Just having a quick play with my new HG533 as supplied by TalkTalk.

I can telnet into it, (username and password : admin) and get an ATP> prompt which doesn't seem to do much.
But typing sh goes into the busybox shell, and I can cd into bin

ls in there shows me an adslcmd file - yay!

Code: [Select]

#adslcmd
Usage: adslcmd begin [--up][--modulation]
       adslcmd end
       adslcmd connect [--up] [--down]
       adslcmd configure [--modulation]
       adslcmd info [--state] [--show] [--stats] [--SNR] [--QLN] [--Hlog] [--Hlin] [--HlinS] [--Bits] [--linediag] [--reset]
       adslcmd fwversion
       adslcmd driverversion
       adslcmd version
       adslcmd delt [--start] [--status] [--show < snr | qln | hlind | bits | actatp > ]
       adslcmd pbstate [--show] [--setmac]
       adslcmd powermode [--on] [--off] [--state]
       adslcmd pbreboot
       adslcmd pbreauth
       adslcmd help

Ooh, look, there it is adslcmd info --Bits !

But when I type the command, I get :

Code: [Select]

# adslcmd info --Bits
Too many options
eh? But that was in the help!

And yet, if I type

Code: [Select]

# adslcmd info --state
adslcmd: ADSL driver and PHY status
Status: Showtime

channel:Interleave
Upstream rate = 1019 Kbps, Downstream rate = 17493 Kbps
UpInterleavestream rate = 1019 Kbps, DownInterleavestream rate = 17493 Kbps
It works as expected.  Am I doing something wrong in my clumsy attempt to get bitloading stats??

   Hmm . . . I doubt that you are doing anything wrong, my suspicion is that there is a coding error in the firmware. 

Perhaps it will be worth experimenting with all permutations on the stated format.

Maybe either adslcmd info --bits or adslcmd info --BITS will do the trick? 

[asbokid]

Can you get the bit depths from the delt command instead, albeit from the init phase?

Code: [Select]

adslcmd delt [--start] [--status] [--show < snr | qln | hlind | bits | actatp > ]
i.e.

Code: [Select]

adslcmd delt --show bits
If the device isn't updating the bit loading array during showtime - which isn't uncommon - then that could be the only option.

cheers, a

[sheddyian]

Thanks for the response.

However :

Code: [Select]

#
# adslcmd info --BITS
Too many options
# adslcmd info --bits
Too many options
# adslcmd info --Bits
Too many options
# adslcmd info --BiTs
Too many options
# adslcmd info --blah
Too many options
#
# adslcmd delt --show bits
#
# adslcmd delt --show snr
#
#
The last two don't return an error, but don't seem to be doing anything either!  The prompt returns as quickly as if just pressing return.

Ian

[asbokid]

Oh dear!

Perhaps there's a way to get a working binary of adslcmd onto the device?  A [tftp | ftp | wget] client (or server), maybe?

cheers, a

[burakkucat]

   Not good.

I wonder if any one of the following just might show who is responsible for the current pig's ear of a situation?

Code: [Select]

       adslcmd fwversion
       adslcmd driverversion
       adslcmd version


[sheddyian]

Here's the output :

Code: [Select]

ATP>sh


BusyBox vv1.9.1 (2012-06-12 13:28:09 CST) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

# adslcmd fwversion

FirmwareVersion : 3.12.8.192_TC3086

ADSL DRV: version - T14.F7_6.0

********* Pass *********
# adslcmd driverversion
ADSL DRV: version - T14.F7_6.0
#
# adslcmd version
adslcmd version - ATP v0.0.1
#

However, the summary screen on the web interface tells me this :

Code: [Select]

Model name:         HG533
Hardware version: F.1.01
Firmware version: v1.13t


Later on, I'll try a few other commands as listed in the help, see if there's any pattern as to which ones work and which don't.

I know that there are problems with this router/modem, I found a page on the TalkTalk website with a list of known problems, asking you not to report them as they already know.  And I think there's an update in the pipeline, though I get the impression it's only addressing minor issues.

hmm

Code: [Select]

FirmwareVersion : 3.12.8.192_TC3086


Hehe! To my childish mind that's quite funny!  It's not a Broadcom chipset at all.  The TC3086 is an AFE and DSL Line Driver from Trendchip. (Trendchip is now part of MediaTek, which was Ralink  )

So Trend has mimicked the Broadcom userspace tool for getting the DSL layer data!  Hehe!  Good for them!  Would be nice to finish it though! 

What does this return(?):

Code: [Select]

# cat /proc/cpuinfo

cheers, a

EDIT: A little bit on this site about the HG533.  Stokie reports that the CPU is a Ralink RT3352 SoC.

P.S. Stokie has also done a teardown of  the TalkTalk YouView box (the Huawei DN370T)

http://stokie-ant.no-ip.org/archives/461

I have one of these, here's the output from /proc/cpuinfo:

Code: [Select]

system type             : Ralink SoCprocessor               : 0

[asbokid]

Aha! Good find, neilius!

BlackEagle (also of this forum) confirmed that the Ralink SoC is a RT3352:

Not sure what the state of play is in OpenWrt for supporting the Ralink SoCs?

cheers, a

[burakkucat]

system type             : Ralink SoCprocessor               : 0

Well that confirms it! 

[sheddyian]

Should it be of use or interest to anyone here, there's the TalkTalk firmware download for it here :

http://downloads.talktalk-labs.com/RFU/Huawei/HG533/

I'm running v1.13t which is as shipped when it arrived 2 weeks ago, but I see there's also v1.14t on that site - am tempted, but don't know the status of that update, so might leave it for a bit.

Thanks Asbo and B*cat for the links and info - off to read about them in a bit

No problems here, had 1.14 running for a month or so. TT might push it out to you eventually (they did a little while ago) if you have CWMP enabled and it will be by default.

[sheddyian]

I might have a play with the 1.14 firmware later on then.  I read in a thread on TalkTalk support forum about the 533 "updated" firmware being temporarily removed from the TalkTalk site - but I'm not clear if it's 1.14t or something else.  Didn't want to brick a reasonably working new router!

Here's a link to the TalkTalk summary of "known issues"!

http://www.talktalk-labs.com/support/faqs/huawei-hg533-known-issues/

hmm 

Ian

[neilius]

Not 100% sure but that page looks like it may be from when the router was being trialled (TT Labs), so may not apply now...
