Custom firmware needed for Samsung legacy - willing to pay generously

Post by mugen5 »

Hello all, I am a digital signage consultant and one of my customers has 200 of these screens:

https://displaysolutions.samsung.com/di ... 76/OM55D-W

Samsung OM55D-W running Orsay (aka SSSP2)

Unfortunately, the signage software they want to use needs Chromium v80 (or higher), and the Chromium version on this model is v32. Samsung are obviously not interested in providing new firmware for this legacy device.

If someone can either tell me how to do it or do it for me, my client would be willing to pay for your services.

Are these rootable? On my H-series I just discovered an interesting browser, you can start it with:

Code: Select all

export DISPLAY=:0
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mtd_exe/Webkit
/mtd_exe/Webkit/run_mini.sh <url>
Optionally use:

Code: Select all

export MINI_BROWSER_UI=y
Before running the script, it will provide some UI, otherwise the browser is full screen.

If you do not provide a URL, it will load Google. Given its directory structure, I think it should be possible to build newer versions of these libraries and run the whole thing from another directory structure.

Note that this might give you a newer version of WebKit, not Chromium's Blink.

To make the URL font display correctly, this helps:

Code: Select all

export PANGO_RC_FILE=/mtd_exe/Runtime/pango/pangorc
