D-Link DIR655A1

Overview

The D-Link DIR655 (A1) is a 3x3 2GHz 11n AP.

  • QCA9558 SoC, MIPS74K, 720MHz
  • 128MiB RAM
  • 16MiB flash
  • AR8327N gigabit switch

How to build

  • Check out freebsd-HEAD
  • clone the freebsd-wifi-build repo
  • make sure /tftpboot exists and is writable
$ cd /path/to/freebsd/src
$ /path/to/freebsd-wifi-build/bin/build dir655a1

How to flash

  • Setup your host as 192.168.0.100
  • Plug into a LAN port
  • Power on, hold the reset pin down for 10 seconds
  • Visit 192.168.0.1 in Firefox
  • Upload 'dir655a1.factory.img'

It's easier to verify this with the serial port wired up - unfortunately the flash recovery web ui is not very reliable and sometimes plainly fails to flash things.

Issues

  • The serial port RX doesn't work - only TX. So even once FreeBSD boots, the serial port isn't fully available. It's a missing resistor on the board and/or a missing GPIO pin configuration in the SoC setup.
  • D-Link don't put the calibration data at the end of flash - they put it around 6 megabytes into the flash itself. So to use the rest of the image you'll have to come up with some creative way of writing to it after the unit has reset. If you'd like to do this, please email [email protected] and we'll figure out how.
