Ah, I saw the 260- board detection patch but I didn't know that diag.c did it's own board detection, thanks. > boardnum=G33779F3NR -> unique > > I suppose the boardnum nvram variable makes the most sense. (or a > combination of boardrev and boardtype) I thought that at first too, but it matches the serial number printed on the casing (along with the wifi/lan MAC IDs and such), so I'm thinking it's unit-specific. At the moment I'm just checking boardtype and boardrev, and will probably add a check for the presence of boardnum even if I can't use the value itself for detection. > Don't forget to save board_data or other important partitions before you > flash :D I just saved an image of the whole flash (0x1c000000-0x1d000000) with the CFE's 'save' command. I've been working under the assumption that if worst comes to worst I can just use JTAG to flash that back on (since I've worked out the JTAG pinouts and have a slow-but-workable Bus Pirate with OpenOCD support), is there anything else I'd need? _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
