OpenWode enables you to do homebrew development on your WODE device, using the OpenWRT environment as a base. It includes code examples of how to use the LCD display and joystick on the WODE, and the network support scripts used on the retail wode builds are also included. In short, you have a powerful but tiny development platform.
This archive got lost for about 10 years, after the WODE's official website was shut down. On January 6th, 2022, a user by the name "wildbomb" found it in his private archives and uploaded it once again to some filehoster.
It basically contains the bare Linux Kernel source code with all the patches required. An advice to those interested: compiling the sources may need a working virtual machine running Ubuntu 9.10. The resulting uImage binary works on a WODE running the "OPENWODE" U-Boot bootloader. This was successfully tested.
