CalAMP Fusion

Open squeaky-geek opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

Is this request related to a missing driver support for a particular hardware platform, SoC or board? Please describe.

not necessarily, more of a device compatibility check, the SoC in question is x86

Describe why you are asking for this support?

these boards are a perfect candidate for 4g lte bonding

Additional context

please see images

" CalAmp Fusion lte modem, RE BRANDED as a " Harris MBC-200 " it boots " busybox " on a MPC8314E PowerQUICC II Pro Processor... ( see images ) -- some logs / more intel available on request -- My question(s) : how do i go about re flashing this? ( without bricking ) -- for that matter... is it even re flashable? -- the firmware files from CalAmp are " .pak " files How do i edit / view / dissect them? -- the nand is a SPANSION GL512N11FFI02 -- it has one visible ddr2 chip that i think is either 512MB or more likely 128Mb..

any help / insight is greatly appreciated, BOTH calamp AND harris ( go figure ) have been of no help. ( in their defense " yet..." )

my end goal is to run dual concurrent 4g modems with Openmptcprouter. top_view bottom_view

Seems to be a PowerPC, so not x86 compatible. The processor seems to be slow. This seems really difficult to support this board as I don't see any OpenWRT/Linux support.

Thank you for your response. I'll put it on a shelf in hopes of future Linux support.

@Ysurac , if i post the log that i managed to get do you think you may be able to point me in the direction of dissecting this thing? i really hate to scrap it, if i have to compile / roll my own firmware i'm not opposed. ( even if its not linux per say )

is there a 32 bit ( i386 / x86 ) server image? or will the generic 86 / 64 image work? trying to roll my own server with a stratacache spectra s-200 and debian 11.05 i386. ( or will i need to compile from source? ( ive never compiled from source before so that will be fun if needed ) -thanks for putting up with me xD

Only x86_64 is supported server side. You would need a x86 patched compiled kernel and use i386 packages if available. Good luck...
