Original project is on http://www.circuitcellar.com/avr2006/winners/AT3296.htm published in AVR contest 06 by Steven Savage. But the link is not available any more. 

The interface plugs into a PS2 keyboard port on the PC and accepts commands from the infrared remote. I'm using an ordinary DVD remote (38KHz) to control my computer.   


The original schematic is not correct, I had make the correction for PC Data & PC Clock of SV1.

Run Android 2.3 on VirtualBox

This guide is based on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)  & VirtualBox 4.1.8 running on Microsoft Windows XP.

I choose Android 2.3 because I own a Samsung GALAXY Y (S5360) hand phone which preloaded with Android 2.3. I always test the applications on my computer before I download to the hand phone.

Fun_plug is a collection of applications compiled and packaged by fonz. fun_plug is install on top of D-Link firmware. It is much more powerful than the D-Link original firmware. The following modules is install by default:

  • Lighttpd – a lightweight HTTP server for hosting web pages on the NAS
  • OpenSSH – Secure Shell (which you already used to login to the NAS)
  • Mediatomb – a UPnP media server (alternative to the one provided by Conceptronic)
  • NTP – Network Time Daemon (to synchronize the NAS’ clock with accurate time servers on the Internet)
  • UNFS3 – user-space NFS server (a file server protocol which is often used by computers running Linux)
  • NFS-Utils – NFS server (efficient file transfer and synchronization utility)

This guide is based on fun_plug 0.5 & D-Link DNS-320 ShareCenter and assumes an SATA hard disk is installing to the DNS-320 ShareCenter formatted as ext3.

This is a guide on how to restore from DD-WRT to the original stock firmware. The router that I'm using is TP-Link TL-WR1043 Ver 1.8. 
 
Download
 
Software required
  • WinSCP is an open source free SFTP client, SCP client, FTPS client and FTP client for Windows. Its main function is file transfer between a local and a remote computer. I use this sofware to transfer files from my WinXP computer to the router.
  • PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Windows and Unix platforms. I use this software to SSH to router & perform flashing command. 
 
Enable SSH
  1. Open up a browser and navigate to http://192.168.1.1 (you should use your own IP)
  2. Login in to DD-WRT.
  3. Goto Services tab and enable SSH
  4. Goto Administration/Management and enable SSH

Copy firmware file to Router

  1. Unzip the downloaded firmware file to any folder, now you have wr1043nv1_en_3_13_10_up(120210).bin in your computer
  2. Run WinSCP
  3. Transfer wr1043nv1_en_3_13_10_up(120210).bin to /tmp of router
  4. You may want to rename the firmware filename to shorter one, I renamed it to a.bin

Start Flashing
  • Run PuTTY (SSH to router)
  • Enter command as blow

cd /tmp

mtd -r write a.bin linux

The router will reboot upon flashing successfully

This tutorial show you how to install PHP on the TP-Link TL-WR1043ND router.

I assume you already have a working installation of OpenWRT on your router. Click here for more about OpenWRT.

You can refer to my previous post http://ediy.com.my/index.php/blog/item/2-openwrt-on-tp-link-tl-wr1043nd-router to upgrade firmware to OpenWRT.


After upgraded the router firmware to OpenWRT backfire, SSH to the router. For Microsoft Windows, I always use PuTTY. You can download PuTTY from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
