What better to do on a Monday evening than update to DW2.1 I thought.
I downloaded the img file, and attempted to ftp it to the tmp directory and install. This didn't work, not sure why but that's the least of my worries (I probably didn't read something). Now the Dreambox won't boot, just a blank screen.
Nevermind, I'll just use DreamUP to copy it over...
When I launch Dreamup and hit 'connect' it says "connection prepared, now switch on the dreambox etc". When I plug in the power I get the "initiating flash-loader upload" dialogue, and then it hangs. I can't get to the bit to flash an image.
What do you reckon? Is it broken, is there anything I can do?
One point to note, I'm using a work laptop to use DreamUP (no other computer has an RS232 connection any more) so it's possible - but unlikely - that some work firewall is preventing the connection between the two. Do you think this is likely?
Cheers
