 Some info I found on the net abut this box.


The company that makes this stream box is uyesee you can find them at: http://www.uyesee.com.
•   OpenWrt , r1092
•   It obviously runs off the mach file of the TP-Link TL-WR703N.
•   The system has two users configured: root and airmusic.
•   The password for user "airmusic" is "123456". However you won't be able to login due to the login shell being "/bin/flase" (sic!).
•   For root I don't know the password. However the machine is able to boot in failsafe mode and I was able to reset the root password.
•   The bootloader does not react to entering "tpl" after "Autobooting in 1 seconds"
•   For audio it uses the driver from http://www.socfreq.com/i2s/i2s.zip
•   The MAC Address OUI is actually registered to the OEM and not a fake one like on many other Chinese devices

Extracted the Root-FS using Firmware Modification Kit. Checked out /etc/passwd and found:

root:KgWQIjYw4jNh.:0:0:root:/root:/bin/ash
•   SoundMate:l2xpPLw75h.6.:111:111:SoundMate:/tmp/mnt:/bin/flase


After a few hours trying to brute force the hashes and internet searches, I found this post: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=50512.

Change the username and the passwords are the same; SoundMate/123456, root/ifconfig.

With the root password you can login to the telnet port and check it out. The dmesg info shows some other interesting info: SoundMate_dmesg.

 root@SoundMate:~# dmesg
•   Linux version 2.6.39.4 (jh@srv64) (gcc version 4.5.4 20110808 (prerelease) (Linaro GCC 4.5-2011.08) ) #2 Mon Oct 27 19:51:58 CST 2014

•   SoC: Atheros AR9330 rev 1
•   Clocks: CPU:400.000MHz, DDR:400.000MHz, AHB:200.000MHz, Ref:25.000MHz
•   …
•   MIPS: machine is TP-LINK TL-WR703N v1
•   …
•   Atheros AR71xx hardware watchdog driver version 0.1.0


So there is another bonus, TP-Link TL-WR703N. There is a great community with many mods available for that router. While the SoC is the same, it comes with an audio card (analog and digital outputs)

•   I had no problem connecting to it with itunes or WMP. Once you connect it to your home network it will show up as a network renderer.

I also use the android app ( Shareon audio) to stream music to it.
