Post by: mamv on August 06, 2009, 10:13:15 AM

All we would need to stop all our problems is DD-WRT support:

But unfortunatelly the Ubicom processor is not currently supported.

I have already looked into this.

I tried to look at what was in the firmware (you can get to the flash image with 7zip). The flash image can be viewed through a plain text editor but I am sure there would be checksum's/crc's stored in the header to detect modifications in the payload. So I wasn't game enough to start tinkering yet. If my situation becomes more desperate, then I'll look into it a bit more. However, I haven't looked into whether or not a cross-compiler exists for this processor. I sure it must.
