Inside the DM800: 3rd USB port + 256MB RAM + 2nd SIM-size smartcard reader?!?!?

  • Hello there!
    My first post here.


    I am an happy owner of first DM7000-S since its born date.
    I'm an embedded linux hacker, too.


    Now i bought a DM800.
    Today i have open it to install a SATA 2.5" hard disc and i discovered some undocumented stuff inside the receiver:
    - 256MB of RAM (instead of 128MB used by linux kernel)
    - 3rd USB port (it seems powered but it seems not be detected/enabled by linux kernel)
    - embedded SIM-size smartcard reader + SIM-size smartcard (what is it?)


    Anyone can explain me more on these?


    Thx in advance

  • thx. one mistery less! :smiling_face:


    is it to avoid DB clones? who use it? i dont understand these kind of "security checks" because they could be easily skipped using patched fw/drivers.


    anyway, thank you for the reply.


    any idea about the USB connector?
