Hello, I recently purchased the tomtom go live 1000 and I very much like this device. The only problems are the glare display, the missing SD slot, and that I cannot upgrade it using linux (I don't use windows/mac at all). Tomtom support told me that they don't support linux.
I asked them to provide technical information, so I can create the supporting software for linux on my own (and maybe distribute it under an OSS license) but they refused to give me any information or to give me contact to some developer. Unfortunately, google don't seem to find any information about this topic, also. Thus, I am on my own (or, as a last resort, I return the device). The only connector available on this device is USB, so I connected it to my computer, and expected to see a mass-storage device. But there's no mass storage. The go live 1000 registers itself as an USB ethernet device (usb0), and I can successfully obtain an IP address from the DHCP server that seems to run on the tomtom. Next, I checked with nmap and found following ports to be open: - on port 22 a dropbox ssh server is running, which seems to accept public key authentication only. So without the private keys (or some vulnerability), there don't seem to be any way to communicate. - on port 80, some unknown http server is running. But all I could get from this server was error 403 or error 404, both not very helpful. Now I'm a little bit stuck: - Wine don't seem to be an option, since it don't forward USB devices to the windows-application. - Virtualization don't seem to be an option, since I would need a windows license. Any ideas how I could proceed from here? Or should I better choose to return it since there's no way for me to upgrade it?
