  • Instructions for the emergency: uboot new flashing



    There are increasing reports of users that shooting up the boot loader or corrupt, although this should be impossible due to read-only ;)
    The box gets stuck in the episode at boot time (display: boot) no longer boots up, no matter if spark or Enigma.


    Normally, this is a case of warranty.
    You can save postage and time but by you yourself new overrides in case of emergency the submarine.


    Attention: only for users with some clue in matter > everyone else please the box send to repair!


    Instructions:
    What is needed?
    Null modem cable
    Hyper terminal program (Windows XP: start > Accessories > communications > HyperTerminal)
    Note: starting with Windows Vista, HT is no longer part of Windows, but there are freeware.


    Emergency-HowTo: override bootloader
    ==================================


    Use only in case of an emergency!


    -Switch off box, then connect to PC/laptop via null-modem cable (RS232)
    -Start HyperTerminal and create new connection
    -> select correct COM interface
    -> Bits per second: 115-200
    -> Flow control: no


    -Then transfer > Send file
    -Select correct uboot-xxx.bin
    -Log: Ymodem
    -Click send!


    > now before turning on the box!
    -When you turn hold button [OK] to [FORC] appears
    -then left arrow [<] press
    -RS232 appears on the display


    Now is the transmission, which should take about 2 minutes.
    Turn off not prematurely or other maneuvers at this stage!


    Flash at your own risk!
    Thx to the RSP team for the uboot-alien

  • Hi.. From my experience if you select Ymodem it will kill your rec, instead of Ymodem select kermit. That is my experience, but , Flash at your own risk..

  • this worked for me using cisco tftp server and #61 alpha image after being stung by clone boxes I got the sw is illegal contact dealer message on screen, needless to say dealer wasnt interested so now get them from UK.


    Preparation:
    1.Install TFTP tools [csicotftp11.rar] to your PC
    2.Set your PC IP addr to [192.168.40.19]
    3.connect your PC to STB by LAN, now we only support LAN, do not support WLAN
    4.Set default booting system to [spark]
    Upgrade Step:
    1.copy [mImage] and [userfsub.img] to any folder of your PC, for example [C:/spark]
    2.select folder in TFTP tools:
    3.Keep Pressing [OK] Button in Front Panel, then power on STB.
    4.After 5 seconds you will see [Forc] in LED, release [OK] button and press right arrow button.
    5.If everything OK, You will see [T LD] shining in LED and you will see some debug information in TFTP Server, like
    “Mon Oct 25 14:02:36 2010: Sending 'mImage' file to 192.168.40.19 in binary mode
    Mon Oct 25 14:02:39 2010: Successful.
    Mon Oct 25 14:02:50 2010: Sending 'userfsub.img' file to 192.168.40.19 in binary mode
    Mon Oct 25 14:03:33 2010: Successful.”
    6.if upgrade success, You will see [SUCC] and STB reboot automatically
    If upgrade not finishes in 5 minutes, then there must be something wrong, please check your configuration
