Hi

I have a Sitecom WL-341 and would like to know what was needed to run
OpenWRT on it.

It's Ralink based, with a RT3052F ASIC, has 4MB flash and 16MB ram
(upgradable to 32 or more, has space and components to accommodate
another TSOPII-54 (SDR?) SDRAM chip which pads are left not
populated), USB (only data lines as it misses the 5V voltage regulator
but I think it can be used with a powered USB hub) and a single
pushbutton labelled WPS.

Onboard components are:

CPU: Ralink RT3052F (covered by glued on heatsink) running at 384MHz
RAM: 1x EtronTech EM639165TS-6C 16MB, 1x free TSOPII-54 "slot"
FLASH: 1x Macronix MX29LV320 4MB on bottom side

4xLAN and 1xWAN 100Mbps

1 button only

Has a custom u-boot bootloader that is very buggy (TFTP reflash
doesn't work, flashes at 0x50000 and then tries to boot an image at
0x40000) but if the single button the unit has is pressed briefly
during boot the unit will use the same protocol as the Linksys NSLU2
that correctly flashes a complete image of the flash except for the
bootloader and the NVRAM
First 4 blocks of the flash contain the bootloader and nvram, last 64k
block is unuseable as it contains the eRcOmM signature required by the
bootloader (that starts the NSLU2-protocol reflash if it doesn't find
that signature) for a grand total of 3.7Mb available for kernel and
rootfs (but probably can be used with an external rootfs via USB)

A firmware image can be found here:

http://www.sitecom.com/download/4232/WL-341v3_v1012.img

The file is a ZIP with a 512byte header, can be unzipped to have the
complete firmware image (including bootloader) IP1006RRv2_16.bin that
can also be used to reflash via NSLU2-protocol.

The source code for the device is here:

http://www.sitecom.com/documents/WL-341_GPL.tgz

I didn't test it to see if it compiles to a working image or not though.

I can post pictures of the board and a bootlog taken via the serial
port if needed.

Thanks in advance :)
