hoi Paul,
I have nog worked with the box you mentioned nor did I check its
OpenWRT support.
When I was looking for a VDSL capable device, also in the
Netherlands, I used the telfort modem ZyXEL P-2812HNU-Fx. Want to
mention this device as an alternative.
Flashing this device sounds a lot more simple, as it just requires
shorting two solder points and uploading ASCII data over the serial
port. Required PIN can be generated online (don't have URL around
ATM) as well as with the tool mentioned on the toh page.
What works for me on my ZyXEL P-2812HNU-F1 is VDSL, WiFi and wired.
USB seems to work but I did not stress that yet. Did not test the
POTS hardware as I do not use it. Device is running Scapi's build of
Chaos Calmer r45578.
These devices are also shipped for free in NL and probably have
similar availability, bought mine via Marktplaats.
Thanks for your help!
Can you tell me more about the device, what does work and what does not
for you, or is untested?
VDSL, WiFi and wired networking works.
USB seems to work. Only tested a device being detected.
Do you use annex A or annex B (=ISDN)?
I have an P-2812HNU-F1 which AFAIK is an annex A device.
the P-2812HNU-F3 is an annex B device.
See also <http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/zyxel/p2812hnu-f1> and
<http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/zyxel/p2812hnu-f3>
There is also a lot of information in the forum
<https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=53511>
Do you need closed-source drivers?
Yes.
I expect you will need to load closed source firmware blobs.
If yes, for what devices?
VDSL and Wireless require firmware blobs.
With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.

Hello,
I am new to OpenWrt and I would like to flash a Astoria networks
VGV7519, aka KPN Experia Box v8, aka Arcadyan VGV7519 VRX288.
Seems to be supported...
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/arcadyan/vgv7519
But I don't see it in de list with supported hardware:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start
It's not completely clear to me what works and what does not work.
And if it's all with free drivers. And if closed firmware is
needed.
I like the device, because it can do very much. It even has a
supported DSL modem when I understand it well.
This hardware is here in the Netherlands very cheap available,
because it is given away to customers for internet access by some
ISP's. When somebody wants such a device, maybe I can help.
When I understand it wel, I have to solder a 14-pins JTAG header on
the device and use a cable to a parallel port. And then use
something like UrJTAG to flash the device. Never done something
like that.
I don't understand which parallel port pin I have to connect with
what EJTAG PIN.
Has somebody here experience with an USB-to-parallel port cable?
Does that work? (my computer does not have a parallel port)
When I understand it well, the "OEM easy installation" is not
useable because the PIN is unknown. But it could be brute-forced
using the given SHA1 hash. I've tried all PIN's from 1-6 digits
(made the sha1 hash out of it, and compared it with the given
hash). But no luck. Maybe I will try more digits.
It's not clear to me if the "UART method" is working, it would be
much easier I think.
Do I need a RS232-to-TTL cable, or is this only for the UART
method? And if yes, is an USB serial to TTL cable an idea?

Or is it an idea to use another device to connect? I have an
Arduino and an RPi2 here.
With regards, Paul van der Vlis.
