Serial Pinouts and WDS

Thu, 15 Apr 2010 07:41:20 +0000

Hello,

Could you post some pictures of your serial pinouts 'cos i'm very interrested to test if it's possible to bypass the "init" and give /bin/bash" at the kernel by the bootloader. I would be happy to set up the wds with freeradius on bbox and develop some others features.

Good Job !
Thanks

WDS and wifi 802.11.n

Wed, 14 Apr 2010 12:12:00 +0000

@Robin

To have those features, I would need to compile kernel modules for the box, and there are no kernel sources available from Belgacom. I am gonna write them a letter now.

Hello, do you have success to compile a new firmware non proprietary for belgacom b-box2? I'm interested because I want to do WDS and wifi 802.11.n with my bbox2.

Thanks

Title: Hacking the Belgacom Box 2
Abstract: The Belgacom Box 2 is one of the most popular box in
Belgium, which is used by the main internet service provider Belgacom.
It is one of the first router with a VDSL2 interface, VoIP and an
atheros card. It runs Linux by default (OpenRG), but no sources are
available. This talk will provide technical details on how to add
additional software to the device via cross-compilation with the
OpenWRT framework, JTAG access, bootloader replacement and experience
with a widespread GPL violation.

Thx from a Bbox2 user.

Closed source drivers for VDSL I presume

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 11:17:27 +0000

As far as I know, there are no open source drivers for the VDSL2 module.

But for the Wifi, the Atheros chipset is well supported by Linux, ethernet I have no idea, but probably yes.

I am trying to solder a JTAG, and I will request the complete sources to Belgacom soon.

drivers?

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:00:21 +0000

does this provide the drivers for the components (VDSL, ethernet, wifi) ?
