I have a Filanet (Uroam or whoever owns them now) InterJak 300 router. It's based on a AMD ELAN processor and has 16 mb Flash ROM, 64 mb RAM, MiniPCI, USB 2.0 and ethernet ports and i know it runs somekind of Linux.
Having no actual use for it, i want to hack into it and make it do other things (brought it for like £2 at a fleamarket). There are 2 two 10 pin headers next to the CPU marked serial 1 & 2. I tried to connect a standard PC 10 PIN DB9 cable and use a null modem cable to my PC with minicom, but got nothing. Are there any kind-of-standard pinouts used by such devices? And what other settings than 9600-8-N-1 and 115200-8-N-1 is worth trying? (i doesn't even get more than a few garbage characters at reset, so i guess the connections is wrong)
If i get to a console, are there any standard flash bootloaders and programmers for ELAN, that will work?
The ELAN is x86 and has PCI, so i guess a vanilla kernel and utils like busybox will do the trick?
