The provided image is based on the Linux operating system and includes
the Enigma2 PVR application. Please read this document carefully before
installing the image.

New features and bugfixes (since 0.1)
-------------------------------------
+ Feature: first beta support for CAMs (upper slot only)
+ Feature: added flashing topfield.tfd (if present on the USB stick) to
  make going back to Topfield firmware easier
+ Feature: freed 16 MB of unused RAM
+ Feature: migrated system partition to ext3 filesystem
+ Feature: migrated to stlinux-2.6.17.14-0041
+ Feature: installation control file (noformat, noupdate, nopartition,
  keepsettings, usbhdd)
+ Feature: enabled installation to a USB HDD (option usbhdd)
+ Feature: improved emergency shutdown policy
+ Change: removed mapping of the keys V- (left) and V+ (right) to volume control
  to avoid problems in various menus. The volume can now be adjusted with
  the keys |< and >|.
+ Fix: the keys V-/V+ can now be used to change entries in the timer menu and
  to scroll page up/page down.
+ Fix: updated the settings for Astra 19°° and added new satellites.xml for
  orbital position 13.0, 19.2 and 23.5 east
+ Fix: applied the SATA patch to fix interactions with HDDs
+ Fix: fixed repeating Diseq commands delaying tuning up to 20 seconds
+ Fix: added swap to /etc/fstab
+ Fix: added the dvr1 device for recording
+ Fix: added updating the network settings to the rcS (activates the user
  settings made in e2)
+ Fix: fixed the issue with "SID not found in PAT" and some scan problems
+ Fix: fixed the issue with low volume
+ Fix: improved shutdown behavior so that the PVR is not turned off before
  the kernel finished unmounting file systems
+ Fix: updated Vader skin (DNS settings, timer)
+ Fix: swapped keys zapUp and zapDown
+ Fix: Daylight Saving Time
- Fix: no video on the FIRST start after installation

Unsupported features and known problems
---------------------------------------
- The only supported tuner type is DVB-S2 CX24116/CX24118.
- Timeshift does not work yet.
- Rewind does not work properly. Sometimes enigma2 freezes when rewinding.
  "Jump back" can be used instead (see playback keys).
- Samsung LCD TVs will probably have problems with the default resolution
  576i.
- HDD shuts down and spins up very often, workaround - disable HDD standby in
  e2 settings.
- With "AC3 downmix on" there is no sound on optical when AC3 stream is
  selected. With "AC3 downmix off" the system migt freeze when zapping to
  channels with AC3.
- After stopping the playback of a an active recording (a kind of timeshift)
  the screen remains black and does not recover until the receiver is restarted.

DISCLAIMER
----------
The software is provided 'as is' without warranty of any kind.

Please consider that you may lose manufacturer's warranty when installing
this image.

This is an alpha image. That is some functions may not be available or be
buggy (causing crashes/freezes or loss of data).

The installation of the Enigma2 image formats (ext2) the internal harddrive.
ALL FILES ON THE HARDDRIVE WILL BE LOST. The same is true if you go back to
the original Topfield firmware.

Installation instructions
-------------------------
You will need either a USB stick or a USB harddrive with FAT32 filesystem.
- Copy the files Enigma_Installer.tfd, uImage, rootfs.tar.gz and
  Engima_Installer.ini to the USB device. Please read the instructions
  in Engima_Installer.ini on how to modify the installation process.
- Attach the drive to the USB slot.
- Open the Topfield firmware update menu and select the image file
  Enigma_Installer.tfd on the USB drive.
- Start the firmware update from USB. This part is very quick.
  Restart the receiver when the display shows the blinking END
- After about 6-7 minutes the installation should be finished.
  DO NOT REMOVE THE USB DEVICE UNTIL the INSTALLATION HAS FINISHED or
  THE INSTALLER REQUESTS TO DETACH THE USB DEVICE.
- When installing to a USB HDD (option usbhdd in Enigma_Installer.tfd)
  the installer will ask you to detach the initial USB device and to
  attach a USB HDD to install to.

During the installation the VFD shows the current installation step and
error messages (if any):

"9 USB STCK"	mounting USB stick
"STCK DETACH"	waiting for USB device to be detached (USB HDD installation)
"HDD ATTACH"	waiting for USB HDD to be attached (USB HDD installation)
"8 HDD PART"	partitioning HDD
"7 HDD FMT"	formatting HDD (root fs)
"6 HDD FMT"	formatting HDD (data fs)
"5 HDD SWAP"	creating swap
"4 ROOT FS"	installing root file system
"3 LOADER"	flashing U-Boot settings
"2 KERNEL"	flashing kernel
"1 FSCK"	checking file system
"0 REBOOT"	rebooting within 2 seconds

It is recommended to attach a cable to the serial port and log the output in a
terminal program (e.g. TeraTerm) during the installation and the first start.
Serial port settings: 115200, 8, N, 1.

The USB filesystem should be writable to prevent infinite installation loop.
(The file uImage is renamed to avoid the infinite loop.)

The first start usually takes approximately 3 minutes due to creation of
device nodes.

To uninstall Enigma2, copy your favorite Topfield firmware on your stick and
rename it to "topfield.tfd" (don't forget to rename uImage_ if necessary). The
installer will flash the firmware and reboot the Toppy. There have been reports
that the PVR appears to be dead for about 5 minutes until the picture comes on
the TV screen. So please be patient. Enigma2 can also be removed by flashing a
regular Topfield firmware image using standard tools like TFD-Down or VegaPack
via the serial interface.


First start
-----------
On the first start the Enigma2 interactively configures the video output to be
used. The following options are available:
- Component
- HDMI
- Scart
- HDMI-PC
Each connection type is switched on for 30 seconds. The VFD displays the
connection type which is currently active. You can either wait until the
connection type you want is displayed and your TV shows a picture or you
can select the connection type with Up and Down buttons on the remote control.
Confirm the desired connection type with the Ok button. After that you can
proceed with the configuration supported by the configuration wizard.
The image contains a default channel table. If you want to replace it you can
perform a channel scan later.

Network configuration
---------------------
The U-Boot settings contain the following configuration by default:
MAC address 00:3e:9e:11:22:33
IP address 192.168.178.100

That is after booting the image you can login via telnet if your computer is in
the same subnet.

These values are set up by the U-Boot. You can temporarily change the values
in Enigma2 menu "Settings/System/Network.../Adapter settings" or change the
U-Boot parameters.

Default U-Boot bootargs:
ba1=console=ttyAS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rw init=/bin/devinit ip=192.168.178.100:192.168.178.10:192.168.178.10:255.255.255.0:tf7700:eth0:off nwhwconf=device:eth0,hwaddr:00:3e:9e:11:22:33
 mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000

To change the IP addresses interrupt the U-Boot countdown and execute the
following command with replaced IP addresses:
TF7700> set ba1 'console=ttyAS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rw init=/bin/devinit ip=<own IP>:<server IP>:<DNS IP>:255.255.255.0:tf7700:eth0:off nwhwconf=device:eth0,hwaddr:00:3e:9e:11:22:33
 mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000'

Please note that the setting has to be split in two lines to bypass the
limitation of U-Boot. The second line must start with a white space. The
string is enclosed in single quotes. Any change is temporary unless the
settings are saved to flash using the command "saveenv". Before saving
settings to flash you should test whether the kernel boots with your settings.
Enter "boot" at the U-Boot prompt to start the kernel. (After testing the
settings without saving them you will have to enter your changes again.)

Playback keys
-------------
Play - shows the file list
Yellow - pause/unpause playback
Green - continue playback
Red - jump to the beginning
Blue - jump to the next bookmark
1/3 jump 15 seconds backwards/forwards (configurable in the settings menu)
4/6 jump 60 seconds backwards/forwards (configurable in the settings menu)
7/9 jump 5 minutes backwards/forwards (configurable in the settings menu)

Full key map can be found in the file /usr/local/share/enigma2/keymap.xml.
