You have to get the source code for the "crippled" one and a toolchain for your target, then you can try to compile in the features you want and hope it works. Unless you have JTAG on your target it might be impossible or difficult to flash a new uboot, and without JTAG it's bricked if your fresh new uboot doesn't work. Getting a new uboot working is time-consuming and in my opinion is usually not worth the effort if the lack of features can be worked around.
If it can flash new firmware from tftp or serial or something, i'm happy. _______________________________________________ openwrt-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-users
