OUYA (duh)
SilenX IXN-40C Copper Chipset Cooler
NF-A4x10 Fan
Arctic Silver 7g Premium Silver Thermal Cooling Adhesive
BELKIN F5U407 USB 2.0 4-Port Ultra Mini Hub
Logitech K400 Wireless Touch Keyboard
SYBA SD-CM-UAUD USB Stereo Audio Adapter
Transcend JetFlash 600 64GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive
THE SOFTWARE:
(list to come)
The goal of this project is to improve cooling, expand storage space, have analog audio out for headphones/speakers, and be able to use a wireless keyboard with a built in trackpad... Except having it be all internal :distracted:
PROGRESS:
Weights removed and mounts dremeled flat
Tegra3 lapped
Heatsink installed
Fan installed
Fan wires spliced to originals (only for the connector really)
USB hub gutted (no case, USB cable, or USB ports)
Removed the back of the Ouya USB shield
Re-routed onboard USB to hub
Routed USB from hub back to rear Ouya USB port
Gutted Logitech unifying RF receiver
Soldered RF receiver to hub
Gutted USB DAC
Soldered DAC to hub
I've also rooted the console and installed the Google Play store. I'm not really focusing on the software quite yet though. The DAC doesn't work at the moment but I've been reading they are working on including USB audio drivers soon. I also need to get the flash drive to mount as an SD card and to do it automatically at boot before I remove the USB connector and solder that internally to the hub as well.
By the way, if you want to get a USB drive for your OUYA, this is the fastest 2.0 drive out there. I did a speed test and the results are pretty damn good.
Stock PCB
Minus heatsink and fan
USB shield removed and leads cut
USB wires soldered on
Tegra lapped and USB wires hot-glued
Holding the heatsink in place while the thermal adhesive sets. I had to trim it a bit to fit in the case.
USB hub PCB
Removing the USB ports
Leads soldered onto DAC
Hub soldered and glued
It didn't quite fit in. I ended up having to take out the weights and sanding the bottom flat
Test fit
Fan hot glued to heatsink
Wires spliced
All fits so far!
DAC soldered to board
DAC glued in place
Shot with everything installed so far
Reassembled with the keyboard I'm using
Keep checking in for more updates =)
Hello!
ReplyDeleteAwesome project you have going here.
I'm impressed that you found a good working USB audio dongle!
How do you like the audio quality from it?
I may include one if I mod my Ouya, but would want a switch to enable/disable it for HDMI audio option which I believe would be as simple as cutting power to the DAC itself.
Really great work and I love the ideas you are incorporating.
I will be sure to credit you heavily if/when I borrow your techniques for mine! :)
Correction, sorry I missed the part about the non-working USB audio.
ReplyDeleteAll that effort.
Hopefully they'll get some drivers or something.
