is it possible to get this build in "SF" Serial flash firmware format

i have a Belkin_F5D7230-4_v2000
with 2mb and 128k CFE
but it requires special SF firmwares

or tell me how i can convert it to Serial flash, using firmware mod kit or??

Any help appreciated..

I don't know what you mean by serial flash, what needs to be done to work for you?

Do you mean your CFE is not compressed and my firmware won't fit?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have the belkin F5D7230-4 v2000
unlike most routers it has a serial flash chip
and the firmwares needs to be in in a different serial layout..
the CFE is already 128Kb

check
http://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Installation#Belkin_F5D7230-4_v2000_and_v2000de

and
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Micro-plus

you can see that it says "SF" next to the device and down under it specifies

Quote:

SF = Serial Flash. You must use special SF build of dd-wrt micro/micro-plus on units having 2MB serial flash.



dd-wrt.v24-12220_Bv2000_micro-plus.bin is made specifically for this router and works great!

not sure what needs to be done.
but i would love USB support on this router.

I will check your links and get back with you, it seems that I would need to build your firmware from source which I can't do right now because I don't have internet currently, other than this blackberry.

*edit*

I will try and build this for you, you simply want USB storage? PM me your email and I will email it to you when completed.

You may want to try fraters optware the right way now you have storage.

I'm a noob here, considering putting DD-WRT on my USR 5461. This idea intrigues me. Am I understanding this right that optware allows the router to use external storage, so would that mean some of the limitations of the micro version of the firmware might be overcome to allow more advanced features?

I guess the big limitation on this router would be the 8 Meg of RAM at that point.

Right, and the 8M/ram is not limiting with swap enabled. I boot the mega firmware from a flash drive and have a full blown php webserver going on it also....all on 8M/ram and 64M/swap. I have been using linux for 10 or more years, this is all nothing new to me....so your results may vary. The USR5461 is a workhorse, don't let its small size fool you. I can also tell you that things are quite a bit better on routers with 16M/ram or better, but most don't have that USB port that you paid for and haven't gotten to use. I stream movies to my 360 with this same router also, if your into that....once again, fraters optware takes care of that too, but you can install somewhere in the range of 800 applications from optware.

Keep in mind only my modded firmware supports USB.

Impressive.
All that and do you still use it as a router?

I'd be happy just to get DD-WRT running on my USR just for static DHCP and QOS, but this opens up some interesting possibilities...

I can, but I just use it as a client bridge to my 360. Flash Eko's newd(not newd2) micro plus from the Eko link in my signature and give it a go, you won't look back. Higher number are more current, I usually run his latest modded for USB but you should start with the regular ddwrt. Use the copy trick in the thread about flashing these units and flash from the webif of USR firmware, your new address of router will be @ 192.168.1.1 so take that into account...login with your browser , create a user name / password and then telnet into the router with: telnet 192.168.1.1 username=root (always) password=whatyousetinwebif and then issue the command: erase nvram then issue the command reboot, when the router comes back up login with browser again http://192.168.1.1 and set new user name / password and begin your configuration. Following those steps you shouldn't incur any issue.

Here is the link for how to flash the firmware from the webif of the firmware your running now(its the .usr file and the copy /b stuff) or you can just do the tftp method of holding reset till all lights light and tftp the firmware over.

Thanks for the instructions.

I took the plunge and used the copy /b and flashed from the web UI and I'm up and running. So far it looks great, though I'm only using the USR as an access point. I'll need to wait until I have more time to mess with settings before replacing my main router (I'm using an old Netgear WGR614 with the wireless turned off because it has some of the features the USR's default firmware lacks but it doesn't support WPA.)

I'll be back for the USB-enabled firmware when I have some time. The possibilities there are intriguing to ignore (it'll give me a new toy to play with for a while anyway).
