OpenLGTV: Legal reverse engineering and research of LG TVs firmware

Welcome to openlgtv project.

OpenLGTV is a collective, non-commercial project for legal reverse engineering and research of LG (Smart and non Smart) TVs firmware, which is partially Open Source.
The main goal of the project is to improve the functionalities of the TVs by adding new features, fixing bugs and providing new software.

• lgmod_s7, custom rootfs for Saturn S7 TVs
• s6_s7_modules, providing extra kernel modules for Mstar S6 and S7 TVs
• lgmod_bcm, custom rootfs for Broadcom TVs (2010 and 2011 models)
• nsu_emu, local firmware upgrade servers for Smart TV televisions

How i can contribute?

You can contribute by making pull requests to our current projects.
However, before undertaking any major modification, you should contact us (see contact us below, IRC preferred), so we can discuss about it. We're open to ideas and people willing to contribute.
NOTE: We have new work in progress projects for new Smart TVs, based on ARM (years 2012, 2013, 2014), but we're looking for some developers willing to help us with development, testing and polishing.
If you think you can help us, contact us on IRC (see below) and ask for Smx or lprot.
