building the stock WL700gE from the asus sources results in the following TRX files being generated:
~/WL700g/nasoc/src/apps/mfgtest_root/mipsel/mfgtest_root.trx ~/WL700g/nasoc/src/apps/mipsel/WL700gE_1.0.4.6.trx ~/WL700g/nasoc/src/apps/mipsel/broadnas.trx ~/WL700g/nasoc/src/apps/mipsel/root.trx ~/WL700g/nasoc/src/apps/pivot_root/mipsel/pivot_root.trx ~/WL700g/nasoc/image/pivot_root.trx ~/WL700g/nasoc/image/backup/pivot_root_1.09.trx ~/WL700g/nasoc/image/broadnas.trx
I thought it might be worth looking at the pivot_root.trx just to see if that is intended to pivot to the hard drive for the new root filesystem.
We plan to to inspect the TRX images from the OpenWRT project and from the Asus firmware image to see what they contain.
Then we're going to build a new linux kernel, and whatever else needs to be in a TRX image, install it on our hacked-up router units using TFTP, and see how it works.
Progress will appear on HighLevelPlan if and when there is progress.
Step 1: Build cross-toolchain
Because we will abandon pure built-from-source software only if we see no other option.
Step 2: Build linux kernel
done
Step 3: Build TRX image file
in progress
Step 4: Install TRX image file and boot router
