can't make out the chip numbers in your pics..
what is the number of the ram chip on the bottom of the board?
what is the number of the 8 pin serial flash chip that is between the processor and the front of the board. It should have a paint dot on it.
In 2008, that was the days of the V5 ~ V8 routers. They were running vxworks, not linux. That would mean that some type of killer would need to be developed.
only an opinion but I don't think anyone will spend the time porting a 4 year old router.
you are going to have to use serial to get a boot log to see what os it is running. Maybe with a little help from jtag and serial, you can use something for a diff router..
that is the same processor as used on the 54g v7.2, 8, 8.1 ,8.2, 54G2 v1, and v1.3
All the routers mentioned above all had parallel flash chips, not serial. That may be a problem. _________________ [Moderator Deleted]

well.. that is 8MB ram. I'll bet the flash is 2MB.
So if you can grab the boot output and get the rest of the needed info, maybe you can flash it (via jtag) like it was a V8. (big maybe though). The radio has one amp and one antenna (checking the fcc site).. All the other linksys routers similar have two amps and antennas. _________________ [Moderator Deleted]
