SamyGo virtual drive MOD

Post by pohybel »

I do not take any responsibility if TV bricks, hack is available "as is".

Tested on:
- UE40D6750
- UE32C6000

Now available for D-series and C-series TVs

FOR ARM PROCESSORS ONLY!

It took me months to figure out that you may create more than one SamyGO virtual drive. However every one of them has the same name and handling them wasn't "user friendly". So, I decided to change it and I hacked a little bit g_file_storage driver.

How to install hack (adjust paths to your environment):
- Download and unpack attached file
- backup /mtd_rwcommon/widgets/user/SamyGO/SamyGO/lib/modules/2.6.30.9/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/g_file_storage.ko
- overwrite g_file_storage.ko with unpacked version
- go into /mtd_rwcommon/widgets/user/SamyGO/SamyGO/etc/init.d/
- find 02_04_vusb.init and rename it to 02_04_vusb.init.dis
- Edit 02_04_vusb.init from unpacked file and set your drives (separated by semicolon), eg
DRIVES="Movies;Laptop;Phone;QNAP"
You may create max 8 drives, and drive name may contain max 16 characters (driver restrictions)
- copy 02_04_vusb.init to your TV to /mtd_rwcommon/widgets/user/SamyGO/SamyGO/etc/init.d/
DONE! Patch has been applied. Reboot your TV. You should see 4 SamyGo virtual drives (if you haven't change 02_04_vusb.init).

What next?

Check your /dtv/SGO.env file. You should see MOUNTH_PATH* variables:
MOUNT_PATH1="/dtv/usb/sda"
MOUNT_PATH2="/dtv/usb/sdb"
MOUNT_PATH3="/dtv/usb/sdc"
MOUNT_PATH4="/dtv/usb/sdd"
This are root folders of your virtual drives. You may mount there whatever you want. In my case I have mounted movies from my PC, few folders from laptop (few shared folder mounted to one virtual drive - in subfolders), phone's SD card (to watch photos directly on tv without DLNA) and my network storage (QNAP).
You may check it on photo:
Image
All 4 USB drives are SamyGO virtual drives.

To developers:
Right now additional parameter is required during insmod of g_file_storage.ko: "model". It should contain array of models of drives separated by comma. It should contain at least one model.
Example
insmod $MOD_DIR/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/g_file_storage.ko file="/dtv/vusb1,/dtv/vusb2,/dtv/vusb3" model="Movies,Laptop" <= third model is omited so default will be used (SamyGo Virt)

Take look on my mount file:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#04_04_samba.init

. /dtv/SGO.env

do_mount()
{
  M_PATH=$MOUNT_PATH1
  echo "Mounting $M_PATH" >>$LOGFILE
  mkdir -p $M_PATH
  mount -o user=my_user,password=my_pass "//10.0.0.72/Movies" $M_PATH 2>>$LOGFILE

  M_PATH=$MOUNT_PATH2/Mediacenter
  mkdir -p $M_PATH
  echo "Mounting $M_PATH" >>$LOGFILE
  mount -o user=my_user,password=my_pass -t cifs "//10.0.0.2/Mediacenter" $M_PATH 2>>$LOGFILE

  M_PATH=$MOUNT_PATH2/Movies
  echo "Mounting $M_PATH" >>$LOGFILE
  mkdir -p $M_PATH
  #use prefixpath if you want to mount just subdirectory from your shared drive
  mount -o user=my_user,password=my_pass,prefixpath=download/movies -t cifs "//10.0.0.2/E" $M_PATH 2>>$LOGFILE
  
  M_PATH=$MOUNT_PATH3/Photos
  echo "Mounting $M_PATH" >>$LOGFILE
  mkdir -p $M_PATH
  #use prefixpath if you want to mount just subdirectory from your shared drive
  mount -o user=my_user,password=my_pass,prefixpath=DCIM/Camera -t cifs "//10.0.0.5/sdcard" $M_PATH 2>>$LOGFILE

  M_PATH=$MOUNT_PATH4
  mkdir -p $M_PATH
  echo "Mounting $M_PATH" >>$LOGFILE
  mount -o user=my_user,password=my_pass -t cifs "//10.0.0.1/Mediacenter" $M_PATH 2>>$LOGFILE
}

case $1 in 
	start)
    #TODO: lsmod - check if already loaded
    insmod $MOD_DIR/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko
    do_mount
    ;;
	stop)
    ;;
	status)
    ;;
	*)
    echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}" 1>&2
    exit 0
    ;;
esac
@SamyGo developers
I've noticed that oryginal g_file_storage.ko has ~35Kb and the one compiled by me ~200Kb. Could you please write how can I make this file smaller? I dont have experience with "Make" files and C compilers - I am Java developer and I've started learning C because of SamyGo MODS :)

Yeap, somebody has to recompile g_file_storage for C-series. I've enclosed source code file in first post.

Could someone recompile this for c series? please
I have no idea what i've to do for recompile this driver but i think that with the source code posted is easier.
It is a very useful mode
Maybe there is another ways to fake more than one vusb?
I like this mod because is very customizable and simple

Could you please write which model exactly you have? I'm not promising anything but if I find some spare time to configure toolchain for C-series, I do it.

Btw, I have question to You. Where can I find such log file as you posted? I'm looking for it for some time but I can't find it :oops: .

Hi my tv is ue32c6000 but fortunately has a valdeuc fw and valencia board so now is turned into a c6900 i have activated pvr internet@tv guideplus animated menu and wireless remote (all this function aren't avaiable natively for c6000).
It has an arm processor

Code: Select all

/ # cat proc/cpuinfo
Processor       : ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l)
BogoMIPS        : 798.72
Features        : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 7
CPU variant     : 0x2
CPU part        : 0xc08
CPU revision    : 2

Hardware        : Samsung SDP92 Evaluation board
Revision        : 0000
Serial          : 0000000000000000
i've samygoextension for t-valdeuc and when i try to start your scripts i got these message from shell on telnet connection.
for the log you have to estabilish a telnet connection to your tvs
find SamyGo/etc/init.d folder where scripts are stored (you probably have it in mtd_rwcommon...)
select the script 02_04_vusb.init
use this command

Code: Select all

./script 02_04_vusb.init start
./script 02_04_vusb.init status 
and this shows the log.
the source code and the toolchain from c series are available on http://opensource.samsung.com/
but i'm not expert in compiling so i ask help here.
Great job you mod is very useful.

I'm not sure which source code should I use. I took the one for c6900. I recompile g_file_storage for it. Check it and give us your feedback. If it not work, I will try source code for c6000

Aaaahhhhhh yes...That's why I could not find it. Telnet is not available on D-series :)
