Notes

Turn off hardware flow control in minicom or you won't be able to send keys

System information:

CPU:   Broadcom BCM63168D0
DRAM:  256 MiB
NAND:  128 MiB
Board Id (0-6)                    : F@ST3865b

Total Memory: 268435456 bytes (256MB)
Boot Address: 0xb8000000

NextLevelBoot U-boot @ 0x8ff00000
Chip ID: BCM63168D0, MIPS: 400MHz, DDR: 400MHz, Bus: 200MHz

NAND Config: Reg=15142200, chipSize=128 MB, blockSize=128K, erase_shift=11
busWidth=1, pageSize=2048B, page_shift=11, page_mask=000007ff

Dumping the flash:

./cfetool.py --read=test.bin --addr=0xb8000000 --size=0x8000000 --block=0x20000

Future Work

Find an image from a router with the same CPU and try to boot it. Some other page mentions that the BBOX3 is simply a rebrand of a Sagemcom F@ST 3864. Browsing the OpenWRT builds leads me to brcm63xx and consequently to the FAST2704V2-squashfs-cfe.bin. I will attempt to boot this via tftpboot. The assumption is that it is from a similar brand and seeing as tftpboot should boot from RAM and not flash, hopefully the device will not be bricked.

Flashing with tftp

Some of the uboot commands are not running as expected. Performing go with the address just seems to freeze the device. Perhaps the uboot has been tainted with.

To Try:

  • Try reflashing uboot in CFE?
  • Try all different images based on bcm63xxx
