Hello,
I hope I may ask support to undo a stupid choice on my end ...
While reading a wrt54g hack book I read;
"Attention, owners of WRT54G version 2.2 model routers: Linksys shipped
this version and advertised it as having 16 MB of RAM. However, the
memory chips inside are IS42S16800A-7T, which support 32 MB of RAM.
Although this is not an officially supported configuration, many people
have reported that they have successfully enabled the other 16 MB of RAM
(after all, the word hacking is in the title of this book).
If you have this particular version, we recommend that you verify the
model number on the RAM chip, and if it matches IS42S16800A-7T, you can
use the following nvram commands to enable the extra memory:
nvram set sdram_init=0x0008
nvram set sdram_ncdl=0x0000
nvram commit
reboot"
I realy should have open the device to check chip but didn't. Yes stupid.
From reading up I think I need at least a serial console, for which I
orderd the max chip.
I asume once serial console is working I can "unset" the above set nvram
settings. True ?
Assuming through a console this can be corrected back to the correct
nvram values leaves me with the question;
-> what are the default (original) values I need to revert back to ?
Any input is greatly apreciated
Greetz,
Cor
