Raw Blame History

This directory contains USB and flash firmware for
* Inverto IDL-400s
* Grundig GSS.BOX
* Telestar Digibit R1
Update:
- check differences in /etc/config.default against /etc/sysconfig/config
- example: diff -u /etc/config.default /etc/sysconfig/config
- since build 9 firmware upgrade may be upgraded using upgrade-fw tool
- file can be fetched directly from github
- or specified as a local firmware file directly
- the file is copied to ramfs before flashing
- the first attempt fails usually (ask Inverto), press Enter to repeat
- example: 'upgrade-fw'
- lists firmwares on github
- example: 'upgrade-fw satip-axe-201504211434-8.fw'
- fetches file from github and flashes it, but if the local
file satip-axe-201504211434-8.fw exists, it is preferred
Installation:
- set DHCP in the original firmware (not 100% required, but several
users reported that without this change the network might not work)
- 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 internal flash:
- WARNING! The original firmware will be deactivated!
- the original firmware can be turned on using idl4k.recovery (see bellow)
- same steps, but use satip-axe-$(VERSION).flash file as idl4k.scr
- after boot of the new version, remove the USB stick to not write
the .fw file multiple times to flash (on each box start); eventually
the idl4k.scr file can be removed from the USB stick to prevent
another reflash
- the firmware is written to another internal flash area than
the original firmware, but uboot is reconfigured
Customization:
- configuration file is in /etc/sysconfig/config
- put localtime file (glibc) to /etc/sysconfig/localtime
- put resolv.conf file to /etc/sysconfig/resolv.conf
- 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
- inetd.conf file is linked to /etc/sysconfig/inetd.conf
- oscam configs are in /etc/sysconfig/oscam directory
- if /etc/sysconfig/customd script exists, it is executed from init
- if /etc/sysconfig/profile script exists, it is executed at login
- writeable ftp - copy /etc/inetd.conf to /etc/sysconfig/inetd.conf and
add -w argument to the ftpd daemon
httpd:
- /media tree is exported
ftpd:
- /media tree is exported, use root/satip as login
nfsd:
- only v3 protocol is supported
- to list connected clients 'showmount'
- to list exports 'exportfs'
Minisatip config:
- you may add extra parameters to MINISATIP_OPTS= in /etc/sysconfig/config
- WARNING: use -d with unique numbers if you have _multiple_ SAT>IP servers on net
- example 1: only two tuners: MINISATIP_OPTS="-e 0-1"
- example 2: unicable: MINISATIP_OPTS="-u 0:1-1420,1:0-1210,2:2-1680,3:3-2040"
- AXE hardware specific options:
-L link adapters (identical src,lo/hi,h/v), the format is M:S (master:slave)
-Q quattro LNB config (H/H,H/V,L/H,L/V)
-X X AXE unicable/jess input (0-3)
- example 3: unicable coax in input 2: MINISATIP_OPTS="-X 1"
- example 4: quattro LNB: MINISATIP_OPTS="-Q"
- example 5: coax in inputs 1,2, tuner 3 slave to input 1, tuner 4 slave to input 2
MINISATIP_OPTS="-L 0:2,1:3"
OSCAM config:
- in /etc/sysconfig/oscam directory
- login/password is oscam/satip, http webui available at http://<boxip>:8888
- use persistent serial device names (like /dev/ttyUSB1-1.2:1.0)
- or use customized serial device names (see /etc/sysconfig/config)
Misc:
- full tuner reset - "axe-debug reset"
Recovery from the wrong configuration:
- it works with firmware build 10 and later
- for flashed firmware:
- copy idl4k.cfgreset file as idl4k.scr file to the root directory on the USB stick
- for firmware on the USB stick:
- copy idl4k.cfgresetusb file as idl4k.scr file to the root directory on the USB stick
- copy satip-axe-*.fw file as satip-axe.fw to the root directory on the USB stick
(build 10 or later)
- plug the USB stick to the upper USB port in box
- turn on the box
- the old configuration file is moved to /etc/sysconfig/config.old
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); if minisatip does not work,
you may check 'logread' for tuner initialization error (512)
or use 'dmesg' to check the lines bellow;
turn off the box for 5-30 minutes and try again...
