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:
root:KgWQIjYw4jNh.:0:0:root:/root:/bin/ash
SoundMate:l2xpPLw75h.6.:111:111:SoundMate:/tmp/mnt:/bin/flase
After a few hours trying to brute force the hashes and internet searches, I found this post: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=50512.

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.
UPDATE – Added firmware downloaded (15-1-2015). Use with caution, and comes with no warrentees: upgrade-1.1.01-A21(A.01).bin
