Overview[edit]
This is a template to collect information about a future model. Little to nothing is known about it yet. It may even never get real and turn a Vapor-Model.
The FRITZ!Box 6690 Cable is the new flagship of AVM cable models. It shares the same DOCSIS 3.1 features as the 6591, with improved LAN and WLAN performance. The disadvantages compared to a 6591 are only one FON port and no FONS0 port.
Note that the information above is merged from all current Firmware versions available for this model, if there are multiples.
For a more detailed per Firmware view see the Firmware-Scans below, and have a look at the Firmware-History.

Firmware-Scans[edit]
Daily updated scans of the latest firmware for the FRITZ!Box 6690 Cable. Last update: 2021-10-19 04:05 GMT.

All dates have been converted to GMT.
No firmware to scan!
Source-Scans[edit]
Daily updated index of all scanned FRITZ!Box 6690 Cable tarballs, most of which are online. Last update: 2021-10-19 04:37 GMT.
The (main/scrpn/boot/arm/atom) label in the Model column shows which CPU is meant for models with multiple Linux instances.
The Ver column shows the Firmware-Version derived from the tarball's filename, or 00.00 if not detectable.
There's no way to find this number in the source. Click the version number to get a listing of the entire tarball.
The Kern column shows the Kernel-Version from the kernel Makefile, click it to get a listing of the kernel source.
The BB column shows the BusyBox-Version from various scan sources, click it for listing the busybox addons.
The Libc and LcVer columns show the Libc-Library and its version where it could be detected, which is complicated, no listings yet.
The CC column shows the GCC-Version from its root Makefile, click it for a listing of the gcc source in the tarball.
The BR column shows the Buildroot-Version if detectable, click it for a listing of its source in the GCC tarball.
The Date column shows the date of the newest contained file. By default this list is reverse sorted by this date.
This is no perfect method, since AVM sometimes repackages older tarballs. No better method has been found so far.
