this board is an arcaydian design. we managed to boot openwrt on it last night. pci, net, gpi,led, button, wdt,... are working.
voipd and dsl are still missing. for the bootloader.... you need to use u-boot. the u-boot source is in trunk. we have not tried to boot it yet on the device, but are using a binary we managed to get our hands on. i hope that i will have the time this week to test our own u-boot on the device. I would suggest, that you do not try it yet, as recovering a broken bootloader, requires sodering some stuff on the pcb. which country / telco distributed the device ? blogic Luca Olivetti wrote: > [hadn't muck luck with this in the forum or in openwrt-users, I hope > this isn't too much noise for this list] > > Hello, I have this router (labelled smc7908-isp) supplied by my isp for > double play (adsl+voip). > It is based on the infineon danube, the wifi chip is an atheros 2417, > the switch is a realtek RTL8306SD, it has 4MB of flash (EON EN29LV320B) > and 64MB of ram (PSC A3S12D40ETP). > It also has two fxs ports (analog interface provided by 2 SLIC DX PEF 4268). > All in all it seems similar to the reference design, the only apparent > difference being the switch. > > Another problem is that this router doesn't currently run linux and the > bootloader is the brn bootloader (no u-boot or redboot), but I more or > less know the format of the image (though I'm not sure how can I > shoehorn openwrt into it, probably trying something similar to > http://ar7-firmware.berlios.de/openwrt/patches.html.en, however that > page seems to be very old and I cannot tell if the patch to hardcode the > startup address is still needed and/or how to make a similar one for > ifxmips) > > I connected a serial port to the unit and the brn bootloader has an > option to upload something to the ram and run it (I cannot afford to > brick it, so ATM this is the only option I have). > > Do you think the ifxmips should work in spite of the different switch? > What kind of image should I try to directly upload to ram and run? > (uImage, vmlinux, vmlinux.elf, none of the above? or maybe try to > compile u-boot to run from ram, upload it and use it to boot with tftp?) > And what's the status of ifxmips?
