FAQ Octagon HD SF 1018 HDTV - ALLIANCE

The software update using pen:
  • Format any pen FAT 32 file system
  • Unzip the downloaded FW directly to the pen (no directories)
  • Turn on any TV channel
  • Mount the reader usb pen in front decoder
  • After a while the decoder finds a portable FW drive and will ask whether to send to the receiver FW
  • Red button on the remote control to confirm that the data transmission to the decoder FW. If, for example, a pen, we choose the channels through
  • the directional keys on the remote corresponding file. FW files to the tip. IRD and the two lists. FDU
  • We look forward to load the software, save the new FW on the receiver and decoder for automatic restart. THIS TIME WE DO NOT ANY
Maintenance DEVICE!
After a while the decoder starts the last enabled channel TV. Of course, next window will start with the data stored on pen FW, which ignore the pen and draw from the USB port (we have yet uploaded to the media FW). It is interesting that the decoder accept any FW or an old version can be uploaded
for later.
The manufacturer recommends so. Factory Reset or restore the decoder to factory settings. Which resets the settings of the channel list
Loved the values. In this case it was necessary to scan the satellite. set tuner1, tuner2 language, etc. So a good solution is
copy your settings such as channels to pen a letter before the Factory Reset.

The procedure for uploading a new Loader Octagon

What will we need?


- The department by rs-232 null modem cable
- Putty
- Loader_usb_octagon.bin - a new loader for our acetate
- Pendrive to FAT partition

Proceed to the fun.

1. We connect the tuner via RS-232 with our computer and run on it or putty hypeterminal
2. Configure Putty to communicate with our a PC:
- Connection type: Serial
- Speed: 115200
3. Turn off the power behind our Tuner
4. Tuner and run quickly to the terminal a few times we click enter to stop the boot process:

U-Boot 1.1.2 (Jun 15 2009 - 12:00:39) - st2.0-14
0 * FrTs
STi710x>
5. Copy your new loader_usb_octagon.bin directly on the flash drive partition
6. PCta remove the pen and put a USB interface to the front of our models supported
7. Begin the process of exchange loader in hyperterminal type the following commands:

Code:
Select all 
usb reset 
fatload usb 0:1 a5000000 loader_usb_octagon.bin 
protect off 1:0-23; erase 1:0-23; cp.b 0xa5000000 0xa0000000 $ filesize; protect on 1:0-23

NOTE: If there are errors we will not disable the tuner, but trying to repeat the operation until it succeeds.

An example of correct installation log is as follows:
STi710x> usb reset
(Re) start USB ...
USB: scanning bus for devices ... 3 USB Device (s) found
scanning bus for storage devices ... 1 Storage Device (s) found

STi710x> fatload usb 0:1 a5000000 loader_usb_octagon.bin
reading loader_usb_octagon.bin
.........................
262,787 bytes read

STi710x> protect off 1:0-23; erase 1:0-23; cp.b 0xa5000000 0xa0000000 $ filesize; protect on 1:0-23
Un-Protect Flash Sectors 0-23 in Bank # 1
........................ done
Erase Flash Sectors 0-23 in Bank # 1
........................ done
Copy to Flash ... . done
Protect Flash Sectors 0-23 in Bank # 1
........................ done
STi710x>


8. If everything goes according to plan we can execute reboot
Code:
Select all 
reset


At the moment there are 2 different loadery:
- Loader, which allows for loading e2 with USB Flash Drive
- Loader, which allows the loading of e2 when we installed the USB SATA drive Presets

WARNING!
Uploading loader operation is dangerous and can damage the tuner!
PKT can not be held responsible for this situation!
