WL-500gp problem with RAM upgrade to 128 MB
Hi Guys,
Now I'm using competitive firmware DD-WRT,
but I tried to upgrade WL-500gp to 128MB RAM according to post http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=...ighlight=hynix
I need more RAM to run asterisk. Now I'm using Torrent client and FTP server with USB disk.
Unfortunately upgrade failed. Slowly I'm induce to Oleg's firmware, but decision like this required time to configure router once again and familiarize with new firmware.
I'm not a linux specialist, so this is not easy for me.
This is quote from DD-WRT forum, but nobody can help me. Maybe somebody of you give me answer.
[QUOTE]I'm tried failed RAM upgrade (to 128 MB) on the WL-500gp. It was done by follow post from Oleg's forum:
[URL="http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=7048&highlight=hynix (is written in russian language, but I know it a little). Before replacing memory chip from 2x HY5DU281622ETP-5 to 2x HY5DU121622CTP-J, (which should give me 128 MB) I sets NVRAM settings (only 16 MB):
nvram set sdram_init=0x000b
nvram set sdram_config=0x0032
nvram set sdram_ncdl=0
nvram commit
Desoldering and resoldering was not so easy (I haven't experience with hot air station).
Finally router doesn't want boot correctly. Power led came on, but router don't respond on ping. So I replace memory chips once again for new one (maybe damaged ? over temperature ?), without new result, and again new chip and again the same. It was possible to put router in firmware restoration state (by pressing together restoration switch with power on), power led start flashing, but putting firware was not possible.
My questions is:
DD-WRT can support 128 MB RAM ?
How works memory detectiom at startup ? Only by NVRAM settings ? CFE ?
Generally what was wrong ?
I came back to old one memory chips, work fine.
sorry for my english[/QUOTE]
Which setting I have to set before upgrade ?
Problem was with firmware or not ?
