I don't know if this is relevant or useful, but I believe the ethernet driver on this and the BTHH5 are the same (lantiq).
I proposed a change to allow mini-jumbo frames on the ethernet, see:
https://forum.lede-project.org/t/lantiq-vrx200-pppoe-1500-bytes/4087/2
but was unable to test as the ECI was limited to 1500 also.

Maybe someone who builds LEDE for ECI may like to try?
Should enable you to use full 1500 mtu on the pppoe connection with any UK ISP using BT Openreach (assuming the router you are using with the ECI also supports frames of 1508 on the ethernet link).

Has anyone managed to get this going with ADSL instead of VDSL?

I am currently still on the official firmware, I switched to ADSL using
/usr/sbin/vg3503j_bt_xml_modify.sh WAN_CFG_GROUP_T_00 media_type ADSL

The line syncs, but I still get no traffic on the nas interface...any idea?

Should it work straight away if I flash a non-modified OpenWrt?

How can I backup the current squashfs, considering the modem has no internect connection and does not seem to ship with ssh?

I suspect you have not changed the device's configuration from packet transfer mode (PTM) to asynchronous transfer mode (ATM). That would result in exactly the symptoms you have described.

Unfortunately I do not have any experience of using the modem/router and so will not be able to help you.

thanks for getting back to me :)

The device seems to be on ATM. The line syncs, and I get download/upload rates.

"DSL_STATUS Notification
Negotiated DSL Mode = ADSL
Negotiated TC Mode = ATM
>> DSL data rate: US 888 kbps, DS 14494 kbps.
>> DSL link up, time 76, handshake elapsed time 76"

But then udhcpc is started, and it doesn't get any reply.

I'm not sure how to proceed from there, the Asus router fails to connect over PPPoE reporting "Timeout waiting for PADO packets"

Nothing...I backed up, flashed with the 15.05.1 from OpenWRT's website.

I can't even get this one to sync the line.
I edited /etc/config/network to use annex a (tried b and j too) and atm

But the DSL led doesn't come on at all, and dsl_control reports the line as "Idle"

Any clue?

Hi folks,

I'm currently using a BT HH5A running LEDE on my VDSL link.  I am going to update a router with a much fast CPU so I can run OpenVPN on it without crippling throughput.

As I'll be running LEDE/OpenWRT on the new router, I'll likely need to dust off the BT ECI V2 modem the BT Openreach enginieer left when they put me onto VDSL (I had an HH 5A then so just used it).  Or would I be better off with the Huawei HG612?

Apart from the "I have control" issue that all we techies love, what are the benefits of flashing this modem with OpenWRT?

Oh yes, while I'm here, How do I found out what type of DSLAM is in my cabinet?

** Update ** Thanks to post from Dray below, I've found out I'm on a Hauwei cabinet

Thanks
Dave

Hi Everyone,

After a fair bit of reading ( ??? ) - one question...Is the best way to get the top off these things still by following the advice to drill a 2mm hole in the sides (http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php?topic=11818.msg225850 Reply #7)?

Thanks

Welcome to the Kitz forum.  :)

It is possible to open the /r ECI devices by using a number of plastic implements to gently distort the casing and ease off the lid. Start from the long side which has the fixing screws and gradually work around towards the back. Once the first clip has been released then task then becomes easier.

Drilling method worked for me numerous times... dremmel worked a treat..

As you are on a huawei cab I would stick with a broadcom device which would give you easy access to stats too

Thanks - one metal spudger, 10 mins later and I was in, serial header fitted and OpenWrt installed! Yay!

With regards to the cab, it's just gone live with FTTC and I am waiting for my order to activate on 13th Sept. I currently have a Draytek 2830n doing the ADSL biz and I will be using the Openreach modem on the WAN port (so any pointers to guides for that would be good!). I am debating getting a Vigor 130, but thought I'd give the Openreach modems a go first as I managed to obtain a couple of 'unwanted' ones.

Sidenote: For fitting the serial port header, I've seen mention elsewhere of using a 1mm drill bit to clear the solder from the PCB holes (especially the end ones as they are attached to the power and ground planes and a bit of a bugger to clear) - 'in the trade' a 0.8mm bit is generally used as there is less chance of taking out the through-hole plating.

So - where to next - any tweaks I should now go do to get ready for VDSL?

A good tip. Thank you for mentioning it.

Re: OpenWrt (Chaos Calmer r46559) for ECI/r v1 & v2 - Update: G.INP/ReTX Support
« Reply #297 on: September 12, 2017, 12:49:22 AM »

I have successfully installed OpenWrt on my ECI V2 by following the excellent guide on the first post.

I have encountered a recurring problem, after ever 10 or so days, I am unable to browse the internet unless I power-cycle the modem. I was using a Asus N66U router and now a Plusnet Hub with the same issue.

I wanted to upgrade OpenWrt with this file: openwrt-15.05-lantiq-xrx200-VG3503J_V2-squashfs.image Unfortunately, I was unable to load it via the webgui update (LuCI) page and also failed with sysupgrade via ssh.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Help please adjust the work with the profile 17a

At the moment the modem is synchronized with the profile 8b

I downloaded the file https://www.openreach.co.uk/orpg/home/products/super-fastfibreaccess/super-fastfibreaccess/landrgnu/downloads/code/ECI_Arcadyan_VDSL_modem.zip,

Using Arc, I unzipped the xcpe_hw.bin file from the dsl_vr9_firmware_xdsl-05.04.07.09.01.06_05.04.04.04.01.01 archive, renamed it to vdsl.bin, copied it to the / lib / firmware /

The following line is added to the / etc / config / network file.

option firmware '/lib/firmware/vdsl.bin'

The modem can not be synchronized

What am I doing wrong?

Firmware Version:                         5.4.7.9.1.6

There are two problems:
1. This is a very old firmware version.
2. The firmware does not support vectoring.

The profile and bandwidth have probably been restricted due to the lack of vectoring support.

Find a later firmware that supports vectoring:
