How to change SPI (soft) 4mb on 8mb (16mb) ?

Post by wadimk »

I modernize WR841 in MR3420 on CPU AR9341.RAM 64mb and SPI 8mb (winbond 25q64vf) replaced.Gargoyle (gargoyle 1.9.0 - ar71xx - generic - tl - mr3420 - v2 - squashfs - factory.bin) set.Router works, but memory does not determine correctly 8mb (only 4 Mb).I want to set plugin.I receive message there is not "enough memory".How to decide this problem?PS: ID ic W25Q64VF (EF 40 17 h) , W25Q128VF (EF 40 18 h).

I think that you will need to build your own Gargoyle image to suit your router if you have modified it by adding memory.

See section "Building from Source"
https://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/do ... umentation
Can you help someone else get Gargoyle up and running?

If you have replaced the ROM chip, you need to make corresponding adjustment to the router configurations when you build the ROM, i.e. code changes.

PM me if you need to buy Gargoyle router in Australia/NZ, willing to pay me to help you on your Gargoyle configurations or build custom configured ROM with pre-installed app or try to fix your bricked router. Yes, I am looking for job/work.

I am specialized in a change and repair of electronics.I can work out and collect a pre-production model.And in programming I understand very poorly.I do not present, how many compiling of file occupies to time.Chinese "breed-ar9341" recognizes a type and size SPI automatically.Such function maybe it to realize?If yes, then did not you could to me herein to help?

Sorry but I don't know what you are trying to say.

The change you need to do is very small. Please read relevant wiki on Openwrt, e.g. https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/flash.layout
https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/devel/add.new.platform

I think he's saying that he can use a soldering iron but doesn't know his way around a programming environment. And would like step by step instructions for how to modify the flash layout tables and then compile that into a new firmware.

Which is really the kind of thing that should be asked at openwrt.org if he cannot glean the information from the Wikis you linked.

Yes.I do not know how " to collect" (to compile) SquashFS - factory.bin.Who does can that to do it? If not difficult.

Wouldn't life be boring if we all spoke JavaScript!

Perhaps one of our Polish friends can help?
