if you want to add a cheap (€20) color display (127x127 pixel) to your router check out http://picframe.spritesserver.nl/wiki/i … /Main_Page. There is a nice hack, how to use a digital mini photoframe as external display. there is also lcd4linux support for those foto frames!

I did see that wiki, got a device - the shift³ - hacked it and updated the wiki.  I got it running under Ubuntu no problem.

I installed Kamikaze 8.09.1 on my Asus WL-520gU, along with usb related packages (kmod-usb-core, kmod-usb-storage, kmod-usb-uhci, kmod-usb-ohci, kmod-usb-uhci-iv) as well as display related package (st2205tool).

I can't get the picframe to work with OpenWrt.
When I connect it I get the following (dmesg | tail):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
hub.c: new USB device 00:03.0-1, assigned address 2
scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
  Vendor: SITRONIX  Model: MULTIMEDIA        Rev: 0.09

/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: unknown partition table
WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

It talks about device sda but there is no /dev/sda.

There is /dev/discs/disc0 that is a link to /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0.
There is a block device called disc in there.

I tried running phack -m with various combinations of the above devices and even tried creating symlinks such as /dev/sda so that I could use that on the commandline.  Nothing worked so far.

All I get is "No photoframe found there".

Any ideas?

hey paulie

i did the original makefile for the st2205 tool for owrt. the best would be to update the package to the latest stable version (v1.4.3), which contains quite a lot of bugfixes, check http://www.neophob.com/serendipity/inde … t2205.html.

the rebuild the package.

the other issue may be the automounter script, look out for a blacklist of device id, because the photogframe can not be mountet like a regular disk...

hope this help, cheers

Thanks.  I'll give it a try after I figure out how to set up the environment for cross-compiling this stuff.

did you make any progress?

I have one that I'm working on....an old sentronix st2205 christmas ornament working on Ubuntu.

Playing with owrt now.

i don't know if anyone is tracking this but I have got my "Christmas Ornament"  SITRONIX MULTIMEDIA 1.5 inch LCD working on ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT (bleeding edge, r26316).

The basic steps are:

1. I followed these steps as a guide.
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,2435

2. I used the Oracle VM on a Widows 7 machine with current version of UBUNTU LTS.  I chose lcd4linux making sure I selected the st2205 driver to be compiled.

3. I selected the st2205tool.

4. After completed  I installed the new build.
I found this sites helpfull; http://wiki.fon.com/wiki/F2_picturefram … e_Fonera_2, http://picframe.spritesserver.nl/wiki/i … frame_Wiki.

5. I used this lcd4linux.conf for the initial run. Note it needs a lot more work.  Use with caution.
I give full credit to all contributors as I am still learning.

6. This is all working on a DVA-G3810BN with a DSL-2740B squash profile.

Hope the info helps someone.

Yeah, I had no time.  It's in my pile of half-started projects, right next to the pile of half-finished projects.
Thanks for the info though.

Sounds like how I do things.

~john

can some one explain this to me in layman's terms I installed lcd4linux but I didn't see the driver for  st2205
thanx
