    Dump nand content on working ac86u

    Could you open your device non-destructively? I have a BRT-AC828 and I want to attach an UART to its board, but so far I've only found 2 screws at the bottom back, but that doesn't seem to be enough to open the case. I realize it's a different device, but I guess Asus uses the same method across...

    BRT-AC828 Questions wrt firmware compilation and fixing OpenVPN issue

    I've now started to put things into git and I'm trying to figure out which folders (under `release/src/router`) I should 'import' and which I can just disregard. I created a log file by doing `make --debug=b brt-ac828 | tee -a brt-ac828-build-debug-basic.log` (`--debug=b = basic debugging). By...

    Is the RT-AC68U V4 HND?

    What does 'HND' stand for (and what it mean)?

    BRT-AC828 Questions wrt firmware compilation and fixing OpenVPN issue

    I did bring this exact point up recently in a thread on debian-arm ML: Feedback from the community -> ARM Asus may not decide it, but they should have some influence. Problem is that their incentives are (more) aligned with Qualcomm/Broadcom then with end users. Yep. The whole "planned...

    BRT-AC828 Questions wrt firmware compilation and fixing OpenVPN issue

    Cool, thanks. Asus uses uclibc, version 0.9.33.2 is used in openwrt-gcc463.arm I will do that. I don't mind a challenge. But the challenge I am/was after is making my router (more) secure and ready for the next 5-10 years (OpenSSL 3 issue wrt OpenVPN is a prime example). And the way I want to...

    BRT-AC828 Questions wrt firmware compilation and fixing OpenVPN issue

    Thanks so much for your insight :) I have to figure out what sources exactly are relevant for my router, but I've already identified 2 directories by which I'm quite likely affected: "router/libbcmcrypto/prebuilt.qca.ipq806x/" and "router/shared/prebuild/", whereby especially the former seems...

    BRT-AC828 Questions wrt firmware compilation and fixing OpenVPN issue

    I already had the wikidevi page bookmarked: https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/ASUS_BRT-AC828/M2 and it looks like that's where I got the FCC link from. And I'm guessing the FLA1 and FLA2 are the relevant ones. What I understand so far is that Qualcomm is (much?) better then Broadcom in that there's...

    BRT-AC828 Questions wrt firmware compilation and fixing OpenVPN issue

    Thanks, that's quite reassuring :) How can I find out what NAND chip my router is using? There are various photo's with the FCC submission. Would it mean inspecting those photo's to identify the chip(s) and then look that up? I plan to update the various programs to newer versions and I don't...

    BRT-AC828 Questions wrt firmware compilation and fixing OpenVPN issue

    Thanks. I was already looking at your repo's history/commits for possible clues wrt the OpenVPN issue and then saw the 6th commit about your versioning scheme, which I'll very likely adopt (too) :)

    BRT-AC828 Questions wrt firmware compilation and fixing OpenVPN issue

    I have a BRT-AC828 with Firmware version 3.0.0.4.382_70348 and like others I've run into the problem that recent versions of OpenVPN client (compiled with OpenSSL 3.x) fail to connect to the OpenVPN server in my router. admin@BRT-AC828:/tmp/home/root# openssl x509 -noout -text -in...
