Overview
"2976484100" appears to be silkscreened on the board.
Note: There are currently multiple FCC IDs which purport to
- be for the R7500: PY314100258 and PY314300288.
Per the FCC photos..
- The NAND flash is marked w/ 4EE17 NW360 (FBGA code NW360):
Hardware
According to these slides (referenced at the SmallNetBuilder link below),
- this device is using a dual-core processor running at 1.4 GHz.
This would indicate that it is not using Broadcom's BCM4709,
- but more likely a Qualcomm Atheros IPQ8064
- (w/ a noted max. clock of 1.4 GHz, per Anandtech)
- ... or perhaps a Marvell Armada XP/375/385.
