How to build an image for DM500+?

**jansenjw** · 3rd May, 2008, 09:15 PM

Hi
I downloaded the CVS for dreambox and was able to create an image for DM500, 7000 and 5xwhatever. Does anyone know what parameter is required for prepare to build a DM500+ image?!?!
Thanks!

I am trying DM500, however flashing a DM500 image over a DM500+ will result in a failure (fast flashing red light after power on).

Btw, 3 packages are missing in the makefile:
-reiserfs
-ungif
-u2fstools (or something)
Solution is to Google for the exact filename and manually update the Makefile
1 search for wget statement
2 search for the package name
3 replace with a working link

im on my phone just now so cant research this but 500+ images are enigma2 and 500 images are enigma1 so you cant create a 500+ image in the same way. im sure u'll need to use 'open embedded' to build it, same with 600 & 7025 images. i'll post up some tuts as soon i get time.

Little mistake - DM500+, DM600 and DM 7020 is enigma1 boxes. DM 7025 and DM 800 is enigma 2.

You need install Open Embedded to build image for dm 500+. You can use this script for easy install. Some time ago i test it with Kubuntu 7.10, all work good.

Thanks for the hint, I will try it. However all major distribs like PLi and Gemini provide a DM500+ image as well. Are these all openembedded!?

Yeh you're right, enigma1 OE. Sorry!

I have a guide on my linux machine but not been able to get on it yet, will post up when I can.

Yes, all 500+ and 600 images are make using OE.
