¶ D-Link DIR-615 rev E1-E4 USB port mod
¶ Part 1: Software
- Download svn source code
- Edit file target/linux/ar71xx/files/arch/mips/ar71xx/mach-dir-600-a1.c (currently there are no 615e profile)
- Add line <color blue>#include "dev-usb.h"</color> after line <color blue>#include "dev-leds-gpio.h"</color>
- Add line <color blue>ar71xx_add_device_usb();</color> after line <color blue>ar71xx_add_device_eth(1);</color>
- For Barrier Breaker 14.07
- Add line <color blue>#include "dev-usb.h"</color> after line <color blue>#include "dev-leds-gpio.h"</color>
- Add line <color blue>ath79_register_usb();</color> after line <color blue>ath79_register_eth(1);</color>
- Run 'make menuconfig' and select platform/profile (atheros ar71xx/Dir-600-a1) and other options (usb-core,
usb-storage, ohci, block-extroot, etc - all what you want) - Compile image and flash it to router.
¶ Part 2: Hardware
-
Solder usb socket (use usb extender cable if you can't find vertical socket)
- Solder usb power. DIR-615e use 5V power source so you can solder a inductance or even 000-resistor at L1 (Check input voltage first!).
-
Solder two usb data line resitors (r4/r5 - 22 Ohms).
-
Solder pull-down resistors (r2/r3). Use small 0805 smd 15k resistors (marked as '153').
- Now check pcb... Twice! Power router on.......
Wait until device boot, connect flashdrive and issue a dmesg command.
If you did all well you'll get something like this:
- Now check pcb... Twice! Power router on.......
