Submission + - Olevia + Linux = ? 2
Merlin42 writes: I recently bought a Olevia 232T. I just downloaded the updated firmware and noticed that it contained a "Linux Compressed ROM File System" which I was able to mount and explore. I was able to determine that the TV is running Linux 2.6.11 on a 32-bit MIPS processor. I suspect the TV contains at least 8 (and more likely 16MB) of flash. It also has a USB port, which is used to update the flash from a USB disk. This brings up several questions:
- Has any one else mucked with this TV, or one like it? I would love to make a more sane menu system for the TV. Of Course mucking the menu would either require assistance from Olevia or some pretty serious RE work.
- Could I get a USB NIC working on the TV?
- And if so could I get mplayer or firefox working with it? The TV is definitely not running X so doing this would probably again require assistance from Olevia or some pretty serious RE work.
- Are there any GPL issues with Olevia using Linux?
