D-Link GPL/Open Source and DIR-655 Firmware?

<< < (9/9)

Chekov:
The new DIR-655 bootlog includes lines like:

info     [    0.220000] Ubicom GPIO Controller
info     [    0.220000] ubicom32_flash_init(): registering device resources
notice     [    3.590000] Creating 6 MTD partitions on  ubicom32_boot_flash :
notice     [    3.590000] 6 cmdlinepart partitions found on MTD device ubicom32_boot_flash
info     [    3.470000] Serial: Ubicom32 mailbox serial driver.
info     [    3.470000] ubicom32 rng init
info     [    3.470000] ubicom32 rng started

So it looks like GPL code is now working on Ubicom processor ... or am I misreading this?

dlsniper:
Would this help you? ftp://ftp.dlink.de/dir/dir-655/driver_software/DIR-655_GPL_code_revb.rar

For some reason it seems it's the source code of it but I haven't had a look at it yet. It's for revision B afaik.

I realize its not likely that this inquiry will cause it to show up, but I was just wondering if there was a particular reason that it isn't available?  In other words, what determines which firmware is open sourced?

Developers cheated and simply rewrote the version number from v1.05 (? 1.01) to v.1.08b2 in the firmware source codes and try to pass them off as the latest version. I asked a question about the technical support of D-link about these “manipulations”.

FurryNutz:
Did you find out anything?

Seems like a old post. This product is EOL now.
