The Netgear DGND3700 v1 and DGND3800B are the same device but with
different factory firmwares. It's an xDSL wifi router with a slim black
shiny casing and 4 PCB internal antennas connected via UFL to a miniPCI
detachable card.
Hardware:
- SoC: Broadcom BCM6368
- CPU: dual core BMIPS4350 V3.1 @400Mhz
- RAM: 128 MB DDR
- NOR Flash: 32 MB parallel (CFE and OS)
- NAND flash: 128 MB (empty)
- Ethernet LAN: 5x 1Gbit
- Wifi 2.4 GHz: Broadcom BCM43222 802.11bgn
- Wifi 5 GHz: Broadcom BCM43222 802.11abgn
- USB: 2x 2.0
- Buttons: 3x, 1 reset
- LEDs: 11x
- UART: yes
Installation via OEM web UI:
1. Open the Netgear administration web interface, by default:
http://192.168.0.1
user: admin
password: password
2. Look for "upgrade firmware" and proceed
3. Wait some minutes until it finishes

This allows booting bigger ramdisk images via TFTP at the cost of breaking 32M
RAM compatibility, but those devices have been unable to boot ramdisks on this
target for some time anyway due to not having enough RAM.

BMIPS is a generic arch that can be used for multiple Broadcom SoCs, each one
with its own specific drivers, so instead of having a huge kernel supporting
all of them, let's switch to a subtarget per SoC like other OpenWrt targets.

Make use of sercomm-pid script for generating the Sercomm PID, which avoids
having to add an array of hex bytes for every new Sercomm device.

SERCOMM_VERSION is ambiguous and it should be more clear that it refers to the
version used for the filesystem.

This target has full device tree support, thus reducing the number of
patches needed for bcm63xx, in which there's a patch for every board.
The intention is to start with a minimal amount of downstream patches and
start upstreaming all of them.
Current status:
- Enabling EHCI/OHCI on BCM6358 causes a kernel panic.
- BCM63268 lacks Timer Clocks/Reset support.
- No PCI/PCIe drivers.
- No ethernet drivers.
