Adrian SanabriaAt RSA, when you’re at one of the main hotels, vendors leave marketing stuff at your door or in your room.
Cisco distributed full-on video players with built-in li-ion batteries and I just now found time to dig into it.
Can I put a different video on it? Why, yes. Yes I can.
Alright, let’s start tearing open this paperboard glue sandwich and see what’s inside.
I don’t know what I was expecting, but Antarctica wasn’t it.
Pretty much what you’d expect, SBC with a lot of hot glue, a speaker, buttons, and the USB port.
The magnet on the right hand side turns the device on and off when a corresponding magnet in the cover makes contact with it.
OH, and the li-ion battery that absolutely should not go into the trash and will burst into flames if punctured.
Im betting 99% of these Cisco video pamphlets, like most disposable vapes, went straight into the trash.
As for the chips, the v100 is likely the SOC, the Kioxia is 256MB flash I think, and the ESMT chip is handling audio?
Just guesses from some quick searches
After some struggles to separate the delicate TFT from the SBC, I managed to free the board entirely, revealing the manufacturer and product model!
Some searching suggests that these things cost $10-$20 apiece

@sawaba I cannot imagine a better way for Cisco to spend their money, but thats either because I'm not very imaginative or because Cisco isn't paying me the big bucks they pay their marketing department.
