operational state, except it seems impossible to find the D-Link stock firmware for this version of the DIR-615.

Can someone please, please direct us to where the original D-Link f/w for this revision can be downloaded?

Then this Emergency Flashing HOWTO page could be used to restore to factory state....
