You will see the power light blink orange for approximately 45 seconds. Insert the drive into the USB slot in the LCDĥ. Copy update_LCD1080CX.tgz and safe-kernel.img1 to the driveĤ. A built in browser will likely be sluggish, but fairly trivial and worth a shot.Ģ. This means that Audio (MP3, OGG, FLAC, etc) and Network/Wifi support are very doable, however video and other types of multimedia are not (Especially flash). The TX-52F480S LCD has 16MB of NAND Flash and uses a MIPS CPU.

If you feel like donating to support this project, please do! Every dollar means I can work less and spend more time on projects like this. The GPL-Violations project is now aware of it, and if we're really lucky, Westinghouse will either release the source or be taken to court. Shame on Westinghouse for using GPL'd code and not releasing the source. This firmware does not include any major changes at this time, and is purely experimental. If the flash is successful, you will see the new logo upon booting the LCD up. This is an initial firmware test build, to verify the toolchain being used yields a working firmware image. That said, there is in fact little risk of a bad flash or damaged firmware on this panel, as the built-in computer will always attempt to boot safe-kernel.img1 off of a USB drive and perform a flash, making it very difficult, if not impossible to accidentally end up with a very expensive new coffee table. Always use caution and make sure you know what you're doing. Note: Flashing your LCD or any device always presents a risk of bricking (or in this case, tabling) your device. Here's the current readme, and a bootlogo screenshot I'll be doing the first live flash on my panel a little later today, and I'll follow with screenshots and an initial release if all goes as planned. At this time however, there will only be support for the TX-52F480S 52" LCD until someone can provide me with the firmware for different models. Luckily, it seems that most, if not all westinghouse panels run Linux so any panel with a USB port should be able to support this firmware. I recently took up a bit of a side project to do some heavy firmware modification for Westinghouse LCDs, since the current firmware is rather lackluster and prone to some rather nasty bugs (HDCP key negotiation). 3/10 Update: If you'd like to get your LCD supported, upload the latest firmware here: ģ/12 Update: First builds are working! Firmware is available only by request for nowģ/25 Update: Trident has agreed to opensource the GPL components in the firmware, which is effectively everything
