# #
# Release 0.5.0 #
# #
################################################## #######
The provided image is based on the Linux operating system and includes
the Enigma2 PVR application. Please read this document carefully before
installing the image.
New features and bugfixes (since 0.4.5)
---------------------------------------
+ Change: separated kernel modules and updated the Player driver (stream
decoder)
+ Feature: set default skin to noGfx
DO NOT USE "keepsettings" when updating from previous releases.
Otherwise enigma2 will crash in an endless loop.
+ Feature: introduced evremote2 to allow support for additional RC ****
+ Feature: added support for .m2ts files
+ Change: changed the *** mapping of the CutListEditor plugin. Now it
should be possible to control it properly (though there are
still some issues)
+ Fix: improved playback of mp4
+ Fix: fixed the start volume bug
+ Fix: added message sequences used by the original firmware to the
communication with the frontpanel (possibly fixing the 'battery bug')
Unsupported features and known problems
---------------------------------------
- There is no sound when playing DTS audio over HDMI.
- The only supported tuner type is DVB-S2 CX24116/CX24118.
- Temporary loss of sync if timeshift is unpaused within 6-7 seconds after
its activation.
Workaround: do not unpause timeshift in the first 8 seconds.
- Rewind works only at a constant speed.
- With "AC3 downmix on" there is no sound on optical when AC3 stream is
selected. With "AC3 downmix off" the system migt freeze when zapping to
channels with AC3.
- There are problems with switching between different satelleites via Diseqc.
It takes several seconds to tune to a channel on another satellite.
- Simultaneous video output to HDMI and Scart (RGB) is not supported.
- Sporadic hangers when zapping during an active HDTV recording
- Some USB sticks are not recognized so that the Enigma2 installation
does not work. Reformatting the stick with FAT32 might help.
IMPORTANT:
When reporting problems please provide console logs documenting the system
behaviour.
DISCLAIMER
----------
The software is provided 'as is' without warranty of any kind.
Please consider that you may lose manufacturer's warranty when installing
this image.
This is an alpha image. That is some functions may not be available or be
buggy (causing crashes/freezes or loss of data).
The installation of the Enigma2 image formats (ext2) the internal harddisk
unless installation on a USB HDD is selected.
ALL FILES ON THE HARDDRIVE WILL BE LOST. When reverting the installation
on the internal HDD to the original Topfield firmware all Enigma2 files
will be lost too.
Installation instructions
-------------------------
You will need either a USB stick or a USB harddrive with FAT32 filesystem.
- Copy the files Enigma_Installer.tfd, uImage, rootfs.tar.gz and
Engima_Installer.ini to the USB device. Please read the instructions
in Engima_Installer.ini on how to modify the installation process.
- Attach the drive to the USB slot.
- Open the Topfield firmware update menu and select the image file
Enigma_Installer.tfd on the USB drive.
- Start the firmware update from USB. This part is very quick.
Restart the receiver when the display shows the blinking END
- After about 6-7 minutes the installation should be finished.
DO NOT REMOVE THE USB DEVICE UNTIL the INSTALLATION HAS FINISHED or
THE INSTALLER REQUESTS TO DETACH THE USB DEVICE.
- When installing to a USB HDD (option usbhdd in Enigma_Installer.tfd)
the installer will ask you to detach the initial USB device and to
attach a USB HDD to install to.
During the installation the VFD shows the current installation step and
error messages (if any):
"9 USB STCK" mounting USB stick
"STCK DETACH" waiting for USB device to be detached (USB HDD installation)
"HDD ATTACH" waiting for USB HDD to be attached (USB HDD installation)
"8 HDD PART" partitioning HDD
"7 HDD FMT" formatting HDD (root fs)
"6 HDD FMT" formatting HDD (data fs)
"5 HDD SWAP" creating swap
"4 ROOT FS" installing root file system
"3 LOADER" flashing U-Boot settings
"2 KERNEL" flashing kernel
"1 FSCK" checking file system
"0 REBOOT" rebooting within 2 seconds
When installing to a USB HDD the contents of the internal HDD remain unchanged.
IMPORTANT: When using the option "keepsettings" in Engima_Installer.ini the
newer settings (incl. keymap.xml updates) will not be installed.
It is recommended to attach a cable to the serial port and log the output in a
terminal program (e.g. TeraTerm, Putty) during the installation and the first
start. Serial port settings: 115200, 8, N, 1.
The USB filesystem should be writable to prevent infinite installation loop.
(The file uImage is renamed to avoid the infinite loop.)
The first start usually takes approximately 3 minutes due to creation of
device nodes.
To uninstall Enigma2, copy your favorite Topfield firmware on your stick and
rename it to "topfield.tfd" (don't forget to rename uImage_ if necessary). The
installer will flash the firmware and reboot the Toppy. There have been reports
that the PVR appears to be dead for about 5 minutes until the picture comes on
the TV screen. So please be patient. Enigma2 can also be removed by flashing a
regular Topfield firmware image using standard tools like TFD-Down or VegaPack
via the serial interface.
