Get the original GPL source package for this device, there you will find some information about the CPU bug. One of the reasons we use --fno-delayed-branch for compiling stuff is, that otherwise there are some strange instabilities on these old devices. > 2) I'm not sure which UART chip I'd have to use.

It uses this chip here: http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/tl16c550c.html (tl16c550cn) bye Waldemar -- don't open your wrt, free it http://www.freewrt.org _______________________________________________ freewrt-users mailing list [email protected] https://www.freewrt.org/lists/listinfo/freewrt-users
