Installing Enigma2 on USB Stick

[drnaeed]

Good day,

I'm not an expert but using my experience and research do the following steps for installing Enigma2 images on my USB Stick and never got failed:

1- Insert USB stick in USB port of your receiver.
2- Then start DCC program with the required IP addresses and pass.
3- Select Telnet
4- Write command fdisk /dev/sda
5- writing p will show you partitions details on the USB
6- writing d command will erase the selected partition till there is left no partition on the USB Stick
7- Writing command n will help you create new partition and you will be asked your preferences like:
a- Creating partition in P or e, usually p (1-4) is selected
8- select 1
9- Again Default 1 is selected
10- To limit the size of partition 1 now I will not select the default value but instead will write +512M
11- Again selected p for creation of 2nd partition.
12- selected 2 (for second partition creation)
13- selected default value for beginning size value of the 2nd partition
14- to close the size limit of the 2nd partition I do not accept the default vale offered but write +128M
15- similarly created 3rd partition in p with +128M size.
16- write a command to select booting partition
17- write 1
18- second and third partitions respectively will be reserved for creating swap partitions by writing t command then selecting there number i,e., 2 or 3 after which when asked putting 82 value for linux swap

19- now write command w for saving and quiting
20- if said that error has occurred while writing table and will be done after next boot.. do the following step
21 umount /dev/sda1
22- fdisk /dev/sda
23- write command w
24- Now it will give OK report and you will be saved for undergoing a reboot
25- now write mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda1
And this way you have created USB stick for installing your Enigma2 image

26- Switch off the Receiver and then plug off the USB stick from the port
27- Again switch on the receiver and after completion of its booting then insert the USB in the port again.
28- come again on DCC program and this time select FTP select your image saved on your pc and copy it in the directory mnt/usb/usb0 (note it must have lost + found folder otherwise you have skipped some step.
29- rename your image which is now in the /mnt/usb/usb0 folder to E2.tar.gz
30- now go again to telnet
31- write command cd /mnt/usb/usb0
32- write ls and hit the enter key
33- you will see contents of the folder with your image
34- write command tar -zxvf E2.tar.gz
35- extracting of your image will be started & after its completion
36 write sync command
37- again write sync

Note after you realize that you need another or updated image to install

dont plug off your USB stick for formating with FAT32 system just start over all functions noted above with DCC.

Thanks button will be highly appreciated if you find my above experience fruitful.

Hello,
Can you please explain me the basic reason to do all this?
In which way this procedure can be usefull for my DM800?

Bye

Re: Installing Enigma2 on USB Stick

would welcome a more recent method (not too compliucated) providing we arrive at the same result.
Thanks for all propositions.

Re: Installing Enigma2 on USB Stick

Yeah, I also like to now the use for all this!
Does it makes any sense for the working of our receiver?

Re: Installing Enigma2 on USB Stick

Good day,

First of all I am thankful to all of you taking interest in my above post.

I have CubeRevo Mini Receiver and in the beginning when I have a USB Stick of 512MB Memory the reported procedure used to work very well but when my those USB sticks with small memory were neither repairable nor available, the reported procedure was not very helpful in the preparation of installing Enigama2 images on 4GB and above USB Sticks as my experience told me. Then go through Linux literature with my specific problem where got a topic with creation of partitions on USB stick and I just want to share my findings perhaps useful tp people with same problem.

As I do not have MIPS Receivers wanted to know whether these are as well useful to those receivers.

I am once again thankful all for taking interest in my findings.

Re: Installing Enigma2 on USB Stick

Can you provide a link of the exact model of your receiver as it sounds interesting to me ;-)

Re: Installing Enigma2 on USB Stick

Good Day,

CubeRevo Digital Company has stopped manufacturing as well supporting these receivers. They are also known as Ipbox receivers. Mine is also known as Ipbpx900 HD.

Thanks
