| - | The cfe from the [[http://support.netcommwireless.com/product/fixed-line/nb6plus4w|NB6Plus4W Rev1]] router works with this board. But it divides the flash chip in two banks, only 4 MiB will be available with this CFE, and the button 1 won't work to use it for stopping CFE and loading firmwares through its web interface. A serial TTL adapter is mandatory for managing this CFE. And once flashed probably a JTAG is needed to back to Redboot again. | + | There exists a fully featured CFE for the livebox. The **board ID**s are //blue5g9// (DV4210) and //blue5g6.3// (livebox pro V1). However not (yet) supported officially by Openwrt. It maybe more comfortable for most users since CFE has a web server for updating firmwares. |
