Maybe we can finally get a stable firmware for this device.
Get your source code here, »ftp://ftp.dlink.se/Products/di-product···urce.tgz |

1 edit | LOL, D-link finally gave up? Or do they simply expect us to fix it on top of giving "good" tech-support within the forum?
No, but seriously, for which hardware version does it apply?

LimeFrog
@wm.net | Correction, the source code package was the same for all revisions A, B, C, D2 and H. |

So does anyone have a cross-compiler? What the heck kind of CPU arch does this thing run anyway? |

Anyone know if they will release the DI-624+ source as well? Or, what's the difference between them. Maybe I could fix the problem with UPnP getting hosed when probed too often.
See ya...

Extracts to a folder 260MB big full of lots of useless files 
Why not give us the source code without all the crap it will take months for me to work through it. |

| A stock di-624 is running a variant of the ThreadX real-time os (see rtos.com). The link above points to a linux-kernel based os.
Something doesn't add up. Is D-Link providing an alternative firmware based on linux now?  |

USA | I hope this results in some cool 3rd party firmware for the DI-624! |

Having the option to use 3rd party for all the D-Link routers would sure be great! I dearly hope this is a D-Link trend and not just an accidental disclosure. |

The DI-624 has 8MB RAM, and only 1MB flash memory! It's more crippled than the WRT54G v5-7 which at least has 2MB flash.

Yeap it only has 1MB flash... openwrt will never fit in that. Only something minimal and uclinux based could ever fit...
I wonder what the heck is that released source-code in this thread.... I tried compiling and I get a compressed image file that's about 2MB in size. No way it is a di-624 firmware! |

Looks like this is source code is for the DI-624 Ver. E1.
Check out:
http://tsd.dlink.com.tw/ModelDocu.asp?SourceType=download&sno=DELIAMDG
Does the E1 differ significantly from the other C and D board designs?
See ya...

Guys!
This is too big to be the dlink source!!!
I mean the end result should be like 600-800kb !!
This is big even compiled! |

said by www.kilgus.net :
The user updateable part represents the main software with which the router runs. It is much bigger than the 1MB space the flash allows (around 2MB) and therefore is only uploaded and saved in a packed form. The boot part unpacks the main firmware during startup into the SDRAM. The algorithm used is from the old ARJ archiver and the firmwares available from D-Link can actually be decompressed this way (you should get a file called "NML.MEM" in the process).
So, try packing with arj

The linux kernel source is 39,9 MB and can generate images of some kbytes... i'll setup an test so just to build this thing and see the result, if it works i'll begin to mod it. |
