Does anyone know anything about the Camnex efr@me (efw209a)?

There is firmware available for download and appears to be Linux, from my limited knowledge.

Could it be CEIVA based?

FYI, the product info and FW pages are here:
camnex.net/i-39-eFrame_12_1_Digital_Photo_Frame.html
and
camnex.net/cp-3-ManualsDrivers.html#frame

nice work. I’m looking to do this to some of the smaller (keychain size give or take) frames. fingers crossed I find a way to do it to some of the least expensive ones. I’m working on a project that will require a lot of them.

Hi, I have a LG PF391 picture frame. The standard firmware really lacks of features. I’m looking for some open source alternative, even a hardcore version would be better than this.

Thanks to all of you for your work!

I’ve got a frame that I’d like to hack, to get rid of the date that it superimposes on the pictures. No idea if it will be possible!

@Charles.. The not so good thing about these frames is that they are System on Chips(SOCs). They develop everything as a one chip solution and program the chip( which maybe one time, I’m not sure). I was unable to a find serial terminal in any of them. But using the hack done by sprite, like the keychain displays, you can upload a fresh hacked firmware.

These are some nice hacks, is there any possibility of your doing a serial terminal from a cheap photoframe, for things like routers, tivos, and or other embedded devices? I would think that some of them already have serial interfaces, but lack alphanumeric sets (maybe they have them?) and might just need a keyboard and connectors along with firmware hacks.
