Dreambox Flashen

Ein Windows-Tool zum Flashen einer Dreambox DM600PVR zu Verwenden ist klarer Stilbruch. Via TFTP wäre es vertretbar aber umständlich. Das geht viel einfacher wenn man die Dreambox übers LAN erreicht:

telnet $IP_OF_DREAMBOX
mount -o remount,rw /boot
rm /boot/*
reboot

Im Browser dann auf $IP_OF_DREAMBOX gehen und über den Punkt Firmware-Upgrade das gewünschte nfi-Image hochladen und wenn das abgeschlossen ist neu starten. That’s it.

Tipp: zuvor ein Backup via ‘cat /dev/mtd/$ID > /var/tmp/backup.img’ zu erstellen (für $ID siehe cat /proc/mtd) und per FTP zu sichern kann nicht schaden.

    I just learned that sometimes you have to manualy reboot your dreambox after flashing.

    @Joern: manually as in ‘reboot’ at the cmdline or as in “walk to the box and press the right button”? :)

    @mika: Walk to the box and pull the power plug and put it back in. I just flashed a new version and nothing happens. Only the front led was periodically flashing so I flashed it again. Again nothing happend, but a friend told me to powercycle and voila it was booting like a breeze.
