I don't know if the other pin is just no TX pin or that there is no software that will respond to keypresses. But, i can only read, it does not respond to keyboard presses. At least, i noticed that i got uart data when connecting to it. So i teared the device down, got to the PCB and found a RX/TX port. Two pins next to each other seemed like a logical attempt. Notice the two wires next to the pink heat gum stuff. The pcb viewed from the backside of the device. The other volume button boots to the recovery image, which is a google's own thing where you can reset the device to factory defaults if you want.So it verifies the image which it cannot do. But, while trying to boot to recovery it sais: 'Hash of data does not match digest in descriptor.'. Flashing my own recovery image is allowed and completes succesfully. When you push one of the volume buttons while booting, you boot to Fastboot mode.Something that i presume is not possible to bruteforce. Problem is: Google password protected this so you first have to upload a password.bin file before you can use the tool. You can flash firmware here or even dump firmware from it. If you press both volume buttons while booting, you get the Amlogic Worldcup device where you can talk to it with the Amlogic burn tool. The hub has a USB port under the foot.The latter gives me more control but i would have to get all hardware running in linux.īoth options give me some problems though: OR build linux from source, which is available for the S905D2 u200, which is the CPU of the Nest Hub. Maybe create my own Flutter app or something. So, my plan is to OR alter the Google firmware to run my own stuff on top of Fuchsia. Especially now that they updated the Hub to run Fuchsia OS. At first i tried to 'Cast' it as webpage to the device, but that is not fully stable. So, i hope someone can help me with my project, or else i can kiss my plans goodbye.Ī while ago i bought a Google Nest Hub (1st gen) to run my own software/dashboard.
