D-Link DIR825 C1 Support

[rleishman]

Hi Gargoyle experts. This software looks amazing and I'm keen to use it.

I have a D-Link DIR825, but it's the C1 version, not the B1/B2 version that has enjoyed Gargoyle support for some time.

On the OpenWRT site, C1 is supported since Barrier Breaker, whereas B1 was supported since Attitude Adjustment.

Code: Select all

VER   SUPPORTED SINCE
A1    not supported	
B1    Kamikaze trunk	working with trunk as of r18621
B2    Kamikaze trunk	working with trunk as of r25121
B1/2  Attitude Adjustment 
C1    Barrier Breaker trunk r35403

Here in the Gargoyle forums, Eric has told us that v1.8.0 supports Barrier Breaker, and sure enough, there is a download for the DIR825 C1: gargoyle_1.8.0-ar71xx-generic-dir-825-c1-squashfs-factory.bin

So it looks good, right? What's my problem? The Gargoyle download page lists that firmware file (above) under the search for Atheros AR71XX. Now while the DIR825 B1 had the Atheros AR7161 CPU, the C1 uses the Atheros AR9344 (see below from OpenWRT)

Code: Select all

HW Rev  CPU                     Ram    Flash
B1/B2	Atheros AR7161@680MHz	64MB	8MB
C1	   Atheros AR9344@560MHz	128MB  16MB	

I just want to make sure: does Gargoyle 1.8.0 really support the DIR825 C1, and it was mistakenly filed under Atheros AR71XX? Or has there been some kind of typo and it will brick my router?

Its just the way its organised. It gets compiled as part of the ar71xx suite of routers so it gets placed in the same folder.
