Run whatever firmware you want on your cameras and have root access to the device. This is in early stages of testing, use CAUTION if you are unsure of what you are doing. No support whatsoever is offered with this release.
* USB gadget support, connect the camera directly to a supported router to get an internet connection, no USB Ethernet Adapter required, using USB CDC_NCM.
4. The camera will boot, then you may connect via the IP address of your device using SSH, port 22. username is root password is WYom2020. It may take a few minutes for the device to finish booting and connect to wifi, then launch the SSH server. Be patient.
## Removal
1. Delete the files you copied to the memory card. The next time you boot the camera, you will return to stock firmware.
Edit run_mmc.sh, this is a script stored on the micro sd card that is run when the camera boots. You can change the hostname of the camera, mount NFS, add ping commands, anything you like.
If a remote or app update is initiated, the camera will reboot due to the failure of the update. The firmware update should not proceed again for some time, or at all.
the next time you boot your camera, make sure your USB Ethernet Adapter is connected to the camera and ethernet. The camera has to be setup initially with Wi-Fi for this to work. After setup, Wi-Fi is no longer needed, as long as you are using the USB Ethernet Adapter. Note that using USB Ethernet disables the onboard Wi-Fi.
1. In "wz_mini" folder, there is another folder called "USB_DIRECT". Copy the file inside, named "factory_t31_ZMC6tiIDQN_USBDIRECT" to the root of your memory card and rename it to "factory_t31_ZMC6tiIDQN". This special kernel is required to enable USB Direct, the standard kernel does not work.
the next time you boot your camera, make sure your USB cable is connected to the router. Remember, the camera has to be setup initially with Wi-Fi for this to work. After setup, Wi-Fi is no longer needed. Note that using USB Direct disables the onboard Wi-Fi. Change the MAC Address if you desire via USB_DIRECT_MAC_ADDR variable.
Connectivity is supported using a direct USB connection only... this means a single cable from the camera, to a supported host (An OpenWRT router, for example) that supports the usb-cdc-ncm specification. (NCM, not ECM) If you have an OpenWrt based router, install the ```kmod-usb-net-cdc-ncm``` package. The camera should automatically pull the IP from the router with most configurations. You can also use any modern linux distro to provide internet to the camera, provided it supports CDC_NCM. enjoy!
* 04-15-22: Enable USB Direct functionality. Allows you to connect camera using a USB cable to a device supporting CDC_NCM devices to get an internet connection, no USB Ethernet Adapter required.
* 04-13-22: Firmware updates are disabled by default, there is a bug in the bootloader that corrupts the kernel partition requiring the re-flash of the camera if an update is processed and the memory card is removed before next boot. The bootloader proceeds to copy the partitions and the system will not boot unless re-flashed. pending investigation.
* 04-12-22: Updated, custom kernel loads all required items from micro sd card. System modification no longer needed.
