Hello,

I am new to OpenWrt and I would like to flash a Astoria networks
VGV7519, aka KPN Experia Box v8, aka Arcadyan VGV7519 VRX288.

Seems to be supported...
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/arcadyan/vgv7519

But I don't see it in de list with supported hardware:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start

It's not completely clear to me what works and what does not work.
And if it's all with free drivers.
And if closed firmware is needed.

I like the device, because it can do very much. It even has a supported
DSL modem when I understand it well.

This hardware is here in the Netherlands very cheap available, because
it is given away to customers for internet access by some ISP's.
When somebody wants such a device, maybe I can help.

When I understand it wel, I have to solder a 14-pins JTAG header on the
device and use a cable to a parallel port. And then use something like
UrJTAG to flash the device. Never done something like that.

I don't understand which parallel port pin I have to connect with what
EJTAG PIN.

Has somebody here experience with an USB-to-parallel port cable?
Does that work?  (my computer does not have a parallel port)

When I understand it well, the "OEM easy installation" is not useable
because the PIN is unknown. But it could be brute-forced using the given
SHA1 hash. I've tried all PIN's from 1-6 digits (made the sha1 hash out
of it, and compared it with the given hash). But no luck. Maybe I will
try more digits.

It's not clear to me if the "UART method" is working, it would be much
easier I think.

Do I need a RS232-to-TTL cable, or is this only for the UART method?
And if yes, is an USB serial to TTL cable an idea?

Or is it an idea to use another device to connect? I have an Arduino and
an RPi2 here.

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.
