| It looked like a hoax in the past, but now it's finally true, you can now run Enigma 2 on the UFS 910! Team Ducktales did release their proof of concept Image. |

Thanks to Satbob for the screenshots Enigma 2 is a framework for Linux receivers & is the default interface for several Dreambox receivers, like the DM800. Release notes
Team DuckTales proudly presents the first enigma2 alpha image for Kathrein UFS-910. This image should be seen as a proof of concept - there are many bugs and some hardware which is not supported at the moment. If you are a developer, and you have experience in (embedded)hardware/linux-dvb-api coding feel free to contact us - you're welcome!
To test this enigma2 image you need a running nfs server and a serial & network connection to the receiver.
1. extract the tgz file on the server and set the directory in /etc/exports for example: /nfs/target_enigma2 192.168.0.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)
2. restart nfs server
3. connect via serial console to the receiver
4. turn on the receiver and hit enter in serial console you should see the following prompt: Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 STB7100-REF>
5. customize the follwoing settings to your network environment and type them into the serial console (without the doublequotes): "set ipaddr '192.168.0.25'" "set serverip '192.168.0.1'" "set gateway '192.168.0.1'" 7. to set the bootargs also type: "set bootargs 'console=ttyAS0,115200 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/nfs/target_enigma2 rw ip={$ipaddr}:{$serverip}:{$gateway}:255.255.255.0:kathrein:eth0:off mem=64m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000 nwhwconf=device:eth0,hwaddr:${ethaddr}'" "setenv bootcmd 'nfs a5000000 {$serverip}:/nfs/target_enigma2/boot/uImage;bootm a5000000'"
where /nfs/target_enigma2 is the directory you added to /etc/exports 8. to save the settings type "saveenv"
9. simply type "boot" or restart the receiver with the power-switch. now enigma2 should boot. You can download the Image here |
