> According to the info i could find the cpu is a 400MHz arm1176

> These are the embedded peripherals that, AFAIK, can be found inside the

> - Watchdog (seems to use AR7 driver according AVM bootlog).
> "AVM_WATCHDOG: Watchdog Driver for AR7 Hardware".
> - 2xVNLYQ.
> - SPI (master and slave).
> - I2C (for tuner management according with some board schematics).
> - CPPI 4.1 (Communications Port Programming Interface). "... CPPI4
> common peripherals, including the CPPI 4 DMA Controller, the Queue
> Manager, and the Buffer Manager." Unlike TI Davinci ethernet
> driver/hardware uses CPPI 4.1.
> - 2xCPMAC (only one in Avalanche?).
> - CGPMAC (only present in Avalanche).
> - Packet proccessor.
> - GMII or RGMI.
> - MDIO bus.
> - Inventra USB 2.0 OTG like Davinci and OMAP SoCs.
> - Intd (interrupt distributor). TI Keystone has an intd but no idea if
> is the same found in Puma5.
> - Intc (interrupt controller).
> - PCI: absent, but is referenced in one header file.
> There are more peripherals but they have only interest for VoIP,
> DOCSIS and tuner.

> SDKs based in kernel 2.6.18 can be easily found, whereas FRITZ!Box
> 6360 Cable is based in kernel 2.6.28 with AVM modifications.
> The most of the boards based in Puma5 use an Atheros switch and an
> ATH79 or Ralink SoC for wireless with their own RAM and flash. Some
> have an RTL8198 working like a switch and with a Realtek wireless chip
> (RTL8192xx).
>
> The most of the boards have a PSP-Uboot and others ADAM2.
> I have a Hitron BVW-3653 that is based in PSP-uboot and OpenRG, and an
> RT3052 with 8MB RAM without flash (the Ralink OS is loaded when
> booting) for testing purposes if somebody is interested in porting
> this SoC to OpenWRT.

Excuse for the "double mail" but the answers were not related with the
subject of the mail.
Any answer will be very appreciated (yes, no, maybe, ...).
