OctopusNet

###Prepare for Building On Debian/Ubuntu (as root or using sudo):

 >apt-get install build-essential bison flex gettext libncurses5-dev texinfo autoconf automake libtool
 >apt-get install libpng12-dev libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev gperf libxt-dev libxp-dev
 >apt-get install rsync git subversion mercurial

• Ensure bash ist default shell (Debian/Ubuntu standard is dash):

  >dpkg-reconfigure dash

and select no.

• Clone the octonet and ddvb repositories:

  >git clone -b master https://github.com/DigitalDevices/octonet.git octonet
  >git clone -b master https://github.com/DigitalDevices/dddvb.git dddvb
  >cd octonet  
  >./mk.patch

If needed replace branch (master) and repository path with your own.

###Building

Complete build (needed once)

  >./mk.all

Rebuild main firmware

  >./mk

###Installing

• Create a subdirectory octonet on a local webserver, enable directory listing.

  >cp buildroot/output-octonet/images/octonet.* <your webserver root>/octonet

On some servers a .htaccess file with:

Options +Indexes

in the octonet directory might be necessary.

• Configure your OctopusNet(s) to use your webserver as update server:

http://<OctopusNet IP>/updateserver.html

Initiate update from the OctopusNet

Note: for security reasons only private ip addresses (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168,0.0/16) are accepted

You can find details about the OctopusNet hardware, the flash memory map and the boot process in dddvb/docs/octopusnet in the dddvb repo!
