Arturia KeyStep Review – Compact MIDI Keyboard Controller & Sequencer

Purchased a couple of SoundMate M1’s for a great price to add wireless audio to area’s of our home. After a short time messing with it, I could only get iTunes to detect it as an audio source. While this is ok, I need it to work with DLNA sources from other devices. Also the web interface looked different from other images I had seen on the web. So I did a little poking around:
Downloaded an older version of the firmware and did a string and hex dump to see if there was anything interesting in them. While the string dump was boring, the hex dump revealed:
00000000 01 00 00 00 4f 70 65 6e 57 72 74 00 00 00 00 00 |….OpenWrt…..|
“OpenWrt” – Awesome start.
Extracted the Root-FS using Firmware Modification Kit. Checked out /etc/passwd and found:

So there is another bonus, TP-Link TL-WR703N. There is a great community with many mods available for that router. While the SoC is the same, it comes with an audio card (analog and digital outputs), so the firmware I have created needs to be compiled with the additional driver/s in it.

Cheers.
