two internal antennas integrated in the main PCB.
Hardware:
- SoC: Broadcom BCM6369
- CPU: dual core BMIPS4350 V3.1 @400Mhz
- RAM: 64 MB DDR
- Flash: 16 MB parallel NOR
- LAN switch: Broadcom BCM53115, 5x 1Gbit
- Wifi 2.4 GHz: Broadcom BCM4322 802.11bgn
- USB: 2x 2.0
- Buttons: 2x, 1 reset
- LEDs: 10x
- FXS: 2x
- UART: yes
Installation via CFE web UI:
1. Power off the router and make a temporal TX-RX shortcircuit on the
serial pins.
2. Power on the router and wait 3 or more seconds
3. Remove the TX-RX shortcircuit
4. Browse to http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 and upload the
firmware
5. Wait a few minutes for it to finish

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.
