Hi all, I just wanted to check that my understanding is correct before I attempt to install OpenWRT on my router. I posted on the forums but haven't had any responses but my posting may have been too complex for a response. The link to the original posting is here: http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=19709 The original text: I am new to OpenWRT and I wanted to ask a couple of questions before I go and brick my router. I have the following hardware and have found some of the specs to go along with it: Dlink DVA-G3340S Texas Instruments AR7 @ 150MHz Bootloader = ADAM2 ADSL2+ compliant modem with RJ45 port 4 port 10/100 lan switch USB port Wireless G 2 x VOIP RJ45 phone ports 1 x PSTN RJ45 phone port The hardware page (http://oldwiki.openwrt.org/Hardware(2f)DLink.html) lists status as WIP for this particular model (AR7) but I'm not sure if the info there is up to date or not. So if anyone can help with the following questions that would be much appreciated: If anyone knows whether OpenWRT will run on this system? But I'd imagine that not many (if any) have this particular hardware. So based on the hardware specs, is there a precompiled hardware image that should work with my system or will I need to compile one myself? If there is one available, which one do I pick? There are a bunch of files in this directory (http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8.09/ar7/) and I'm not sure if any of them would work with my hardware. Lastly I'd like to know if I can use the Manufacturer's Firmware upgrade utility to upgrade my hardware or if I need to do something different? I do have a friend who is a electronics engineer who has agreed to help me if I get into trouble or where things exceed my abilities but I said I would seek the collective knowledge of the community before we go ahead with anything. Any guidance would be much appreciated. If anyone could give me some feedback that would be much appreciated. Ross |
