Description

Micro-plus is a version of dd-wrt micro originally created for debugging purposes, on devices having only 2MB of flash memory. It has enhanced Busybox functionality, such as an expanded shell prompt, tab completion, and ls and top commands, each of which had been stripped from the normal micro version.


Can my device run micro-plus?

4MB+ flash can run it no problem. But the focus is on devices having only 2MB flash:

The only 2MB devices which currently have the ability to run micro-plus must have a small CFE (bootloader) of 128K in size. You can check if your router is capable by doing the following:

  1. Do a CFE backup
    • If the size of your downloaded cfe.bin is 128K, you can safely flash micro-plus and enjoy the benefits.
    • DO NOT flash micro-plus if your cfe.bin is larger than 128K (most are actually 256K) or if your CFE backup somehow fails with zero bytes in size!


Where to download it?

Micro-plus is currently not an official release of the stable tree, but with your help, we hope to make it so. For now, you can find it in downloads/others/eko/v24_TNG directory. It is built by Eko, a lead dd-wrt developer.


Devices known to have a 128K CFE (stock)

Please only add devices having 2MB flash.

  • Belkin F5D7230-4 v1444 (FCC-ID: K7SF5D72304)


Additional info regarding the Micro Plus project

Micro Plus is now possible on V8.2 units (ONLY)
CFE compression on other models...we need original vxworks
