Updating Openpeak 1 devices with SSD drive - XPe - Revisit
Posted: Fri Sep 30, 2022 3:26 pm
Found a source in HKG for the small 16Gb SSD drives and flipped zif 40 pin cables that I am using for my automation touchscreens. These are tiny and fit nicely inside of the Openpeak 1's.
The Openpeak 1 was similar to the Openpeak 2. This was the device used for Telco in the cloud used by a variety of telco companies internationally and Avaya, Cisco, Verizon et al.
I still have a few O2 Jogglers but mostly have used these for my automation touchscreens / Squeezeplayers / Ubuntu boxes.
Verizon had Openpeak design a new box built in India which was un moddable and much cheaper constuction than the original Openpeak devices.
I purchased a couple of these just to get the Verizon DECT phones with it which worked with the Openframe boxes. These show a second USB sound card when booting to Linux or Windows.
Ebay for the SSD drive at $19 USD or so with free shipping Amazon for the flipped zif cables. It was difficult to find the original cables.
The SSD drive fits over the USB WLAN stick inside of the Joggler (OpenPeak1).
The Openpeak 1 labeled devices were originally Verizon / Cisco Telco and Zigbee devices. They look like an O2 except that inside there is a metal heatsink and a DECT and zigbee chip like the Openpeak 2. They also have a built in zif clip for an SSD IDE drive. No soldering required. They are labeled Openpeak on the tag and engraved in the case.
These are my main Windows based automation touchscreens that have been running now for over 10 years 24/7. They have not failed yet. I have a few configured in Ubuntu and boot up via SSD / EFI. In Windows they boot up via Seabios. I also have a few booting up with 64Gb SSD ZIF drives which are the same size.
The automation touchscreen software was originally written for Microsoft CE and runs quickly on these Jogglers.
