Overview[edit]
This is the first FRITZ!Box from AVM ever! Initially a Bluetooth capable variant FRITZ!Box Blue was planned[1] as you can see in the left image above, which never was sold. According to AVM the market date of this first FRITZ!Box ever was 2004-03-18[2]. A cost reduced OEM version of this box is the FRITZ!Box SL. An OEM version with black casing is the FRITZ!Box 2031.
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.
Characteristics[edit]
The FRITZ!Box and the FRITZ!Box 2031 equal the 4MB AR7RD Reference-Design from TI, while the FRITZ!Box SL and the FRITZ!Box 2030 equal the 2MB variant.
Modding[edit]
Daily updated index of all FRITZ!Box firmware modding projects. Last update: 2024-11-16 08:35 GMT.
This list excludes community ripping, code raping, project killing and permanent quarrel and combat enforcing individuals.
BoxMatrix tries to be a service to the community without doing harm to anyone, and not a platform to advertize the opposite.
Mother nature will bill for all time, manpower, projects, fun and passion which was ripped from the community for sick battle.
Let this reaver suck all honest work on this planet and pretend he knew it first. Mother nature will ripp it off his bones.
And if this sick (single sided) perversion continues I have no other option than invoking the police. Please someone stop him.

Source-Scans[edit]
Daily updated index of all scanned FRITZ!Box tarballs, most of which are online. Last update: 2024-11-16 05:53 GMT.
The (main/scrpn/boot/arm/prx/atom/rtl) label in the Model column shows which CPU is meant for Multi-Linux models.
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.

GPL-Browser[edit]
Daily updated index of all fb tarballs unpacked to the GPL-Browser. Last update: 2024-11-17 05:08 GMT.
The Browse column lists the respective subdirectory of the gpl.boxmatrix.info service.
The SoC column lists the Chip-Codenames, the Model column lists the nicks of the Box-Models.
The Diff column links the comparison of the AVM Kernel to the pristine original from Kernel.org.
The Download column links the full tarball the respective directory content is extracted from.
| Browse | SoC | Arch | Model | Firmw | Diff | Download |

This is intentionally the latest source with Kernel 2.4 for research.
