Recent Linux on the D-Link DIR-685
(Last boot 2024-02-09 with the v6.1.77 kernel, using OpenWRT as rootfs)

D-Link DIR-685

D-Link DIR-685 booting a mainline kernel with prompt in the little display. The touchkeys on the right provide "enter" but that is the only useful input to the terminal without any GUI tools.

I have moved the basic use and set-up of the device to the corresponding OpenWrt DIR-685 device page where it is properly maintained by the community. This page is just my own musings and tricks, and a bit of history.
