Firmware 1.04 question

Do any of the v1.04 firmwares available work with Rev A1 hardware?

Because I cannot get the DNS-313 to accept they are valid even though they are supposedly for Rev A hardware.

Has anyone loaded 1.04 onto a Rev A1 DNS-313?

TIA

Re: Firmware 1.04 question

One could try to change the header of the firmware file, so your hardware will except the file. The header is the first 104 bytes of the firmware file. In this header there is a string that gives the device name. For the v1.04 found on the Australian site this string is DNS-313v2. When you look at this string for your hardware it is DNS-313 without the v2, but I can not tell if changing this will work for you. Be carefull will changing the string, you must conserve the structure of the header.

If you use Linux, try to open the firmware file with (g)vim and convert the file to HEX then change the hex data accordingly and transfer the file back again and save it.

update:
The header looks like a uboot header, so I think bytes 5-8 are a checksum. By changing the header this will give the wrong output. You could try use the mkimage program present in the GPL files.

Re: Firmware 1.04 question

Thanks for the reply Rawnar.

Is there a forum topic where the hardware differences between the A1 and A2 can be found?
