Hi,
The devkit of these are usually easy to find.

Might help a LOT :-) if you post the make of the frame, or better the chipset, photos, memory details etc.. there are quite a few of these about.

You haven't told what the memories are, NAND, other or much at all.

Post up some more stuff and lets get to hacking! :)

I have a couple of key ring photo frames intended for research into DR in case any customer wanted one recovered... Ok that's the story I tell when I want to hack a device .. I am guessing you are talking about the 7" ones and the like? I have some of those too..

If you get me sidetracked into having some fun with these there will be trouble! ;-)

I expect that these devices would have an embedded Linux OS. If so, then there may be a way to telnet into it via a serial port, or perhaps there is a JTAG port.

Here is an example of such a project:

I think they ported Linux to it, but the frame wasn't running Linux to start with. it isn't really clear to me in any case.

This is another good resource:
