Guys, new product from mikrotik. RBM33G. Has a MT7621A CPU w/ 16MB
of flash, 256MB RAM, and pcie m.2.
This thing has 2 mini pci2 slots and 3 gigabit ethernet port and looks
nearly perfect for a dual radio, quad channel mesh box.
Sounds promissing :) And the price is also quite convincing...
I see that there are some devices with this cpu already supported by
lede. Any chance someone has got their hands on this unit and know if
the bootloader is usable ie if LEDE will run on it? If not, anyone
take bounties to 'port' LEDE to a specific board?
MT7621 is generally quite straight forward, all boards I've seen for
now use MTK's SDK U-Boot which could even be replaced quite easily
in case it is locked down or anything.
Porting LEDE hence shouldn't be very hard, I estimate that to be one
hack-evening for it to be running somehow, two days to include support
for a non-intrusive initial flash method (support vendors web-ui
firmware format, tftp/recovery or find a backdoor).
I'd be up to do that for getting the hardware + you-name-it.
Cheers
Daniel
the fact that it has only 256mb memory is what makes me not
interested, nice design, lacks memory....
probablly a decent enough IoT device for things like home automation
or other, as an AP ? well.....
I'm curious. If this device had "enough memory", what you will use it for?
How much is "enough memory" for your use-case?
