Re: New firmware out for Actiontec GT701-WG
I dont know how -in depth- my knowledge is, I certainly wouldnt consider myself an expert.
I am a linux user, and the GT701 runs uClinux. So once you log into the modem via telnet, the base commands and directory structure are very familiar.
The shell in the GT701 runs a stripped down version of BusyBox for command line commands.
# help
Built-in commands:
-------------------
. : bg break builtin cd chdir continue eval exec exit export
false fc fg hash help jobs kill local pwd read readonly return
set setvar shift times trap true type ulimit umask unset wait And some additional commands in the binary directory that also point back to BusyBox, but dont appear in the 'help'
# ls bin
ash chown df kill mount pwd tar
busybox cp echo ln mv rm touch
cat curl false login pidof sh true
chgrp date grep ls ping sleep umount
chmod dd hostname mkdir ps sync
The rest has been alot of digging around inside various directories with alot of "Aha, thats how they do it!" moments. 
I dont have any clue as to how I would go about compiling new code to stick into the modem, though I have seen a few web pages that explain how flash them with custom firmware. |
