I have a discontinued Lululemon MIRROR smart display. Help me plan how to safely dump its firmware, identify the main board and display controller, and set up a serial console. Ask me for the board markings and photos before suggesting any changes.

Story

Samraaj Bath posted that Lululemon acquired a smart mirror company for $500 million and later discontinued the product. He bought a unit secondhand on Facebook Marketplace for $200 with the aim of hacking it.

The source is a short social post with a video. It does not describe the internal changes, the software used, or the final result, so the details of the hack are not documented here.

The appeal is the object itself: a mirror-format fitness display that was sold as a premium product and then left without support, now in the hands of a hobbyist who wants to see what it can do.
