That's tragic. I just picked up a Netgear WNDR4300 (openbox on sale at the<br>
local Fry's) to see if I could hack up a CeroWrt clone on it. It seems to<br>
be mostly the same hardware as the WNDR3700v4 and the TP-Link WDR43[01]0,<br>
with things just wired up slightly differently.<br>

As I understnad it, the difference between the WNDR3700v4 and WNDR4300 is that the 4300 has a slightly better wireless chip.<br>
<br>
Unfortunantly from what I've seen so far, they did something wierd with the storage and as a result the stock openwrt can't access it. I've seen reports of people getting it to run from an initramfs, but this means that no settings can be preserved across reboot.<br>
<br>
If you've seen anything different, I'd be very interested to hear about it (I picked up a 3700v4 and a couple 4300's for testing)<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></blockquote><div>
<br>according to a birdie, "it looks like it's an ONFI with quirks, or nobody has realised that it's ONFI at all.". Perhaps that's enough clue to get someone started? but I fear jtag debugging will be needed. Flash chips tend to have interesting race conditions....<br>

I'd be interested in your netperf testing setup. With the AR71xx chips<br>
going out of style, the AR934x series is probably our best bet for readily<br>
consumer-available hardware with open-source friendly SoCs. (Maybe a Xilinx<br>
Zynq-based router funded through Kickstarter? =)<br>
<br>
This is all pretty new stuff, perhaps some more performance can be gleaned<br>
by tuning the compiler optimizations (-march=74Kc?), and perhaps the<br>
AR8327N switch chip could use someone poking about its driver (the rtl8366s<br>
in the WNDR3800 _has_ been around a while). Although, in all honesty, the<br>
omission of that second ethernet port could just be a coffin nail.<br>
<br>
Helpfully, the WNDR4300 has 128MB of NAND flash, as does the WNDR3700v4. So<br>
compiling a full CeroWRT distribution shouldn't be a problem. The fixeth<br>
script will need to be changed, but not much else.<br>

PS: I apologize if this post doesn't show up where it should. I joined the<br>
