Hi!

Pieter  Voorthuijsen  did  some  work  to  support  Netgear  DGN3500  in
OpenWRT. I would like to try a  bit but the wiki page for this device is
a bit scarce:

  http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/netgear/dgn3500b

Could someone  explain how the serial  port is wired? I  have found this
photo:

  
https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/104120246985218478488/albums/5689759450555999777/5689760038213664194

Is it accurate? If someone can confirm, I will update the wiki with this
information.

Now, about  flashing, the wiki only  says how to boot  from tftp. Cannot
the  image be flashed  through uboot?  I have  also found  the following
thread that explain an alternative (but untested?) method:
  http://patchwork.midlink.org/patch/2174/

Are there some  other interesting bits on this matter?  Can I just flash
the image from uboot?

Thanks!
Hi,
the photo isn't really correct, the correct pinout is
GND TX 3,3V RX

You can't flash anything at the moment, as I know.
You can choose tar.gz target and untar in an ext3 usb stick and in uboot load the kernel from tftp and boot rootfs from usb. Spi driver need to be improved in order to use the flash safely,I had several data corruptions on a jffs2 partition test
