DM500 v8 network flash

Hey guys,
just got my box through the post.
is it possible to flash an image onto the box via the ethernet cable or does it have to be serial null modem?

would be nice to be able to do it via network as i dont have a COM port lmao.

Cheers,
Mubs

Hi M8,

Get a piece of software called flash wizard pro that will sort you out....

cheers buddy.
much appreciated.

connect your box to your network. ftp your img into the temp folder and rename it to backup.img very important to call it this.

then telnet into the box user name root password dreambox and copy and paste the following command

cd /tmp && eraseall /dev/mtd/3 && cp backup.img /dev/mtd/3 && reboot

this will perform a flash erase and change to the temp directory and flash the image you placed there called backup.img

Thanks buddy.
do i not need to do a regular flash first to create temp directory etc.
or is there a preloaded image on the box that allows you to flash images in this way.
cheers.

i might just go through the flashwizard pro route as its just a couple of clicks.
cheers.
