The D-link DIR-825 has 8MB of flash ROM but it uses an odd flash layout which results only some of that space being useable. The wireless calibration data partition sits in the middle on the flash memory layout. Currently, the Gargoyle images for the DIR-825 are 4MB even though it's an 8MB device.
According to the DIR-825 openwrt wiki http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/d-link/dir-825, Attitude Adjustment Beta 2 adds support for -fat images, which move the wireless calibration data partition to the end of the memory map, thus allowing the DIR-825 to support fat(8MB) images.
I'd like to request that Gargoyle add fat images so that DIR-825 and other users may have full featured 8MB images available for use.
The sysupgrade script that appears to do the work is here https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/t ... ?rev=33540 but I imagine just adding fat images to the build process will add this into the sysupgrade image.
Thanks.

Re: Add support for fat images
Any chance any of you devs can modify the build process to build FAT images for this and other routers so that we can use full 8MB images?
Thanks.
Thanks.
