We will need the following:


1) null modem cable

2) a usb stick.
I used this stick
Kingston DataTraveler 1GB

3)The programme PuTTy isi freeware and you will find it here:
Code:
http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty-0.60-installer.exe

4)The programme KCC for kathrein
Code:
Upload-Drive : Free File Hosting

5)The Enigma2_SifTeam_Cuberevo image for Ipbox 9000 HD

Installation guide:


1) We install uboot 1.3.1 and higher

2) We turn off the ipbox 9000 from the on/off switch and we connect the null modem cable.

3) We install the Putty programme and start the programme. Look at the bellow picture:

4) We select serial,speed 115200 and at serial line we put the com we use. Then we push open.

5) Then the bellow picture will appear at our PC.

6) At the same time we switch on our Ipbox 9000, press ctrl + Z at our keyboard. Continue hitting ctrl + Z .
If you did it right, then at putty’s window it will appear the following prompt:
cuberevo>
If not, switch off your receiver open again putty and do again 4), 5),6).

7) At cuberevo> we copy paste the following (Don’t forget to customize the bellow settings to your network environment. ipaddr is the ip of your decoder, serverip is the ip of your nfs-server, gateway is your gateway ip, netmask is the mask of your home-net):

setenv menu_1 'setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.5;setenv serverip 192.168.1.6;setenv gateway 192.168.1.1;setenv netmask 255.255.255.0;setenv bootargs "console=ttyAS1,115200 panic=3 bigphysarea=10240 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/root/Desktop/root rw rootpath=/root/Desktop/root ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000 init=/bin/devinit";setenv bootcmd "nfs a5ff0000 192.168.1.6:/root/Desktop/root/boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";saveenv;boot'
Push then enter and the cuberevo> prompt will appear again.
Do the same also with:

setenv menu_2 'setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.5;setenv serverip 192.168.1.6;setenv gateway 192.168.1.1;setenv netmask 255.255.255.0;setenv bootusb "run bootargsusb;usb reset;ext2load usb 0:1 a5ff0000 boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";setenv bootargsusb "setenv bootargs console=ttyAS1,115200 panic=3 bigphysarea=10240 root=/dev/sda1 rw rootdelay=10 init=/bin/devinit ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000";seten v bootcmd "run bootusb";saveenv;boot'
setenv menu_3 'setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.5;setenv serverip 192.168.1.6;setenv gateway 192.168.1.1;setenv netmask 255.255.255.0;setenv bootusb "run bootargsusb;usb reset;ext2load usb 0:1 a5ff0000 boot/uImage;bootm a5ff0000";setenv bootargsusb "setenv bootargs console=ttyAS1,115200 panic=3 bigphysarea=10240 root=/dev/sdb1 rw rootdelay=10 init=/bin/devinit ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask mem=128m coprocessor_mem=4m@0x10000000,4m@0x10400000";seten v bootcmd "run bootusb";saveenv;boot'
setenv menu_4 'setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.5;setenv serverip 192.168.1.6;setenv gateway 192.168.1.1;setenv netmask 255.255.255.0;setenv bootargs "console=ttyAS1,115200 panic=3 root=/dev/mtdblock3 bigphysarea=1500 ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gateway:$netmask quiet";setenv bootcmd "bootm a0060000";saveenv;boot'
saveenv
8) When all is done well, at putty’s console we will get the message:

9) now you can restart your decoder and press the relative remote controller's button for 5 seconds to start the image you want:

Press Button 1: start your image using nfs-server
Press Button 2: start your image using usb pendrive if you don't have a SATA hdd
Press Button 3: start your image using usb pendrive if you have a SATA hdd
Press Button 4: start your original flash image in the decoder (DGStation's original firmwares and images based on them)

10) We install KCC.
Start KCC and set the following:
kccme1.jpg


Type your Ip adrress, username and password at the fields that been showed at above picture.
Make a test Connection if all is OK.
Then press at KCC toolbar the Experts button.
 
Here we see our usb stick as sdb.

Make right click at your mouse on usb’s /dev/sdb and the a menu window opens. We select new partitioner. We make 2 new partitions. The first one must be 512 mb at ext2 label and we name it XSYS1. The second partition will have the rest of usb size. Select ext2 label for it and name it XSYS2.
Close KCC. Unplug the usb stick from receiver and place it again.

11) Open a ftp programme. And copy paste the enigma2_cuberevo.tar.gz to /mnt/usb/usb0
12) Open telnet and write:
cd /mnt/usb/usb0
tar xzf enigma2_cuberevo.tar.gz
mv ./release/* .
(At the second command, you will wait long)

13) Switch OFF the receiver.
Switch it On again and press the relative remote controller's button for 5 seconds to start the image you want:

Press Button 1: start your image using nfs-server
Press Button 2: start your image using usb pendrive if you don't have a SATA hdd
Press Button 3: start your image using usb pendrive if you have a SATA hdd
Press Button 4: start your original flash image in the decoder (DGStation's original firmwares and images based on them)


14) First time the booting for Enigma2 will take about 10 min.

cant get any easier than this to put e2 on stick
backup image using ghost,insructions inside
and make sure you have loaded the multiboot file on your ipbox for this to work
