I'm back at work. Also note that the device boots into linux and serial does also work. The b43 driver currently crashes the device. I'm debugging this... Note that the kernel SSB currently doesn't have PMU support. So we currently depend on CFE correctly initializing the PMU. That may be related to some crashes and I should probably implement some PMU support... -- Greetings, Michael. ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org http://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel

No need to hurry. I just flashed some modified CFE that switches the LEDs in the early boot code to verify that my flash tools work properly, etc... So next one will be that I try my own compiled (probably modified) CFE. If that doesn't work, I'll try your CFE image from the original router. Next time I will make a backup copy before poking with flash. :D I usually do this. Just not with this device. :( In the long term I'm also interested in uboot on the device, as CFE just sucks balls. -- Greetings, Michael. ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org http://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel

You can read them with the mtd utility in linux. you'll have to wait until later today as i was just going out to get one later this morning. unless someone else can help you out more quickly. rday -- Robert P.

I just bricked it. Can you be so kind to give me images of your CFE and NVRAM partitions of a working v2 device? You can read them with the mtd utility in linux. -- Greetings, Michael. ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org http://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel

[OpenWrt-Devel] Resume work on Asus WL500g2 (LP-PHY)
I just want to note that I resumed work on the WL500gV2, which has a b43 based LP-PHY wireless device. I cannot make any guarantees or timelines, just that it's done when it's done. I'll first look into making the serial port work. -- Greetings, Michael. ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org http://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
