This system has been abandoned by Cisco and is easily available on ebay for between $11 and $30. It has a Marvell 88F6282 @ 1.6Ghz with 512MB RAM and 512MB NAND Flash. Two Gigabit Ethernet ports, 1 USB slot and an SD Card slot. One of the Ethernet ports supports 802.3af PoE and the Marvell RTC appears to be backed by a battery.
There are two serial ports on board. The one with the header pins attached is problematic, but their are pin holes behind it (with the pin order switched) that allowed me to boot using UART mode from an image included in the Cisco source. The unit I have seems to have acquired some type of malware that when booted tries to download and install an image from what from all indications is a malware site. Therefore I am unable to boot into the stock firmware. Strangely although Cisco's source archive contains the u-boot source code it doesn't contain any kernel source code!!!
I have been able to boot bodhi's Debian 4.4.0 root file system with DTB file embedded in the kernel image. I used the kirkwood-db-88f6282.dtb which doesn't give me access to either network port. There is u-boot source code available for version 1.1.4 which I find confusing as I can't seem to relate it to the source for bodhi's u-boot. So I'm looking for help with two things:
1 - Figuring out where to look in the u-boot 1.1.4 source for the details necessary to update bodhi's u-boot to support this system.
2 - Figuring out a good DTS file for this system.
P.S. I have another unit (NEW IN SEALED FACTORY BOX) bought from ebay for $11 on it's way too me!
