Thomson SpeedTouch 7G

This ADSL modem router wifi was originally made by Inventel (blue7G board).

The router is distributed by some ISPs like the italian ISP Fastweb. The label on this unit says : THOMSON 7G Modem Easy Thomson V1.0

Other routers using the same board:

Not supported yet. However you can install OpenWrt (no ADSL) using a custom CFE.

Bootloader (CFE), OpenWrt prebuilt firmware, and patches to build your own firmware:
Speedtouch7G-openwrt_12.09_wl-CFE.zip
board Model Model Specific Notes
blue7g4b ADSL not supported
SoC RAM Flash Network USB Serial JTag
BCM6348@256MHz 32MiB 8MiB 4 x 1 Yes Yes Yes

Please check out the article flash.layout. It contains an example and a couple of explanations.

This section deals with how you install OpenWrt once the OEM bootloader is replaced by a new CFE.

  • Unplug the power cord
  • Press the button labeled as reset, don't release it yet!
  • Plug the power cord
  • Wait 10 seconds
  • Release the reset button
  • Select .bin file
  • Upgrade the image
  • Wait for it to reboot
  • Telnet to 192.168.1.1 and set a root password, or browse to http://192.168.1.1 if LuCI is installed. or browse to http://192.168.1.1 if LuCI is installed.

generic.sysupgrade

If you have already installed OpenWrt and like to reflash for e.g. upgrading to a new OpenWrt version you can upgrade using the mtd command line tool. It is important that you put the firmware image into the ramdisk (/tmp) before you start flashing.

LuCI Web Upgrade Process

Terminal Upgrade Process

  • Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1
  • Use the following commands to upgrade.
cd /tmp/
wget http://http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/XXX/xxx.abc
sysupgrade /tmp/xxx.abc
  • If sysupgrade does not support this router, use the following commands.
cd /tmp/
wget http://http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/XXX/xxx.abc
mtd write /tmp/xxx.abc linux && reboot

Basic configuration After flashing, proceed with this.
Set up your Internet connection, configure wireless, configure USB port, etc.

The default network configuration is:

Interface Name Description Default configuration
br-lan LAN & WiFi 192.168.1.1/24
eth0 WAN dhcp
eth1 LAN bridged
wlan0 WiFi disabled

How to connect to the JTAG Port of this specific device:

Photo of PCB with markings

For reading/writing to the flash you can use UrJTAG (latest svn). UrJTAG is able to operate in DMA mode with bcm63xx boards, then it's faster than hairydairymaid.

Backup whole flash

  1. Connect your JTAG cable from your computer to your board
  2. Execute UrJTAG in root mode:
    sudo jtag
  3. Power on the board
  4. Immediately execute these commands:
    cable dlc5 ppdev /dev/parport0
    detect
    endian big
    initbus ejtag_dma
    detectflash 0x1f800000
    readmem 0x1f800000 0x800000 st7g_backup.bin

Restore whole flash

  1. Connect your JTAG cable from your computer to your board
  2. Execute UrJTAG in root mode:
    sudo jtag
  3. Power on the board
  4. Immediately execute these commands:
    cable dlc5 ppdev /dev/parport0
    detect
    endian big
    initbus ejtag_dma
    detectflash 0x1f800000
    flashmem 0x1f800000 st7g_backup.bin

Flashing a bootloader

  1. Connect your JTAG cable from your computer to your board
  2. Execute UrJTAG in root mode:
    sudo jtag
  3. Power on the board
  4. Immediately flash the new bootloader:
    cable dlc5 ppdev /dev/parport0
    detect
    endian big
    initbus ejtag_dma
    detectflash 0x1f800000
    flashmem 0x1fc00000 CFE_speedtouch7g-nvr.bin
