WL-520gU with 1.5" digital picture frame for display

[PaulieG]

I got inspired by this hack, but I don't really need a WiFi radio. I want to connect a webcam and a small digital picture frame - keychain to the router via USB. I found some promising info in this wiki. I did manage to hack the firmware in the shift³ device and updated the wiki accordingly. I installed OpenWrt 8.09.1 on my WL-520gU as well as the kernel modules for usb (kmod-usb-core, kmod-usb-storage, kmod-usb-ohci, kmod-usb-uhci, kmod-usb-uhci-iv). I also installed st2205tool package but so far, I'm unable to get it to work (as I mentioned here). Any ideas? I'm hoping someone out there got this to work.

Any idea what format the mass storage device on the device is? You may need to install the corresponding fs kernel module, ie. kmod-fs-vfat, or kmod-fs-ext3, etc.

Thanks, I've tried that already, and it made no difference. It turns out that the device does not use a specific standard fs. michu replied to my post at openwrt forums, and he says that the device cannot be mounted like a disk. I'm afraid I'll have to figure out how to cross compile st2205tool from sources. Not sure how to set up the environment for that just yet. I hope there's some guides out there.

I have had difficulty finding good information about this process. I was able to stumble through it myself and compile a simple program, but I have not had a chance to document it and now it seems I lost my notes .

If anyone does know of a good, up to date guide for compiling your own packages on OpenWrt, please post a link here!
