Hi,
since years I have an Access Point from Tekram. It's an AP100.
Today I was looking into the firmware available at
http://www.tekram.de/download/wlan/ap10x_25.zip
And there is a Motorola S-Record image inside. If you try the
file command you can get this information:
/tmp/ap10x_25.img: Motorola S-Record; binary data in text format
Ok, I got srecord from http://srecord.sourceforge.net/ and convert it
into binary format...
srec_cat -Output -Binary /tmp/ap10x_25.img > ap10x_25.bin
Then just for fun I did:
strings ap10x_25.bin | grep "Linux"
... and I got that output:
Linux/PPC load:
Uncompressing Linux...
So, they run Linux on this Motorola PC850 CPU. That's interesting.
Unfortunately I haven't found any GPL note, nor any license, nor any
sources. If someone is able to get the sources, please drop a note. I
just want to fix some bugs ;)
Big Thanks for offering gpl-violations.org!
