There is a 3 pad test point on the other size of the main board. It is 3v3 ttl serial. tx rx gnd. Solder a few tiny wires to each pad then hook up to a ttl 3v3 usb to serial ( I use the prolific ones) and open a serial terminal (coolterm etc) 115200 8N1. I did place a dab of hot glue to hold the wires in place as to not pull the test point's pads right off of the pcb. I forgot to take a picture of it first. I have another camera on order and will post some pics when it gets in.

This will drop you to a root shell.... Heres some boot messages.. The full boot messages are in the dropbox link.

There is a really annoying feature that they felt the need to leave in place. All print statements from ./App3518 program seem to spit out to the tty. And its a very chatty program. However it does give you a glimpse into some of the communications with the "MeShare" streaming video service. Observe....

The program generating all of these print statements is App3518 which I tftp'ed off of the device and posted in the dropbox link. There is also a message file which I am unclear of what it is doing.
