Firmware update via FTP - Howto

Here a small howto get new firmware updated via FTP.


1. Preparation Network

Method A (recommended):
In the router DHCP to ON, then the same in the HD1 under "Main Menu" -> "Settings" -> "Network" ... The HD1 and your PC will automatically reboot to get the correct LAN settings

Method b:
Manual setting of the LAN connection in under a) above menu
It is only the IP address and subnet important for a manual update via FTP

Example: Your router has the IP 192.168.1.1 and subnet 255.255.255.0 ... then lodge with the HD1 e.g. selbes an IP 192.168.1.111 and subnet 255.255.255.0 So
ditto then on the PC, but uses different IP ne as the router and the HD1 in the same address space ... e.g. 192.168.1.100


2. FTP Setup Connection

Used the TotalCommander as an FTP client, but there are indeed enough to others.
TC gibts here as a 30 days trial -> http://www.ghisler.com

See the FTP connection is then established as in the screenshot ... Of course you wear then add the IP of your HD1.
User root
Password is CoolStream

After "Connect" and the new software, for example Copy xxx.img "in the directory / tmp.
After the copy ftp connection can be separated again.


3. Software Updates

Menu button on the remote (FB) Press ... you get the following picture ... select "Service"

​

OK button and you should see the following menu:

now even the update mode to "manual / ftp" put

then go down to "search for software"

... OK and the new firmware should be found ... Select and confirm this ...

... The question with "Yes" or OK to confirm

... the fix is running ...

After the update, the box will restart automatically ... Have fun with the new firmware!

Manual Image Update USB CoolStream HD1

Requirements:

- La connexion to PC is via a null modem cable
- On the PC with a terminal program such as Windows specific Hyperterm, with the parameters of 115200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit.
- The FAT format USB Memory
- In the USB, the uncompressed image not zip (gz, 7u or otherwise) in the directory


Step 1

The program screen terminal see this for example:

• 1. U-Boot 2009.03-svn860 (Jun 03 2009 - 10:20:46) CoolStream HD1
• 2. Chipset information
• 3. Vendor: Conexant Type: CX2450x (Nevis) Revision: C0 Fuses: 7FFFC534
• 4. Option: 00010000 max. clock: 550 MHz Core voltage: high |
  
• 5. Clock information
• 6. MPG0: 594,000 MHz MPG1: 594,000 MHz HD: AUD 593,407 MHz: 491,520 MHz
• 7. PLL0: 432.000 MHz PLL1: 550.000 MHz PLL2: 533,333 MHz
• 8. CPU: 550.000 MHz from PLL1
• 9. Memory configuration
• 10. Start | End | Type | Description
• 11. 00000000 | 0FFFFFFF | RAM | System main memory bank # 0
• 12. 10000000 | 17FFFFFF | RAM | System main memory bank # 1
• 13. F0000000 | F0FFFFFF | FLASH | S29GL128P Spansion (128 Mbit / 8M x 16)
• 14. F1000000 | F1FFFFFF | FLASH | S29GL128P Spansion (128 Mbit / 8M x 16)
• 15. Serial number: 000-00000001 (00-000001)
• 16. Network configuration
• 17. MAC: Conexant VMAC rev. 07 address: 00-C5-5C-00-00-01
• 18. PHY: IC Plus IP101 address: 09
• 19. Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0
• 20. HD1>

Step 2

Connect the USB and type the following in the Terminal program
usb start
This confirms the entry with the following response:

• (Re) start USB ...
• USB: ehci_hcd_init ();
• HCCR init CX2450x HCor e8000100 and e8000140 hc_length 64
• 10,011 NbrPorts Register 1
• EHCI USB 1.00
• scanning bus for devices ... 2 USB Device (s) found
• scanning bus for storage devices ... 1 Storage Device (s) found
• HD1>

Step 3

Now it has loaded the image file. Next to writing should be:


FATLA usb 0 0x0E000000 mtd2.img

In the above example, the file format is mtd2.img file to load. In the terminal program, the current progress of the download is performed by a variety of factors:
We will see the progress dots

• reading mtd2.img
• .................................................. ................................
• .................................................. ................................
• .................................................. ................................
• .................................................. ................................
• .................................................. ........................
  
• 19237640 bytes read
• HD1>

The indication of bytes read in this example 19237640

Step 4

Clear the area for the image in Flash. Serve this entry:

• 0xF0480000 erase 0xF1FFFFFF

Here too, appears again with the points of progress:

• .................................................. ................................
• .................................................. ................................
• .................................................. ................................
• Erased 220 sectors
• HD1>

Step 5

The (19237640 bytes) outlined above must be divided by 4. If that is the possibility redeondara up. 19237640 / 4 = 4,809,410 th
The decimal number must now become the hexadecimal representation. This will be achieved with the Windows Calculator in scientific mode to use. 4809410 decimal 0x4962C2 are hexadecimal. This value is required for the following final step.

Step 6

To enter the terminal program:

• cp 0x0E000000 0xF0480000 0x4962C2

see

• Copy to Flash ... .................................................. ...............
• .................................................. ...............................
• done
• HD1>

At this point the Image is in Flash.

Now, to enter the Box should be "reset" from the terminal program.

for example: telnet 192.168.1.100 (change ip to your needs)

then type:
cat /dev/mtd2 >/tmp/save.img

you found the image save.img in /tmp
you can save it per ftp to your pc

after all, please delete the image save.img in /tmp or reboot your coolstream HD 1

Howto Smargo USB card reader

Information to Smargo usb card reader

The Smargo is a USB card reader that can be repeatedly connected via a USB hub to the Cooli to operate various smart about it.

In order to prepare for the Smargo CoolStream, it must be first installed on the PC, or to control the settings.

Installing the Smargo's on the PC.

Smargo without a smartcard on a PC USB port connected, it is reported that new USB hardware has been found.
Now navigate to the drivers from the download, and select the drivers for the operating system.

Should you still a Smargo lower FW version than the 1.13 have, then the Smargo erstmal will update on the latest version 1.13.

This tool uses the Smartreaderupgrade.exe,

Smargo on infected PCs> Upgrade.exe Start> Update
Now the Smargo should be updated to 1.13.


Configuring Smargos

To configure the Smargo to use the tool: Smartreader.exe

Smargo join again without a map on the PC and start the tool.
There are several configuration modes

Mode: Auto Switch / Fixed Here you can configure whether the firm Smargo literacy to use frequencies (necessary for various smart cards) or the auto-switch mode

Orgi: Visible / adjustable where it is taking fashion "fixed" set

Kernel: Normal or Dreambox kernel
(For me it is running at Cooli with Normal)

Fashion T-T-mode is protocol for transmission. The protocol, such as the smart card reader responds.

T = 0 -> character protocol
T = 1 -> block protocol

Will need different cards with different protocols:

Crpytoworks, Conax, Seca, ***, Viacces, Nagra use T = 0
Irdeto use T = 1
What one must not forget here, Newcs.xml adjust accordingly:
Cryptoworks, Conax, Seca = even
***, Viaccess = odd
Irdeto, Nagra probably does not matter, because T = 1 (Block Protocol)

EGT stands for "Extra Guard Time"
This is the time that can "be set between" two consecutive characters in the transfer of data to the card.
I've set EGT = 0 and running.

After all this was Configures click on "apply", the settings are transferred to the Smargo.
Thereafter, the Smargo can be connected to the Coostream, and the card server to start.

Unpack & Repack mtd image

an mtd2 jffs2 image can be unpacked and repacked with a few commands

use the provided scripts as a sample, adjust at your needs

remember that both scripts are provided as-is, with no warranty at all

in order to run the scripts you need a linux box and a few modules related to jffs2 filesystem and block devices. Check your system and kernel configuration for buil-tin or modules support related to the needed modules/commands/filesystems.

consider this as a base (alfa-beta----whatever!), all of this refers to mtd2 (jffs2) image updates

unpack-img.sh

#!/bin/sh

if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
 echo "use: unpack-img.sh <image> <folder>"
 exit
fi

echo "unpacking image: "$1
gotit=$(file $1|grep -c jffs2)
if [ $gotit -ne 1 ]; then
 echo "not a valid jffs2 image file"
 exit
fi

echo "==================================="
echo "cleanup target folder"
rm -rf $2
echo "create target folder"
mkdir $2

echo "==================================="
echo "cleanup temp folder"
umount tmp.jffs2 &>/dev/null
sleep 1
rm -rf tmp.jffs2 
echo "create temp folder"
mkdir tmp.jffs2

export loop=$(losetup -f)
echo "==================================="
echo "setting up loop device: "$loop
losetup $loop $1

echo "==================================="
echo "loading modules"
modprobe jffs2
modprobe mtdblock

echo "==================================="
echo "setting up block device"
modprobe block2mtd block2mtd=$loop,131072

sleep 5
echo "==================================="
echo "mounting jffs2 image on: "$2
mount -t jffs2 -o ro /dev/mtdblock0 tmp.jffs2

echo "==================================="
echo "copying data to target folder"
cp -a tmp.jffs2/* $2
echo "copying hidden files (.) to target folder"
cp --recursive tmp.jffs2/.[a-zA-Z0-9]* $2

sleep 1

echo "==================================="
umount tmp.jffs2
rmmod block2mtd
losetup -d $loop

echo "done!"
echo "<"$1"> copied to <"$2">"

build-img.sh

#!/bin/sh

if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
 echo "usage: build-img.sh <folder> <image>"
 exit
fi

echo "building image from folder: "$1
gotit=$(file $1|grep -c directory)
if [ $gotit -ne 1 ]; then
 echo $1" -> not a folder"
 exit
fi

echo "==================================="
echo "cleanup target image"
rm -rf $2

echo "==================================="
echo "build jffs2 image file"
mkfs.jffs2 --root=$1 --output=$2 --eraseblock=131072 -l -p


echo "done!"
echo "<"$2"> image built from <"$1">"

That's all!
Good luck

HowTo StinkyLiunx for CoolStream HD1


Preparation:
Starts StinkyLinux and sign in as Bentutzer slightly!
Click below on the 4th symbol (terminal - command line)
Source

[LIST]
[*]mkdir archives 
[*]mkdir CoolStream 
[*]cd CoolStream 
[*]git clone git: / / gitorious.org / neutrino-hd / build system-cs.git cs-neutrino 
[*]cd cs-neutrino 
[*]ln-sf $ HOME / Archive download 
[*]make cross tool 
[*]make preqs 
[*]make bootstrap 
[*]make neutrino 
[*]make skeleton 
[*]make rootfs
[/LIST]

1. We create a directory named "archives", arrive later in this directory the files to the project from the Internet to load. We create this directory outside of our actual project directory, so we do so we if we want to make it new all the time the files do not need to load down a second time. This saves time and bandwidth.

2.coolstream is our real project directory in this directory will play out later all

3. That is now the real "checkout", where the source code of the CoolStream build system into our local project directory will be transferred. The parameter

4. make cross tool generates the entire surroundings Cross incl all Libs that we need so

5. make preqs (prerequisites) checks for us the whole SVN's / Gits, bringing practical from the sources that we need so

6. make bootstrap copied some Libs and modules and creates some directories - these are needed to compile

7. make neutrino "builds" is the real neutrino

8. skeleton make the directory structure created as we need it later

9. make rootfs now copies everything together so that we all we need in a directory (build_tmp / rootfs) have

with mkfs.jffs2-p-e 128KiB-r build_tmp / rootfs-o mtd2.img we can now generate an image (flash at your own risk!)

Errors and suggestions are happy times!
