Some time ago I got a Vodafone EasyBox 602 router into my hands (16,- € incl. shipping) and thought about playing around a bit with this hardware and trying to get OpenWRT running on it.
Opening the case is a bit tricky but can be done with a set of plectra. (They are perfect for this task.)
I’ve added two fotos of the pcb inside the case and the position of the plastic hinges.
Inside you will find an already assembled connector for the serial interface. I played around a bit and identified the RxD and TxD pins. I attaced wires to the them and for convenience added an external access to the pins.
I’m still playing around with the installed boot loader and firmware but so far I can confirm the following layout of the the rom image:
| Area | Address | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Boot | 0xB0000000 | 128K |
| Configuration | 0xB0020000 | 256K |
| None | 0xB0060000 | 64K |
| Special Area | 0xB0070000 | 64K |
| Primary Setting | 0xB0080000 | 64K |
| Code Image 0 | 0xB0090000 | 3776K |
| Code Image 1 | 0xB0440000 | 3776K |
| Boot Params | 0xB07F0000 | 64K |
| Flash Image | 0xB0000000 | 8192K |
I’m soon going to add some links to (discontinued) analyses of others on this router. So far it looks like OpenWRT (as an example for an alternative firmware) cannot be installed, but let’s see…
hey kai,
nice to see that someone is digging in this routers guts. i got mine pretty cheap but i have problems with it:
it hangs and isnt serving any ips. its also not turning the wifi on. i found something about the 802 (http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/arcadyan/arv752dpw) which is pretty similar but i guess you already seen that. anyway.
i cracked it open and read out the uart feed: it hangs after:
ROM VER: 1.0.3
CFG 01
Read EEPROMX
X
i guess as early as in any way possible. i wonder if you have a dump firmware areas and if you can send me them? so i would try to reflash the bootloader (if possbile) to make it work again.
would be nice if you let me know what you think about that.
best wishes
lny
