NMT:DTS

Flashing a A-110 firmware on A-100 does fail pretty early on.

1) make A100 think its A110. Will it work? Does it check things too deep? (cpukeys etc)

Might not be possible, but if it would work, it would make everything complete.

Changing /etc/config, /etc/kinfo and hostname from 402 to 403, will make it complain about wrong size. Perhaps a better idea is to change the firmware to say 402 in its version: c403dPOPk15

Unfortunately my first tests of this complained about wrong flash size, this turns out that you have to do a stepping flash before you can do newer firmwares, so this could be re-visited. For now, I have made a 403 firmware be 402.

2) pull out ucode from A110, and add to A100 firmware. Not too hard, but tedious. Have all keys, and CRC code already.

Apart from ucode, other parts of the software might check for model number to enable/disable 2ch mix-down. So we might have to do partial 1) anyway.

3) pull out ucode and attempt to get it to initialise after A100 has booted up.

Unlikely replacing ucode after boot will work, and may still need part of 1) to work.

4) Make an A-110 firmware be A-100 firmware.

That worked rather well. DTS works.

So, while we are changing the firmware, I could add telnet, and even load FUSE. Can I replace NTFS with NTFS-3g automatically? Perhaps not. Replace "mount" with script, but sys_mount() I can not.
