Undocumented features
There are currently some hidden features which can be useful when you get stuck with a nonfunctional frame. They are not yet exposed through the UI (it's on the todo list) but I figured it might be handy to use manually for now.
And yes, by writing this, I created an oxymoron 😄
Sometimes you end up in a scenario where the Web UI is inaccessible (don't know the IP or major crash bug). But fret not, instead of reinstalling, you can create a file called forceupdate.txt on the BOOT partition (as seen when SD card is mounted in windows). This will force the latest versions of the frame to perform boot time updates. If performed, this file will be removed after doing do.
Please note that this is no_different from clicking the "Force Update" button within the Web UI
By surfing to http://your.frame.address:7777/maintenance/ssh you will temporarily enable SSH. The service will run until you reboot the frame.
You can actually enable/disable this flag by surfing to http://your.frame.address:7777/options/debug/true, the option remains active until you manually surf to http://your.frame.address:7777/options/debug/false ... When changing this option, the frame software will restart (this is NOT the same as a reboot)
