Sarotech abigs DVP570HD possible violation

[Peter Robinson]

Hi All,

I have a Sarotech abigs DVP570HD.

http://www.sarotech.com/english/cgi/pd.cgi?cmd=view&rno=19

When I was updating the firmware some time ago I discovered that it
runs Linux. I found this out the following way.

If you download a firmware from here (choose the Flash version not the
HDD version).
http://www.sarotech.com/english/cgi/main.cgi?cmd=570_firmware

Unzip the file, it has a update directory with a abigs.bin file in it.
If you do a file on it you get the following:

[peterr at avatar-d620 update]$ file abigs.bin
abigs.bin: romfs filesystem, version 1 9469808 bytes, named 1.14.

Under linux (I'm using Fedora 7) I can do a "mount -o loop abigs.bin /media/"

and then change to the mount share

Various ls show that its running 2.4.22-em86xx-uc0-sigma as well as
busybox and various other linux bits.

I've emailed them about it at the details on their contacts page but
never got a response.

Let me know if you want any other information.

Regards,
Peter
