Alt-f on Dlink dnr-322l Rev A possible?

[modellbauer]

Hello,

is it possible to play the firmware on a Dlink dnr-322l Rev A?

Is identical to the dns-320l Rev A.

If so, how should I do that.

Thank you.

Only the kernel boot log and the output of other linux commands can ascertain that.

Details of the electronic circuit board can also help (there are such pictures on the forum for the DNS-320L-rev-A and DNS-320-rev-B, which are indeed identical except for the amount of RAM)

If so, how should I do that.

Do you have linux experience? Does the box supports funplug? Have you installed it? Can you ssh or telnet the box? If needed, can you solder a serial USB adapter in the box?

Notice that there are no PVR software in Alt-F. Out of the "box" you can only use Alt-F for data storage, although PVR might be used through the use of the Python package -- and you need to configure it yourself.

 

Thank you.

Hello.

Yes, it is possible. Both dns-320l and DNS-325-Ax work fine, but LEDs blink weirdly and processor temperature sensor doesn't work.

You can easily flash firmware for 320L by modifying dns323-fw.c (add a line

{8, 128, 5242880, 5242880, 104857600, 5242880, "\x55\xAA" "DNR322L" "\x00\x55\xAA"},    /* DNR-322L */

to signatures[] array). For 325 you'll have to flash uboot.

[modellbauer]

Thanks for the suggestions.

Have the device received a gift and thought it can simply flash on a NAS firmware.

The board is the same as DNS 320 revision A.

30 years ago I would have soldered it or something.

Just thought I can adjust the firmware with a hex editor and play.

Too bad.

But thanks for the suggestions. I'll think it over.

Thx @all

P.S. Sorry for my english, I m German an use the google translator :-)

The 320-rev-A is very diferent from the 320L-rev-A. To which one your box electronic board is identical? In your first post you said 320L.

I can build a fw next week so that the d-link dnr-322L webui will accept and flash it.

But if the board is not correctly identified you will brick the box, and only soldering a serial to usb adapter might unbrick it.

So it is very important to correctly identify the board.

For which one shall I build the test fw? For the 320-revA or for the 320L-revA?

Like this one?

You might want to read some more info about the DNS-320-rev-A, while I don't build your fw (i.e. disguise a Alt-F-1.0 firmware build for the DNS-320-rev-A box with a DNR-322L-rev-A suit).

The site where I took most technical info about it: http://jamie.lentin.co.uk/devices/dlink-dns325/

The dns323.kood  comunity: http://dns323.kood.org/dns-320

A german site on how to install ffp on it (you should really try that first) https://wolf-u.li/3779/installation-des-fonz-fun_plug-0-5-auf-dem-d-link-dns-320-sharecenter-pulse/

So I build the firmware and put it at https://sourceforge.net/projects/alt-f/files/Experimental/

Its README, be sure to read and understand it carefully:

This is an untested experimental version of Alt-F-1.0 for the D-Link

DNR-322L-rev-A. 

It is based on the fact that the DNS-320-rev-A circuit board is

*visually* identical to the DNR-322L-rev-A circuit board, which is a

very weak evidence of compatibility.  No other check or verification was

made, so flashing it might brick your box and make it unusable. 

This firmware might be flashed using D-Link DNR-322L own firmware

upgrader, and after a reboot, if successful it will appear as a DNS-320

box running Alt-F-1.0.  After the reboot the box IP and name can change,

so you need to consult in your router DHCP server the current client/IP

leases, or use a network scanner to find its new IP.  The browser cache

should also be cleared after the flashing. 

The Alt-F webUI will be able to flash only other DNS-320-rev-A firmware,

so to be able reflash the original vendors firmware further

modifications are needed.

Reports of success or unsuccess are needed.

Hello,

many thanks.

Device is running properly. I use it as a backup and as a media server. So far everything is stable.

Top.

Will it test a few days and report again here.

Thanks to Joao Cardoso

Great!

The points I would like to have more information on are the behaviour of the "peripherals": buttons, leds, temperature reading, fan speed setting (Services->System, sysctrl, Configure), and USB pen sticks or disk drives.

For powering down the box, does the power button works? You might (or not) need to keep it pressed for a few seconds; does any orange led blinks when the power button is keeped pressed? Does a reboot or a power down occurs afterwards?

Please read the "About leds and buttons" wiki, which was mainly written for the dns-323/320L/325, and please report any differences.

Thanks for experimenting.

[modellbauer]

- Temperature reading tested and works

- fan speed setting tested and works

Great.

So the DNR-322L-rev-A board is really identical to the DNS-320-rev-A.

I will change the README,REALLY.txt as soon as possible, and might even move the fw files to the 1.0 Release download area.

The only limitation is that the Alt-F webUI can not flash the D-Link DNR-322L-rev-A firmware back, but that restriction will be removed for the next Alt-F release.  I might need your help at that stage :-). For now you can only flash another DNS-320-rev-A firmware.

As the firmware is identical to the DNS-320 (as matter of fact it is identical for all boxes except the DNS-323/321/327L), all software will behave as usual. The only doubts were about the "peripherals", but your tests shown that it's the same board.

Thanks.

hi  folks  , is possible to install some version of altf  in my  dlink  dnr-322L  ver.B2 ?thanks

it migh be that the DNS-322L-revB is identical to the DNS-320-revB, which is actually a DNS-320L-revA. In that case it would be simple to adapt Alt-F to it.

But at least a high resolution photo of both motherboard sides and the white painted sayings in the board would answer your question. It would always be risky to trust such evidences. Do you want to try?

[Jon Mjölnevik]

I would like to try on my DNR-322L Rev B1. Would you like me to take a photo of the circuit board first? Or we know all wee need to know before trying?

Yes, please. If the board is equal to the one on the DNS-320l-Ax (which is identical to the DNS-320-Bx) we are lucky.

Pay special attention to the white labels, they must be readable in the pictures.

 

Or we know all wee need to know before trying?

Very probably the native box webUI will refuse to flash a firmware that was not build for it, so I will need to build a special fw "dressed" as if it were made for it.

For that, besides the circuit board pictures, I need a link to the box official fw, so I can extract its signature and "dress" a standard Alt-F DNS-320L fw with it.

I'm assuming that you don't have soldered a serial adapter on the box, that would make things simpler.

Are you linux experimented? Not afraid of the command line? 

The warnings of the next post remain valid: "It would always be risky to trust such evidences" (identical board photos).

[Jon Mjölnevik]

The firmware link:

https://support.dlink.com/resource/PRODUCTS/DNR-322L/REVB/DNR-322L_REVB_FIRMWARE_v3.02.15.zip

I have some experience of Linux and I am not afraid of the command line.

I don't know anything about Funplug.

I don't have a solder serial adapter, but maybe I could buy one. Where can I buy one or what is the product number/name?

Thank you

[Jon Mjölnevik]

I found these that I think I should buy:

https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Serial-Adapter-Signal-Prolific-Windows/dp/B08L69NBLZ/

https://www.amazon.de/-/en/GIRAFEDA-Pieces-Female-Connector-Straight/dp/B09Q2TY1G7/

Maybe I should wait until I know the upgrade failed..

[João Cardoso]

I'm afraid your board does not looks like a DNS-320L nor any other DNS board I know off. I don't advise you to try to flash it. If you find pictures closely resembling your board let me know.

I've also been examining the official fw file (and other revB fw in the same site folder), and I'm afraid that DLINK has changed the file format for the revB firmware, which is odd (revA fw files still have recognizable patterns on them).  So I can't create a fw file for it... bummer!

You are out of luck, sorry to say

[Jon Mjölnevik]

That was a bummer.

I am going to take a look at: https://tsd.dlink.com.tw/ddgo

More exactly: https://dlink-gpl.s3.amazonaws.com/GPL1600325/DNR-322L_B1_FW_V3.01_GPL_20160714.tar.gz

(Don't really know what to do but I'll have a look).

Thank you!

Hello guys!

Is there any chance to run Alt-F on DNR-326 h/w ver A2, f/w 1.30? Mainboard has mark GF8653387 and chip in attachment.
