This one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833168086

I just got it and while I found out EnGenius is Senao. I've only seen so many models listed. This one seems a bit newer. I think it would work but is there a documentation I should use specifically or anything? Or can I just use the guides on this section of the forum?

Hey!

EnGenius ESR1221N

The FCC test report lists the Sitecom WL-340 v2 003

http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices#Sitecom

WL340 v2 U2M-SR97908005 Ralink RT3050@320 16 4 1 b/g/n - 1 ? 4 LAN 1 WAN 12V/1A ESR9753 ODM donated router needed

So I use that method? I would guess it is compatible! Just lead me the way to the formware I can use!

I picked one yesterday. It comes with older firmware and will not upgrade to any firmware listed on Engenius or Sitecom web pages.

ESR1221N2 is equivalent to WL-341v.2-003
Firmware is combination of Apps.sqsh+uImage+header. I downloaded their GPL firmware and looked at firmware script that creates the final image.

Code:
./header.x86 -s uImage -d firmare.dlf -a -t kernel -z -c appsESR1221N_1221N2.sqsh -b 4096


-s source file (/ISD2/MIPS32/linux-2.6.30/images)
-d destination file
-a auto set parameter
-t type (bootloader,kernel,kernelapp,app etc.)
-z zero padding
-c use cat command to combine files
-b flash sector size

I will post more when Serial to TTL cable arrives.

I couldn't figure out if header.x86 can really decode .dlf files or not based on the switches from the help output.
It does, but leaves 192 bytes behind.

Code:
./header.x86 -s ESR1221N_1221N2-V1-1-0-58.dlf -d ESR1221TEST -a


hexdump -C -n 16 ESR1221TEST
00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 01 00 00 00 23 31 32 33 00 |...........#123.|


After stripping 192 bytes I can see correct signature 63 72 36 63 cr6c for uImage
Code:
dd if=ESR1221TEST of=ESR1221 bs=1 skip=192


hexdump -C -n 16 ESR1221
00000000 63 72 36 63 80 50 00 00 00 00 e0 00 00 0f 8c 02 |cr6c.P..........|

Somehow in the process I soft-bricked the router. It still works but emergency mode is very limited and will not work with official firmware images.
Hardware is ver.1.0.0 with following specifications:

MX25L3206E - 4MB flash
RTL8196C
RTL8192CE
A3V56S40FTP-G6 32MB RAM

Serial port pins

RX
TX
Connected using only 3 and my initial output looked like this:

I tried sn2450 as a password. It didn't work. After hitting 1 on boot router presented me with different output:

Now the bricked router presents me only with emergency mode:

Router only proceeds with flashing if valid file is received. Web interface accepts only .dlf files, TFTP image needs dlf decoded with header.x86 and first 192 bytes stripped.

I've managed to create working environment to compile somehow valid images. They are accepted by the router but still not work.
I've adapted Zyxel GPL installation guide (opensource.zyxel.com/NBG-417N/NBG417N_GPL%20Installation%20Guide_Final.txt) to my needs:

Download GPL release from engenius
http://www.engeniustech.com/resources/GPL_RELEASE_ESR1221N2.tar.gz
Perform following steps as a root (sudo su)

1. Uncompress GPL package and install ISD in root directory
Step 1: tar -zxvf GPL_RELEASE_ESR1221N2.tar.gz
Step 2: cd GPL_RELEASE/
Step 3: mv ISD2 /

2. Install toolchains in opt directory
Step 1: cd /ISD2/toolchains/
Step 2: tar -zxvf rsdk-1.3.6-4181-EB-2.6.30-0.9.30-2011-0518.tar.gz
Step 3: mv rsdk-1.3.6-4181-EB-2.6.30-0.9.30 /opt
Step 4: export PATH=/opt/rsdk-1.3.6-4181-EB-2.6.30-0.9.30/bin:$PATH

3. Copy target ramdisk directory in root directory
Step 1: cp /ISD2/TARGET_RAMDISK / -R

4. Generate firmwares
Step 1:mkdir /tftpboot
Step 2: cd /ISD2/scripts/
Step 3: make -f Makefile.IMG
(Note: firmwares are generated in /tftpboot directory)


Note: User may build kernel or desired open source library respectively and install
the objects into TARGET_RAMDISK directory. Followings are examples for building up kernel
image and busybox library object respectively.

For example: Build up kernel image
Step 1: mkdir /tftpboot
Step 2: cd /ISD2/MIPS32/linux-2.6.30/
Step 3: make -f Makefile.ISD clean all
Step 4: make -f Makefile.ISD install

For example: Build up busybox library
Step 1: cd /ISD2/MIPS32_KNLAPPS/busybox-1.7.x/
Step 2: make -f Makefile.ISD clean all
Step 3: make -f Makefile.ISD install

Little step forward
I've got password for the serial console login by doing strings on /ISD2/TARGET_RAMDISK/MIPS32_STAGE/sbin/config_term

password for Senao/Engenius ESR1221N2 is: lin17

I also modified kernel config sources /ISD2/configs/kernel_def_config from 0xE000 to 0x18000

# this offset MUST between 0x10000~0x40000.
#
CONFIG_RTL_LINUX_IMAGE_OFFSET=0x18000


recompiled the firmware and this allowed me to boot the router with some errors


<Senao Networks>.............................................................................................................
#web upload success!

Linux kernel (root-fs) upgrade.
checksum Ok !
Copy all, burn Addr =0x18000! srcAddr=0x80500000 len =0x1dd03e
.............................................................................................................................
Write Successed!

reboot.......

Success Very Happy

My router as identified on the label is ESR1221N2(4M_32M) must be pre-release of ESR150H / ESR300H

In my search I downloaded and tried several images for RTL8196C routers. Headers look very similar

63 72 36 63 Senao ESR1221N
63 72 36 64 Edimax BR-6258n
63 72 36 65 Edimax BR-6228nS_nC
63 72 37 30 Edimax BR-6428n
63 72 36 62 Trendnet TEW-652BRPv2
63 72 36 63 Trendnet TEW-652BRPv3

One of the links for ESR1221N informed me that product has been discontinued and replaced by ESR150H. Firmware was much larger and header looked very promising

00000000 63 72 36 63 80 50 00 00 00 01 80 00 00 11 04 02 |cr6c.P..........|
00000010 53 4e 45 47 00 00 00 01 00 01 80 00 80 50 00 00 |SNEG.........P..|

Indeed, firmware v1.3.1.4 loaded correctly. Serial console password changed to sn2450 with that version
Then, I used web interface to upgrade to v1.3.8.27. Console password changed again to lin17

Booting...

I might consider of doing full flash dump now.
