The serial connector is a 3.3V connector with GND, TxD, RxD, VCC. (The eCos firmware is functionally limited, buggy, and abandoned by Netgear.) So my question is: would the fact that it runs eCos out of the box totally preclude it from running Linux/OpenWRT? Thanks, Robert. Needless to say, with Linux/OpenWRT, it could be a lot more useful than it is off the shelf. It has an Ethernet port, Wi-Fi, line-level stereo RCA (analog) audio outputs, and a headphone jack. It turns out that the MP101 is based on the ARM9 Marvell Libertas 88W8510H, which is intended for Wi-Fi access point duties, and is indeed used in some of the devices listed in the TableOfHardware. The response then was that it could not be made to run OpenWrt because the factory firmware runs eCos. The Netgear MP101 MP3 player was brought up before, in the context of somehow unbricking one using OpenWrt.
