Does Openwrt actually have the modem firmware?  The Wiki suggested the modem firmware is not included due to it being copyrighted.

Also, did you compare if sync is different between stock and Openwrt?

Openwrt sources of modem firmware

http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/dsl_vr9_firmware_xdsl-05.08.01.08.01.06_05.08.00.0B.01.01_osc.tar.gz

It's included, though the latest is 5.9.1.4.0.7

No difference in sync between stock eci and stock openwrt

Is that basically identical to the HH5A?  The number seems to match the latter.

Also, any idea what that patch is about?

patch for fw is: /lib/firmware

Hi, all!

How to get access to that Resyncs counter through dsl_cpe_control utility?

Hi,

It's ran from this script: https://vanquishsolutions.co.uk/openwrt/VG3503J/files/lib/functions/

I have unlocked my ECI modem, installed the firmware from JSamuel and attempting to add the modem as a node to my new munin server but it does not show up in the web GUI with the other server node after adding to the munin.conf on server.

Code: (munin.conf) [Select]

[MuninMaster.lan]
    address 127.0.0.1
    use_node_name yes

[ECI-Modem.lan]
    address 192.168.2.251
    user_node_name yes
I have netcat the modem and got positive responses to the plugins and version of muninlite, I have also observed the temp file 'dsl.txt' being created and updated in the modem filesystem.

Code: ($ nc 192.168.2.251 4949) [Select]

# munin node at ECI-Modem.lan
list
cpu load memory processes uptime irqstats xdsl_speeds xdsl_errors xdsl_line_att xdsl_noise xdsl_tran_pwr
version
munins node on ECI-Modem.lan version: 1.0.4 (munin-lite)
quit
I cannot ascertain what else is needed from looking at the example server VM posted by JSamuel, can anyone clarify additional config required?  I will note I am yet to connect the DSL and LAN1 ports of the modem as my current setup is still in situ, although I struggle to see how this could be a cause.

Thanks and take care,
Alex.

It appears the issue was caused by my foolishness of including "user_node_name yes" variable on the modem node in munin.conf.  May others learn by my mistake.

Found a bunch of dsl firmwares here to try with my ECI/r https://cloud.mail.ru/public/4Ljp/2auEVG4kB

Tried to update mine to the latest OpenWRT but its not taking it.  All goes well until I press Proceed, it reboots, flashed the power LED green and amber a few times then boots back into the old firmware.

Guess there's no good reason to use it over the HH5a anyway, I just liked the idea of putting it back on the wall vs the HH5a which constantly tries to fall over from the force of the ethernet cable in the back.

Chaos Calmer is v15, to upgrade to version 17 or later:
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commitdiff;h=17094e9e642ffca19c6b6681766d2bcbb8e6e565

use the new image build code and remove the lzma loader. The lzma
loader was used to cheat the signature validation of the bootloader and
I found another way to do this.

To migrate boards already using LEDE/OpenWrt to the new image the
following steps need to be done once:

  VR9 # run reset_uboot_config
  VR9 # reset
  VR9 # setenv ethaddr AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
  VR9 # setenv preboot ping 1.1.1.1\;bootm 0xb001f000
  VR9 # saveenv
  VR9 # tftp 0x81000000 lede-lantiq-xrx200-VG3503J-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
  VR9 # erase 0xb0020000 $(filesize)
  VR9 # cp.b 0x81000000 0xb0020000 $(filesize)

The mac address is printed on the label at the bottom of the case.

The following steps are need to be done during first install:

  VR9 # setenv preboot ping 1.1.1.1\;bootm 0xb001f000
  VR9 # saveenv
  VR9 # tftp 0x81000000 lede-lantiq-xrx200-VG3503J-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
  VR9 # erase 0xb0020000 $(filesize)
  VR9 # cp.b 0x81000000 0xb0020000 $(filesize)

The image uses the uImage firmware splitter now instead of hardcoded
kernel and rootfs partitions. The firmware partition size was extended
to use flash space that was reserved for partitions required only by
the ECI firmware.

Due to the changes an upgrade to a later LEDE revision from a running
LEDE is supported now.

A default switch config was added and the device uses the same MAC
addresses as the ECI firmware now instead of the same for all VG3503J.

You may need to grab a serial cable
