Important notes before updating!
To the users of the DM800, and DM500 HD DM800se: To take advantage of the new features, you have several options to get a new image. Either flashes you the new image on DreamUp, or one performs only an online update (in this case, always ensure that the new second-stage loader is installed!) And flashes then the new image as normal using the browser, like any other .
To the user of the DM8000: This just goes to run the online updates, a re-flashing is not necessary.
Important notes for the update!
If you run the update, so old no longer dflash images (or other tools) are played back! This can only be via the web interface or DreamUp played back. Please do not dflash use in conjunction with a new image in Flash and old image! Current images, so newer than the 9/5/2011, but can be easily installed on dflash.
Detailed installation instructions for the update
To benefit from the innovations of the second-stage loader and the driver, it is necessary to flash a new image.
As I said, enough for the DM8000-users a simple online update.
With the DM800, and DM800se DM500HD is necessary after the update but also a new flash the images to get to the update. To simplify the whole, you can flash even without previous online updates, the latest image (must be new as from 5 September 2011) on DreamUp. But for that you need appropriate cable, which have the fewest home.
Therefore, there is also the somewhat circuitous route via the online update. When you run the online update, the new second-stage loader is installed automatically. But beware: In the experimental images of DMM, the new second-stage loader already available and can be updated. But those who use other images, such as Merlin2 iCVS or who will have to wait on it until the updates are entered.
After the new second-stage loader has been installed, a new flashing the latest enigma2 images is necessary. This can be done easily via the web interface now. This image must have from 5 September 2011 or newer. At this time there is only the experimental image of DMM in question (
www.dreamboxupdate.com).
After that you should not play on old images as tools dflash back! This can only be via the classical pathway with DreamUp played back or web interface!
The innovations
Now we will certainly ask, well worth the effort? First: Such is not the effort - everyone has been flashed once. There are only a small feature that the Dreambox is so incompatible for old images. But it is the only path from the current innovations and the innovations is to benefit in the future.
With this update you can update the driver again, among other things. Thus, a deadlock has been fixed, as well as problems with the hybrid tuner (Changelog).
Besides the small Linux kernel update (Changelog) also give the new second-stage loader is. When the DM8000 support for 256 MB of flash chips of the new generation brings.
The real innovation, which makes the somewhat more complicated update effort is necessary, however, the improved error correction of flash memory (the changelog).
As great as the changes are thus not yet, but it all looks reasonable to conclude that preparations for a coming here and probably very large Enigma2 update be made. This is certainly associated with the new DM7020 HD, which will soon hit the market, as well as the announced HbbTV (and maybe even a new Linux kernel for Enigma2).
Obviously doing something that seems so at the images, which actually was always an indicator that a major update and a receiver-release shortly before standing. We can just wait and see what kind of updates and new features since we are still in the coming days and weeks before.
