Asus RT-N12 B1 (8MB Flash) Request

[uiotewre]

Firstly, I'm aware a different revision of this model was rejected on the basis of it having only a 4MB flash, but the B1 has 8MB.

The last TomatoUSB Shibby build for this model is unstable and the router reboots with it at least once a day (and not because of hardware issues - I refurbished the routers, as well as the power adapter).

So:
1) The generic image will not work on it, correct?
2) Would you please kindly produce a firmware for me for this particular model?

Thanks

It still has a very slow CPU and won’t perform well.
But if you want to try it yourself, the documentation section should get you going.

I don’t think the generic image will work on it no.

If it's as simple as choosing a target and compiling, it should be easy...

But what would be involved after following the building from source instructions here:

Will the compilation process have a target for the RT-N12 B1? OpenWRT supports it from 15.05. Since Gargoyle is OpenWRT based, will it have the target included as well? Thanks

The brcm47xx target would be close but not quite right.
You'll need to do a "make custom" and select your router from the menu which should configure it for brcm47xx/mips47k.

Once this is saved, i tend to kill the build process. Rescue the .config file from within the /custom-src directory and build my own target folder in the /targets directory.
In your case i would make a "mips74k" folder underneath "brcm47xx" and copy the same images file across. Rename the ".config" to "config".

Then you can call "make FULL_BUILD=true brcm47xx/mips74k".

For your own sanity, i would run "make FULL_BUILD=true brcm47xx" before trying any of this to make sure your build environment is 100% and you can complete a stock build first.

Thank you very much.

I will report back on the build.
