vu+solo2 se

CCcam works but the two internal card readers do not work.
Anyone else here with the same problem?
Maybe we should wait for BH 2.3.0 SOLO2 se image for and get the card reader and work? or some tips here how to fix the card reader problem?
.

The images for the Solo 2 and the SOLO 2 SE should be the same... perhaps they use a different smartcard chip on the SE?
Anyway did you try to see if it works with the original blackhole that comes with the box?
Cheers
 
Hi Kaon,

I haven't got a RS232 port on my laptop, do you think a USB to RS232 adapter will work? They are cheap on ebay...

thanks

You would be better off with a pcmcia card to RS232 if your laptop has a pcmcia slot.

A lot more reliable then those usb to rs232 leads
 
thanks Ferret, I will buy a PCMCIA one... once my Solo 2 SE arrives! ;-)
 
Yes card reader works fine with all other software I've tried from SOLO2

can u write what trnasfare rate u using when u trnasfer data through ur serial cable to ur box & do u use com1 or if not can i use com8 or com9 as already my parallel pci card can only be adjusted to com8 & com9 , as com1 i tried to configure & set it but cannot be open or adjusted

Think you most use COM 1
Port settings

Bitts per sekund 9600
Databits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow control None

ok so if I understand correctly the solo 2 SE worked fine until this upgrade... let me recap here to help on the troubleshooting:

1: the SOLO 2 SE with any load other than blackhole 2.30 can read a smartcard correctly
2: the SOLO 2 SE with blackhole 2.3.0 cannot read a smartcard

So now the problem could be:

1: there is a problem with the blackhole 2.3 (possibly due to edited drivers or something?)
2: there is a problem with the combination of blackhole 2.3.0 and the SOLO 2 SE
3: somethung else?

Can somebody with a SOLO 2 (not SE, just the normal one) check whether they can use a smartcard with the blackhole 2.3.0?

Has anyone tried using OScam with the internal readers? I don't have a card to test myself.

For the RS232, some Motherboards do have COM port headers on the board, you can then use a backplate with a RS232 wired direct to the board, they work as good as a board with the RS232 on the rear.
 
Whats the performance like on these receivers ,is it similar to the Solo 2 ?
 
I received the vu solo2 se yesterday.
It shows as ram memory 571980 kb.
Where is the 1 GB?
 
Hi, i had the latest vix apollo 32 build running on this for few days now working fine

i flashed
UPDADE TOOLS_20140906

also i tried the flashing the bootloader via com port just to see and it flashed fine, but i noticed after flashing the bootloader, then flashing using the images from VU+ and X Website --- Home , it goes through the process, usb stick flashes , but it doesnt boot, just stays blank, only way flashing worked was to flash official vix apollo 32build then after i can then flash images from VU+ and X Website --- Home

i also flashed older UPDATE TOOLS_20140508 and then try the official image to try to brick it, but it still boots up although with sat and network connected it gets stuck on boot,

i wanted it to go blank so could really see flashing the bootloader working , wonder what protection they have on these se models

Thanks

Was the first vix apollo 32 (the one that you are using several days) that you say downloaded from vu-hd.com or was an official image?

You say: only way flashing worked was to flash official vix apollo 32build then after i can then flash images from VU+ and X Website --- Home...
Do you boot the vu solo with this image or flash the official and without boot you flash the image from vu-hd.com?

I understand from your words that does not seem to be very easy to brick the vu solo2 se. Is it right?

yes using official original , using build 29 from VU+ and X Website --- Home wouldnt update now anway vix have changed it so needs clean flash from 32build

and i meant when i flashed the bootloader flashing image after from VU+ and X Website --- Home didnt work, only way it worked was using apollo 32 build from official site and worked fine, then after can flash images from VU+ and X Website --- Home if u want to

i wanted to brick it, so could test if the recovery via com port flashing bootloader would recover it, but i cant seem to brick it even when flashed older UPDADE TOOLS_20140508 which i know bricked with new driver updates, but it still boots up so can flash via usb easy,
