Hi Everyone
I have recently been contributing here on the Vu Solo2 Clone thread and finally made the purchase for a Solo2 Clone. Now, previously I have only dealt with DM800se (Ferrari) versions so have a few basic queries I was hoping
you guys could answer;
When I used to update my DM800se Ferrari box, I would flash the box with an up to date SSL Bootlader. Once I had sent the 800se the Bootloader, I would then send the new (Ferrari patched) image. There seems to be a few terms floating about on the VU scene and was wondering if people could give me info on the below;
'bootloader' and 'kernel'
1) Is there a 'bootloader' that you have to update on the VU before sending it images?
2) There's also something about the 'kernel' I read, is this the same as the 'bootloader' or is this different that also needs updating before loading a new image?
3) Do the drivers also need updating or are these usually bundled with the 'bootlader' file?
4) Is there anything in particular that I need to be aware of so that I do not end up Bricking the box?
5) Everything else seems fairly the same as they are Enigma / Linux boxes. Can you confirm which is the best image to use, Black Hole or Vix?
6) Are there any other PC Programs that you can recommend? I have Dreambox control centre and VU Control Centre. Anything else that people can recommend that are useful?
7) Are there any other box Plugins that can be recommended. I already know about Cooltvguide, TSPanel, etc. Is there anything 'VU Specific' that I need to be aware of please?
Appreciate the help in advance.
