The images(Gargoyle/or OpenWrt) are just Atheros231x images.

This version of Fon-Flash may or may not work on other routers.

Eric's build bricks BountifulWiFi 500/1000.

This is because these routers contain some non-standard version of Redboot. When Fon-Flash issues "fis init" it creates 2 files apimage.gz and apcfgfs.jffs2. Which leaves no free space and flashing fails.

My version deletes these two files and continues.

reported free space from Redboot is also wrong
which also causes flashing to fail....

// unsigned long flash_boundary_max = space_max;
unsigned long flash_boundary_max = space_max - 0x00010000;
