This directory contains USB firmware for
* Inverto IDL-400s
* Grundig GSS.BOX
* Inverto IDL-400S
Installation:
- setup a DHCP server for the box ethernet MAC address
- copy satip-axe-$(VERSION).usb as idl4k.scr (rename the file) to the USB stick
- copy satip-axe-$(VERSION).fw (no rename) to the USB stick
- both files should be in the root directory on the USB stick
- plug the USB stick to the upper USB port in box
- turn on the box
- the tuner LEDs must blink (Knight Rider effect) for few seconds
- box is accessible through telnet or ssh, IP address is obtained using DHCP
- the default login/password is root/satip
- the firmware is not written to the internal flash - when the USB stick
is not in the box, the original firmware will be booted
Installation to flash:
- WARNING! The original firmware will be overwritten!
- same steps, just replace satip-axe-$(VERSION).usb to satip-axe-$(VERSION).flash
- after boot of the new version, remove the USB stick to not write
the .fw file multiple times to flash (on each box start)
Customization:
- configuration file is in /etc/sysconfig/config
- localboot script can be in /etc/sysconfig/localboot
- passwd file is copied from /etc/sysconfig/passwd
- ssh authorized_keys file is copied from /etc/sysconfig/authorized_keys
Recovery of the original firmware:
- copy idl4k.recovery file as idl4k.scr file to the root directory on the USB stick
- plug the USB stick to the upper USB port in box
- turn on the box
- box is accessible through http (web browser) - original firmware
Notes:
- there is 128M SPI flash memory in the device
- 128k for u-boot (probably)
- 4M marked as system-nand0 (probably unused)
- the original firmware uses fw1-nand0 flash region (32M)
- the satip-axe firmware uses fw2-nand0 flash region (32M)
- data block is named data-nand0 - uses rest of flash
Bugs:
- the Inverto driver do not initialize properly sometimes
(minisatip is not started)
