      <title>The 3020 Project: a TL-MR3020 Hacking continuation</title>

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;i---beyond-the-basics&#34;&gt;I - Beyond the Basics:&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In My &lt;a href=&#34;https://0rayn.github.io/WhyNot/posts/tl-mr3020-hacking/&#34;&gt;Last Post&lt;/a&gt;, we covered the essentials: flashing OpenWrt, setting up serial access, and using a USB drive to give the TL-MR3020 some actual storage breathing room . We successfully turned a travel router into a functional, headless Linux server.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But let’s be honest… a &lt;strong&gt;headless server is boring&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I didn&amp;rsquo;t just want a box that blinks in the corner. I wanted a computer. I wanted a display, I wanted to type, and I wanted to interact with the physical world. The problem? The TL-MR3020 has no video output, no sound, and extremely limited GPIO.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>The WNH Initiative: Idea &amp; Vision</title>

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;i--what-is-the-wnh-initiative&#34;&gt;I – What is the WNH Initiative?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The WNH Initiative, short for &amp;ldquo;Why Not Hardware,&amp;rdquo; is driven by the curiosity of its members, their desire to understand the world around them, and their passion for making it a better place by repurposing old hardware into something new. In doing so, it naturally addresses the ongoing e-waste crisis and inspires others to see value in devices that would otherwise be discarded.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;i---whats-the-tl-mr3020&#34;&gt;I - What&amp;rsquo;s the TL-MR3020?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://0rayn.github.io/WhyNot/images/tl-mr3020/router.png&#34; alt=&#34;TL-MR3020 board&#34;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The &lt;a href=&#34;https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-mr3020&#34;&gt;TL-MR3020&lt;/a&gt; is a small, portable wireless router made by TP-Link. Originally designed to share a 3G/4G USB modem connection over Wi-Fi, but we want more right ?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It’s based on the &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.cdr.pl/p5484,atheros-ar9331-al3a-system-on-a-chip.html&#34;&gt;Atheros AR9331 SoC&lt;/a&gt;, which includes:&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;A 400 MHz MIPS processor&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;4 MB flash, 32 MB RAM&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;USB 2.0 host support&#xA;Despite its limited specs, the TL-MR3020 is incredibly capable with the right tweaks — and that’s what this post is all about.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;ii---whats-openwrt&#34;&gt;II - What&amp;rsquo;s openWrt:&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://openwrt.org/&#34;&gt;OpenWrt&lt;/a&gt; is a lightweight Linux distribution designed specifically for embedded devices like routers. Unlike the stock firmware that comes preinstalled on most routers, OpenWrt gives you full control over your device — with a package manager, writable filesystem, and the ability to run your own software.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
