Has anyone made an effort to install openWrt on the Thinstation NP-N280?

CPU: ARM926EJ 533MHz
RAM: 64M
Flash: 64M or 2G
Ports: 1 RJ-45 LAN port; 3 USB 2.0 ports; 1 DC in port; 2 Audio jacks: Speaker-out and mic-in;

It looks like the same hardware as Inctel IN-M05AB

I bought one for $30 and now I am trying to get rid of the embedded Windows CE and replace it with Linux.

CPU: Pollux VR3520F (ARM926EJ-S 533MHz)
Ram: Hynix HY5DU121622DTP-D43 (512M?)
Nand flah: Samsung K9GAG08UOD-PCBO (2G)
Ethernet: DM9000AE
USB: AU6256B41-JAS-GR
Sound: Cirrus 42L52CNZ

If you look at the board in the case, there is a type-B USB port and 4 pin connector that looks like a serial port.

Is there any other device that works with openwrt and has an ARM926EJ CPU?

3.3v TTL Serial from left to right.

3.3v, TX, GND, RX

To make it UART boot you must solder 3 pin in J64 (three holes on the board) and put a jumper on the two pins closest to the CPU.

Then it will boot U-boot over the serial tty.

AT91 might be a similar platform

The discussion might have continued from here.
