Update: Have three DP180 displays up and running. Two based on openwrt routers RS Pro and wrt160nl. The other on RPi raspian 3.6.11. Up for two days and no problems so far. Displays seem solid. ~johnby johni - Displays
Hi superelchi, Thanks, it stands to reason but I wasn't sure. The thing is I can flash the same original dpf-dump to any of the four units I have so it agrees with your findings. I could still have missed one dpf_dump as I was busy trying all sorts of things. Probably more finger problems than anything else. What do you think of the picture I posted above on the display and theby johni - Displays
Here is a setup that I used on a WRT160nl. It is running Gargoyle with openwrt-dpf_r1184-2.tar installed. The DP180 provides wireless and Eth0 data, etc. I have included the lcd4linux.conf also. I use this in wireless repeater mode to connect to the subscriber dsl wireless modem from my local Telco. I hope someone can use this and it will quickly get them going; part of payback for allby johni - Displays
I made a mistake on the pearl unit......ignore. ~johnby johni - Displays
Thanks superelchi. Unfortunately, I lost track of which one was the original. It seems I can flash these firmware back and forth between units. It was detecting the memory flash type where it hung. If I get another unit I'll update the factory firmware and post. ~johnby johni - Displays
A quick heads up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There seems to be differences in between these DP180! I used SPI Programmer from Pearl_DPF_Hackfin. I just flashed my second new unit and all text and images are upside down and backwards. Flash ID was 25VF080b. It flashed ok otherwise. Further update on this: I flashed back the factory backup image from the original unit....then re-flashedby johni - Displays
I can confirm at this time that this version now works on a wrt160nl. I used an existing Openwrt Attitude Adjustment, r35864 and package lcd4linux-dpf_r1184-2_ar71xx_MPD2.ipk provided by member dddesign and it worked. I'm still having issues building my own package. Thanks again for the support superelchi and dddesign. ~johnby johni - Displays
It works! Thanks, your the man. I tried all the functions and they seem to work. I will be trying this on openwrt router (wrt160nl). I have used the st2205 type frames on it on. I have to build the software next. The profile in landscape is nice. Thanks again for your efforts. I'll post to this note my results once I get the lcd4linux.conf configured. ~johnby johni - Displays
First, thanks for the update. I get the two googly eyes! (cute). I used SPI Programmer to flash it. The display works but it shows in landscape mode with the right hand side truncated by about 20% and blank or colored pixels. My impression is it would all be ok in portrait mode. I checked the various menu items and I can't see anything to switch from landscape to portrait. Otherwiby johni - Displays

Thanks for the reply superelchi. Looking forward to the addition. I hope to do some things with it. I have two units and the Progspi works flawslessly on it. Also thanks for the support, great work. ~johnby johni - Displays
I have this Coby dp180. It is 1.8 inches in size. 128 by 160 pixels. I can not find any information on it. It appears to be an ax206 type unit. I used hackfin on it to recover dump from one unit and flashed it to another unit. If anything can be done it would be great. ~johnby johni - Displays
