Midge is a linux OpenWRT-like mini-distribution for ADM5120 based routers, such as Edimax BR-6104K:

It includes basic tools such as sh, ssh, inetd, syslogd, telnet, netcat, tftp, wget, udhcpd, vi, etc. Also midge uses ipkg package manager, which can be used for installing new software
Midge divided to 3 versions: jffs2, tmpfs and usb - difference on which root filesystem is used.
- jffs2 version uses jffs2 root filesystem (of course). It has small (~512k) initial rom filesystem, and big (~800k) filesystem for user data. It can be used on system which have some services (micro servers) and/or if you want install custom software. Advantage of jffs2 filesystem is a journal filesystem - you can do not worry about rootfs safety.
- tmpfs version uses tmpfs root filesystem. It has big (1280k) initial rom filesystem, and small (256k) data partition. It can be used on typical routers.
- usb1) version uses root filesystem on usb storage (USB-Flash, USB-HDD).
