r6543uc (with emu support) Ipbox9000HD

Finally the firmware we waited for..

A hint from Tuxer made the mgcamd work fine in this release of 6543..

Thanks to him..

This image contains all that are needed, including libs..

keys are -NOT- part of this image..


Here are the actual changes from 6407 -> 6543 image.


- Change from original 6543 firmware.
- Problem with "Front_ioctl" crashes kernel sometimes..
- Made it possible to boot from NFS (corrected starting of network interface if already running)
- Below details also included in this release..
- Included all libraries needed for e__ support... (verified with MG____)
- Included a "kernel_root" edition, seems to work fine with previous 6407 release for me..
- /data changed to be hardcoded from sym link , and inside is the /data/emu a symlink and k... and s.... are links
to the /var/k... and /var/s.... (can it be more flexible)
- If /media/k...,/media/s... is found, image will link /var/k... and /var/s... to those folders at startup.
Better for safe keeping of files.
- when mgcamd stop decoding:
for those that do not know what app to restart, execute the 2 lines below from a telnet prompt.

-sh-3.00# killall mgcamd.ip9000hd
-sh-3.00# /data/mgcamd.ip9000hd

And it works again.

You will need to prepare the /var/k... folder with a telnet login, or the image will crash..

Thanks must go to "Tuxer" , as he guided me in the right direction...

I will look into a serial support function from Kathrein images the next hours, so another update might appear with serial port support, for newcs etc... (that is now a requirement!)

Old attachment removed to preserve space

CubeRevo 0.6543uc v2

CubeRevo 0.6543uc v2
Unofficial Custom release

v6543uc_root_v2
- Includes Sandali LD_PRELOAD library for faster channel switching.
- Enables users with "err 79" to be able to boot into a clean startup, and get the option
to copy old db.dat back to the box.


v6543uc_root
- Updated the restart script of mgcamd, so at channel change, it works much better and 90% stable.
its not bullet proof, but works more stable with most channels, when EMM is disabled.
- Support for external card reader (phoenix) through a USBSerial (pl2303 device).
- newcs starts up if a file in /var/start_newcs is found.
- can use config in /var/k.../newcs.xml or /var/tuxbox/config/newcs.xml
- another front_ioctl fix.. old driver from 6407 is used now.
- this addon will not update kernel or delete your existing configuration.
- Camd was tested and found very unstable (slowing down, and taking up 100% cpu), so i did not
include anything for this. (camd 3.900 beta1 tested)

v6543uc
- Change from original 6543 firmware.
- Problem with "Front_ioctl" crashes kernel sometimes..
- Made it possible to boot from NFS (corrected starting of network interface if already running)
- Below details also included in this release..
- Included all libraries needed for e__ support... (verified with MG____)
- /data changed to be hardcoded from sym link , and inside is the /data/emu a symlink and k... and s.... are links
to the /var/k... and /var/s.... (can it be more flexible)
- If /media/k...,/media/s... is found, image will link /var/k... and /var/s... to those folders at startup.
Better for safe keeping of files.


- Change from original 6407 firmware.
- /media mounts and waits for fsck of harddrive (sorry might be slow on some 1TB drives)
- Samba daemon starts correctly.
using windows you can access \\x.x.x.x\media (Harddrive) read/write
- sshd (dropbear) daemon enabled (stlinux compiled edition)
- Reorganized startup scripts, so they do not run within the box application
- its possible to stop "sbox" from starting.
- put a file called do_not_start_sbox
in /var
- reboot the box, and the application will not start and init stapi.
- httpd daemon enabled (not really used for now, but it works)
- http folder (/var/www)
- Changed /var/addon and /var/plug-in to /media/addon and /media/plug-in
if HHD is found.
- /data reference to /media (Kathrein compatible)
- more details in VFD display about startup of the box (especially when HDD is checked!)

- Don't do's
- do not try to view "plugins" folder files in other folder, this will crash the box.

Install at your own risk.. I can only confirm it works on my ipbox9000hd box.
