How to install enigma 2 to ipbox 9000HD


We will need the following:

1) null modem cable

2) a usb stick.
I used this stick
Kingston DataTraveler 1GB
http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/921/usbstickyd4.jpg

3)The programme PuTTy isi freeware and you will find it here:

http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty-0.60-installer.exe

4)The programme KCC for kathrein

http://www.upload-drive.com/4117/KCC2_1b_rar

5)The Enigma2_SifTeam_Cuberevo image for Ipbox 9000 HD

Installation guide:

1) We install uboot 1.3.1 and higher

2) We turn off the ipbox 9000 from the on/off switch and we connect the null modem cable.

3) We install the Putty programme and start the programme. Look at the bellow picture:
http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/8996/puttyfa0.jpg

4) We select serial,speed 115200 and at serial line we put the com we use. Then we push open.

5) Then the bellow picture will appear at our PC.
http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/1733/consoleir4.jpg

6) At the same time we switch on our Ipbox 9000, press ctrl + Z at our keyboard. Continue hitting ctrl + Z .
If you did it right, then at putty?s window it will appear the following prompt:
cuberevo>
If not, switch off your receiver open again putty and do again 4), 5),6).

7) At cuberevo> we copy paste the following (Don?t forget to customize the bellow settings to your network environment. ipaddr is the ip of your decoder, serverip is the ip of your nfs-server, gateway is your gateway ip, netmask is the mask of your home-net):


setenv menu_1 'setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.5;setenv serverip 192.168.1.6;setenv gateway 192.168.1.1;setenv netmask 255.255.255.0;setenv bootargs "console=ttyAS1,115200 panic=3 bigphysarea=10240 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/root/Desktop/root rw rootpath=/root/Desktop/root ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000 init=/bin/devinit";setenv bootcmd "nfs a5ff0000 192.168.1.6:/root/Desktop/root/boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";saveenv;boot'

Push then enter and the cuberevo> prompt will appear again.
Do the same also with:


setenv menu_2 'setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.5;setenv serverip 192.168.1.6;setenv gateway 192.168.1.1;setenv netmask 255.255.255.0;setenv bootusb "run bootargsusb;usb reset;ext2load usb 0:1 a5ff0000 boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";setenv bootargsusb "setenv bootargs console=ttyAS1,115200 panic=3 bigphysarea=10240 root=/dev/sda1 rw rootdelay=10 init=/bin/devinit ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000";setenv bootcmd "run bootusb";saveenv;boot'


setenv menu_3 'setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.5;setenv serverip 192.168.1.6;setenv gateway 192.168.1.1;setenv netmask 255.255.255.0;setenv bootusb "run bootargsusb;usb reset;ext2load usb 0:1 a5ff0000 boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";setenv bootargsusb "setenv bootargs console=ttyAS1,115200 panic=3 bigphysarea=10240 root=/dev/sdb1 rw rootdelay=10 init=/bin/devinit ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000";setenv bootcmd "run bootusb";saveenv;boot'


setenv menu_4 'setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.5;setenv serverip 192.168.1.6;setenv gateway 192.168.1.1;setenv netmask 255.255.255.0;setenv bootargs "console=ttyAS1,115200 panic=3 root=/dev/mtdblock3 bigphysarea=1500 ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask quiet";setenv bootcmd "bootm a0060000";saveenv;boot'


saveenv

8) When all is done well, at putty?s console we will get the message:

U-Boot 1.3.1 (Jun 11 2008 - 15:53:39) - stm23-2008-03-19

9) now you can restart your decoder and press the relative remote controller's button for 5 seconds to start the image you want:

Press Button 1: start your image using nfs-server
Press Button 2: start your image using usb pendrive if you don't have a SATA hdd
Press Button 3: start your image using usb pendrive if you have a SATA hdd
Press Button 4: start your original flash image in the decoder (DGStation's original firmwares and images based on them)

10) We install KCC.
Start KCC and set the following:
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/3028/kccme1.jpg

Type your Ip adrress, username and password at the fields that been showed at above picture.
Make a test Connection if all is OK.
Then press at KCC toolbar the Experts button.


Here we see our usb stick as sdb.
http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/7420/kccexpertsye3.jpg

Make right click at your mouse on usb?s /dev/sdb and the a menu window opens. We select new partitioner. We make 2 new partitions. The first one must be 512 mb at ext2 label and we name it XSYS1. The second partition will have the rest of usb size. Select ext2 label for it and name it XSYS2.
Close KCC. Unplug the usb stick from receiver and place it again.

11) Open a ftp programme. And copy paste the enigma2_cuberevo.tar.gz to
/mnt/usb/usb0

12) Open telnet and write:

cd /mnt/usb/usb0

tar xzf enigma2_cuberevo.tar.gz

mv ./release/* .

(At the second command, you will wait long)

13) Switch OFF the receiver.
Switch it On again and press the relative remote controller's button for 5 seconds to start the image you want:

Press Button 1: start your image using nfs-server
Press Button 2: start your image using usb pendrive if you don't have a SATA hdd
Press Button 3: start your image using usb pendrive if you have a SATA hdd
Press Button 4: start your original flash image in the decoder (DGStation's original firmwares and images based on them)


14) First time the booting for Enigma2 will take about 10 min.

A good thing about flashing this image is, when you have tried it, you just press the number 4 button for 5 secs when switching box on, and it boots your original image.

It looks good, but it only allows scanning of hotbird at the mo... I think that when the official working version comes out, it will be the image to beat.

P.S. the Splash screen is superb.

Not entiry true my friend,,,, use latest openboxedit ( latest dreambox edit ) and send a decent satellites.xml to the box ( remember tell dbe your using new enigma2 settings ) and you can use any satellite.

Which combination?.... yes enigma2 is available, but not for a beginner user,, only supports 1 dvbs2 tuner,,, and no cable support yet.

If you need uk keys for NLB,, ,, use any dreambox pack!!
the keys are related to EMU,,, not the box itself.

I found an old dm600 image Satman and i took the satellite.xml file, used FlashFXP to ftp it to /var.tuxbox. It works a treat, but its seems to take a lot longet scanning than normal images do.

did you FTp to your box using a flash tool , like FlashFXR or Dreambox Control Centre. ?

download the Enigma2 image , from the images section in here.
Unzip it and copy the tar.gz file to the destination that Sotiris said. /mnt/usb/usb0
it works if you put it in /mnt/usb folder as well, just remember when you telnet the box in number 12. change the cd /mnt/usb/usb0 to above. missing the /usb0

Hello,

just tried to install the image but enigma2 doesn't boot. I used the CIe2T_ALL.tar.gz Image but this shouldn't be the problem

i did everything like it was in the description and also get no error message. I updated the script with my ip-box adress (192.168.1.21) und pc-adress (192.168.1.36).

here are the statements:
setenv menu_1 'setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.21;setenv serverip 192.168.1.36;setenv gateway 192.168.1.1;setenv netmask 255.255.255.0;setenv bootargs "console=ttyAS1,115200 panic=3 bigphysarea=10240 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/root/Desktop/root rw rootpath=/root/Desktop/root ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000 init=/bin/devinit";setenv bootcmd "nfs a5ff0000 192.168.1.36:/root/Desktop/root/boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";saveenv;boot'


setenv menu_2 'setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.21;setenv serverip 192.168.1.36;setenv gateway 192.168.1.1;setenv netmask 255.255.255.0;setenv bootusb "run bootargsusb;usb reset;ext2load usb 0:1 a5ff0000 boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";setenv bootargsusb "setenv bootargs console=ttyAS1,115200 panic=3 bigphysarea=10240 root=/dev/sda1 rw rootdelay=10 init=/bin/devinit ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000";seten v bootcmd "run bootusb";saveenv;boot'

setenv menu_3 'setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.21;setenv serverip 192.168.1.36;setenv gateway 192.168.1.1;setenv netmask 255.255.255.0;setenv bootusb "run bootargsusb;usb reset;ext2load usb 0:1 a5ff0000 boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";setenv bootargsusb "setenv bootargs console=ttyAS1,115200 panic=3 bigphysarea=10240 root=/dev/sdb1 rw rootdelay=10 init=/bin/devinit ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000";seten v bootcmd "run bootusb";saveenv;boot'

setenv menu_4 'setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.21;setenv serverip 192.168.1.36;setenv gateway 192.168.1.1;setenv netmask 255.255.255.0;setenv bootargs "console=ttyAS1,115200 panic=3 root=/dev/mtdblock3 bigphysarea=1500 ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask quiet";setenv bootcmd "bootm a0060000";saveenv;boot'

saveenv

with the KCC I created two partitions on my 4GB USB-Stick and extracted all files onto mnt/usb/usb0 and when I type ls in this directory I can see the extracted files.

But when I restart my receiver I can press the Button "3" as long as I want but no enigma boots.

What did I do wrong?

@ Patrick83

i never tried that way, i always do it this way, once you do it, its 10x easier from then on. http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f95/how-install-enigma-2-ipbox-9000hd-11407/#post63706


TBH there is not much on E2 at the moment, i put it on but the cams that are available for it , only Camd3 seems to pick up channels ( only FTA ) i may add.

It does have incubuscam but i am not sure if it is ready yet to be able to use for its purpose yet.

Thanks for your replay on christmas,

actually I followed the description that is pretty good but as I mentioned it doesn't work. the usb-stick has two partitions, both ext2, the image is correctly decompressed and the setenvs are modified with my IP-Adresses. what can be the mistake?

aftermath
27th December, 2008, 11:41 AM
are you holding down the "3" button on remote for 5 seconds when switching on, thats if you got a Hard drive installed.

or the "2" button if you dont have hard drive.

several / finaly made it from SifTeam E2 image file /flashed it over nlb last version / I have hdmi / interesting - first 2 times hanged on showing green screen with errors but on 3rd went through and I finaly get into it /now will start from beginning / want to get it on hdd with multiboot / it seems my serial connection isnt working with putty - ctrl-z doesnt make connection / i tried with telnet and was partly successful but still not sure if I make right changes to setenv 2, 3 and 4

aftermath
28th January, 2009, 10:23 PM
First time you install E2 you need to have a scart connection and not HDMI thats why you maybe getting the green screen.

with the putty part it will take a few goes to get it right , you have to hit the ctrl - z at the correct time when it starts.

I dont either, but i get a few lines that show text after the saveenv part

Its not easy to set up an E2 image if you have not used programmes like Katherein Control centre, Putty and FlashFXP.

the guide in post number 1 is the easiest tut i have seen on any forum and believe me ive tried them all.

Its worked every time for me no problem.

so i can only suggest keep trying post 1 from the start and read it carefully,
I have read many times that certain USB sticks can be the problem , ive known someone to have 2 usb sticks to work out of 6.

my way i always do from now is.Only when i want to install E2

1. Flash NLB image to HDD
2. Flash Uboot 1.3.3 using PC editor.
3. open the putty consol and copy and paste those 5 lines in 1 at a time and return.
4. Partition and format your USB stick to linux ext2 or ext3.
5. open Katherein Control Centre and hit the experts button
6. wait till a box appears saying it has mounted your USB stick ( i do 2 partitions so have usb0 and usb1
7. Open Flash FXP and ftp your image to mnt/usb/usb0 and rename it to enigma2.tar.gz
8. Open putty again and telnet the commands inpost 1 to unpack the image to the USB stick.
9. Press the relevent button on remote control to boot from Flash or USB stick


this is my basic guise and post 1 goes into a bit more detail, only i do mine in a different order.

Installing E2 to USB stick on IPbox9000HD the way i do it.

There seems to be quite a few people struggling to Flash the E2 image from a USB stick, so here i am trying to simplify it for those people.


I am using NLB image 8728 ( only because i got a full working backup )
8728 version here
http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f95/ipbox-nlb-images-11696/#post119238

Use latest one if you want here
http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f95/ipbox-nlb-images-11696/index2.html#post130844

or you can use one of the Cli images , or Sifteam ones, depends on what you want to try at the time.


1. you must have a USB stick and needs to be formatted in Linux mode, ext2 or ext3 . I use Paragon Partition Manager and a 4gb USB stick ( Kingston one ) also a ( Sandisk 1gb one ).

you can get Paragon Partition Manager here.

http://rapidshare.com/files/165377615/Paragon_Partition_Manager_9.0_Professional__Retail _.rar.


in Partition Manager create 2 partitions ( i just half the stick ), then click on format, and choose ext2 or ext3, your PC will need to reboot and will format the USB stick on startup.

Many people try more than 1 stick because not all USB sticks are compatible.

Now put the USB stick into usb port at the back of the IPbox

================================================== ===========================================

2. now we need to install u boot 1.3.3 , download from here

http://rapidshare.com/files/165278506/IP9000HD_usb_uboot_1.3.3.zip

also we need to download PC editor here :

http://rapidshare.com/files/201083923/PCEditor_1.2.49.rar

we need a USB cable ( the printer type ) the square shaped end goes in host at the back of the IPbox. and plug the usb connector into PC.
Switch on the IPbox and and keep the front power switch pressed in until you see USB UPGRADE on front LCD.

Open PC editor and get it to flash the Uboot 1.3.3 onto the IP box.

Now you can switch off the IPbox again.

3. Now we need a serial cable or a seriel to USB cable if you dont have a seriel port on your PC,
also a programme called putty, download it from here :

http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty-0.60-installer.exe

and a programme called PSPad , download from here

http://rapidshare.com/files/164638429/pspad453inst_en.rar

now this is the tricky part because the timing has to be correct.

open the programme putty and choose the connection to use, this time choose seriel connection, and COM 1 ( or whatever your COM port is ) also the baud rate has to be set to 115200.

click OK at the same time as you switch on the IPbox at the back, be quick and hit the CTRL and the Z keys on keyboard at the same time.

you need to see this command in putty : cuberevo> ( this is the curser to start from )

If you dont see this and loads of text is appearing before your eyes, switch off the IPbox and stop putty and Start this process again until you get it right.

Now we open PSPad and copy and paste these 5 lines into that.
Then we copy and paste from PSPad into putty at the cuberevo> command
after each one press enter to get back to the cuberevo> curser.

saveenv

================================================== ================================================== ==============================

After the last line " saveenv " you will see a message saying saving to flash or something like that.

There are many other ways of entering these lines into flask, some people only put in the lines they require but i am teling the way it works for me as ive tried other ways with no success.

================================================== ================================================== ===============================

4. Now we need a programme called Katherine Control Centre ( KCC ) : download from here

http://rapidshare.com/files/201091318/Kathrein_Control_Centre_1b.rar
or the latest version from here

http://rapidshare.com/files/201094132/KCC3_0.rar

i use the first one 1b version because it does what i want.

Now open KCC and set your IP address and username / password for your IP box and click on test,
it should come back with all OK, once you got the all OK, swith on IPbox so its running your Normal image.
Now press on the icon that says " Experts " KCC should open a small box and is now setting up your USB stick ( this takes about 15 mins to 20 mins )

when it gets to 100% you will get a new box appear and gives the details of your USB stick and how its formated.

================================================== ================================================== ==============================



5. Now we need a programme called FlashFXP : download from here

http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/other/8/flashfxp-v3-0-2-84/

Now we FTP to mnt/usb

you should now see 2 folders usb0 and usb1, also inside each of those 2 folders should be another folder that says " Lost and found "
if you dont see these folders then your stick is not set up properly and you need to do the KCC part again.

Once you got those folders download one of these 2 E2 images :
E2 0.2.0 beta from Tideglo
http://rapidshare.com/files/200754705/enigma2.tar.gz.gz

or the one i use, the PKT Modded version
http://rapidshare.com/files/200754707/Enigma2_PKT.tar.gz

i go for the PKT version as you can download all your addons, emu`s e.t.c from remote control, in Panel.

you need to ftp the image into mnt/usb/usb0

close Flash FXP

================================================== ================================================== ================================

6. Now we need to unpack the image onto USB stick.

open putty and choose telnet, and put in your IP address of IPbox.

now we need to put in these 2 commands

cd /mnt/usb/usb0

press return then this

tar xzf enigma2_PKT.tar.gz

or this

tar xzf enigma2.tar.gz for the other version, personally i go for PKT version.

press reurn , now putty seems to be doing nothing , but be patient as it is, this part takes about 30 mins to do sometimes.

you will know when it is done because you will see this. -sh-3.00#

================================================== ================================================== ================================

7. now ftp to your IPbox again and look in the mnt/usb/usb0 folder , you should have all the folders there to be able to boot from E2

================================================== ================================================== =================================

8. Time to boot box from USB stick, time to keep your fingers crossed.lol

switch off the box at the back then back on and keep your finger on the relevent number on remote control for about 6 or 7 seconds and let go.

Press Button 1: start your image using nfs-server
Press Button 2: start your image using usb pendrive if you don't have a SATA hdd
Press Button 3: start your image using usb pendrive if you have a SATA hdd
Press Button 4: start your original flash image in the decoder (DGStation's original firmwares and images based on them)

the blue power button will start to flash while the box says booting, after about 10 mins light will stop and the word loading will now appear.

this is when you know its working fine.

If the box stops flashing and still says booting, something has gone wrong,
re start the box and try a different number,
its normally 2 or 3 you need to use, as 4 is to boot from normal image from flash.

If it still does this then maybe download a different E2 image, or in most cases the USB stick is not compatible.

================================================== ================================================== ======================================

If you want to start again , just FTP to the box and delete all the files inside the mnt/usb/usb0 apart from the Lost and found folder,
and re ftp the E2 tar.gz image , and try from there.

================================================== ================================================== =======================================

If you want to change the boot up screen to a different picture download a few from here


http://rapidshare.com/files/201102251/Bootscreens_for_IPbox.rar

and ftp to the /boot folder the 2 files called "bootlogo.mvi" and "poweroff.mvi" and CHMOD them to 755.

================================================== ================================================== =======================================

There is a small problem when re booting so you need to apply a fix : download here

http://rapidshare.com/files/201103692/rc5_fix.zip

Remember that files in /etc/init.d/ should have chmod 755

For Sifteam e2 with PKT panel use file rcS !

For clean Sifteam E2 use file rcS2 (but reneme it to rcS and overwrite to /etc/init.d/ )

After overwrite full reboot your E2. Now after Restart GUI everything works great ;) Everything is tested :)

Btw. Today will be released new MOD of PKT panel based on latest Sifteam E2 beta 0.2.0 . Cheers

================================================== ================================================== =========================================

Also if you want to add all the sats and channels without a scan you need to follow this tut here

It is not as easy as some peeps might think to do all this, thats why i wrote it the way i do it and if you follow it carefully anyone should be able to do it...




Many Thanks to Satman, Sotiris, Vasilis, Tideglo, Dexter, zbigzbig20 ,Si , because it it wasnt for people like them , we wouldnt be where we are today with the Ipbox.

no you need to edit these lines before you put them into your boot settings in putty

server ip is your box
pc is pc ip address

also you will need your router ip address.

Great post, although I haven't tried it yet. Might give it a go tomorrow.

I can't help thinking this seems like a lot of work to update though!!

I did a lot of iPhone hacking in the early days and there are some similarities in setting the boot arguments.
Why we can't just create a USB stick with the relevant software on and boot from that to do an upgrade seems a little bit daft.
Similar to the USBCreator app that someone wrote to hack the AppleTV.

From what I have read, none of the images work particularly well , some don't support dual tuner, some dont work too well with the CS tools etc, so it strikes me that if I was wanting to try and find a stable image that did most of what I wanted, I'm going to have to go through quite a few of these complex / long winded procedure :-(

5th March, 2009, 06:16 PM
ok, I have started the process to test this tutorial out.

I am half way through downloading the necesary tools but one comment already would be I'd suggest not using rapidshare.com, they suck.

Paragon took forever, only got 30kbps, was definately rapidshares end but worse than that, because of the amount of files, I can't get everything right away cos of exceding download limit :-(

5th March, 2009, 10:03 PM
Update:

Its not gone quite as smoothly as I'd hoped to be honest.

I have concerns about the enviroment lines. Why are we entering in lines with IP addresses etc that might not be relevent to our networks?

The partitioning of the USB needs more explanation, there a few options required in Paragon partitioning that are not explained here.

I would also like to know why the usb should be partitioned up into two partitions when the instructions only copy files to one of them, is this necesary?

KCC is successfully processing the "Experts" screen but I am not getting the same results as shown in the Tutorial. Thats a show stopper at the moment.

What was the point in the first 9 lines of this tutorial (before step 1.) No-where in the rest of the tutorial does is mention anything to do with these files!?!?!?!

1. Boot your DGS image, wait to full boot.
2. Insert your USB stick
3. Telnet to your box, execute mount
4. In the list check - if the /dev/sdb1 is mounted (if is FAT probably is mounted to /mnt/usb/usb0)
5. umount it - umount /mnt/usb/usb0
6. now execute fdisk /dev/sdb (not sdb1)
7. on the prompt press p - to see current partition table
8. press d - to delete partitions, if it is only one proceed, if not - press d again and delete all partitons
9. press p again - there will be no partitons now
10. Press n - to create new partition
11. select p - primary
12. select 1
13. press enter, enter
14. press w to write changes & exit
15. You have just created linux partition on your usb stick
16. Now format this partition - mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1
17. mount formatted partition again - mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb/usb0
18. Now ftp e2 tar.gz to /mnt/usb/usb0
19. execute cd /mnt/usb/usb0
20. execute tar -zxvf e2image.tar.gz, wait few minutes to decompress all. (wait for prompt)

Hi, just got my 900hd today and i only need it to do 2 things:

1. work as a positioner... because when i enter "positioner setup" on my sifteam image it crashes with a green screen and it restarts......

2. it must be able to use cccam as client and that i heard it's pretty easy with incubuscamd.

And of course a sort of "blue panel" would be really appreciated so i wanted to install PKT.
I was trying on sifteam but after inserting stick when i exec. mount no /dev/sdb comes up....

Now i see i must have DGS... is a NLB image ok? I'm not really good at this... so if i install nlb with the usb_update.img method this will work?

aftermath
11th May, 2009, 05:54 PM
NLB images are sound mate, thats what i use also using E2, the NLB image has a blue panel as well.

Bro is using sifteam and E2 multi booting ,, and has no problems..
The green screen your getting could be a hardware issue, maybe the scart / hdmi settings not correct...

aftermath
11th May, 2009, 06:21 PM
thats correct all standard images are more or less the same..
You will need to install E2 onto a usb stick so you can boot from different images.. There is a flash version of E2 available, but ive not seen it yet , just waiting to see what bugs it has first before i try it

ciudatelu
11th May, 2009, 06:33 PM
e2 = enigma2, right?

I've had SIFTEAM and that had enigma2 but i had that problem couldn't use it to position my diseqc motor. :(

The display settings i checked them and they were correct, everything worked fine including FTA HD's just when i entered that "Positioner Setup" menu it crashed every time. I even tried with an older sifteam image.

Any ideeas on what I should do?

aftermath
11th May, 2009, 06:59 PM
try flashing just the NLB image , 9341.

that should be fine... Forget Enigma 2 for now until we establish if your motor is working correctly.

Enigma 2 settings are a lot different for DiSEqC than a normal image..

Thansk mate,

Did the suggested procedure.

1. downloaded the usb_config_revo.img
2. Ipbox went into a repeated failed booting seq.
3. downloaded the usb_uboot_1.3.2_revo.img
4. downloaded the nlb9580_9000_b3.img
5. ipbox booted correctly
6. downloaded the usb_config_revo.img
7. downloaded the nlb9580_9000_b3.img
8. ipbox booted correctly
9. telnet to box
10. Used /mnt/usb , /mnt/usb/usb0 didn't exsist
Used /dev/sda, no harddisk installed
couldn't umount, device busy

1. Boot your DGS image, wait to full boot.
2. Insert your USB stick
3. Telnet to your box, execute mount
4. In the list check - if the /dev/sdb1 is mounted (if is FAT probably is mounted to /mnt/usb/usb0)
5. umount it - umount /mnt/usb/usb0
6. now execute fdisk /dev/sdb (not sdb1)
7. on the prompt press p - to see current partition table
8. press d - to delete partitions, if it is only one proceed, if not - press d again and delete all partitons
9. press p again - there will be no partitons now
10. Press n - to create new partition
11. select p - primary
12. select 1
13. press enter, enter
14. press w to write changes & exit
15. You have just created linux partition on your usb stick
16. Now format this partition - mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1
17. mount formatted partition again - mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb/usb0
18. Now ftp e2 tar.gz to /mnt/usb/usb0
19. execute cd /mnt/usb/usb0
20. execute tar -zxvf e2image.tar.gz, wait few minutes to decompress all. (wait for prompt)
21. after decompress type, sync

11. rebooted with botton 5 pressed (USB, NO HDD)
12. IPBOX went in to cuberevo> (serial link)
13. wrote usbboot, failed no boot device.
14 tried button 2 same as button 5 ??

Is my box just a monday model? i find it a bit strange whats going on.

Thansk for the help mate, its appreciated

Best regards,

This is how I got my usb pen multi-booting with a lot of help from: bro satman aftermath & jamie-warez

Press menu> Plug-in> nlbpanel.plugin> USB Option> Format USB first then Mount USB


Telnet into box & you should see this:

umount /mnt/usb/usb0So I had to change it to this sda not sdb

fdisk /dev/sdaInput

nThis creates a new partion



pThis selects it as the primary partion



enter
enterThese set the size of the partion



wThis writes the data to the usb pen & returns this



The partition table has been altered!

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
Syncing disks.This is where i had trouble again look out for sda or sdb



mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda1This writes the file system to the usb pen best advice is set it to ext2 not ext3 & Returns this



mke2fs 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
Filesystem label=

Writing inode tables: done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done
This filesystem will be automatically checked every 34 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
mount -t ext2 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb/usb0This mounts the usb pen onto the box


cd /mnt/usb/usb0This changes the directory your working in
Now you should ftp the E2 image into mnt/usb/usb0

Back to telnet


tar -zxvf e2image.tar.gzThis extracts the file & makes a image on the usb pen.
It takes about 5 min at the end you should see something like this




usr/local/share/enigma2/radio.mvi
var
var/myepg
var/myepg/opentv
var/myepg/myepg_start.sh
var/etc
var/etc/.firstboot
var/etc/rcS_user.sh
var/etc/SIFTeam
var/binWith No errors wait till you see this


[NLB cuberevo usb0]$Then input

syncwait 30 secs

The reason mine was showing as sda not sdb is I didn't have a HDD fitted.

Remember to flash the multiboot config file into the nlb image

Thansk mate.

U-Boot 1.3.1 (Jun 19 2009 - 17:18:38) - stm23-2008-03-19
(Re)start USB...
USB: scanning bus for devices... 2 USB Device(s) found
scanning bus for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found

i'm currently booting Enigma2 SIFTEAM 050,
fixed_e2_050_pkt05a_ddtk40.tar.gz failed on first try.

Now the playing starts...

One thing that I found out is that uboot is running fdisk if it fails to see a /dev/sda2

You could search for a E2 Ghost image, it will come with the Ghost programme that does it all on your PC, then just pop the USB stick into IPbox , you will need to have u-boot loaded onto box, or you can flash the latest sifteam flash image that already has it on,

you need to press "2" in for 5 seconds to boot from USB stick
or "3" to boot from normal flash image.

It seems like all the guidelines in here are made for Windows users - have anyone tried from a ubuntu box and whats involved ? :girlshit:

This method can easily be replicated on your Ubuntu Box. Just modify the file paths to suite your system.
