Editing E2

[mountaineer]

If you could, please tell me how to update sat list in E2 on anaconda. I would also like to add somethings to e2 is there a way to add and recompile e2 img on usb. I have access to unbuntu. Thank you!

I want to add driver for genpix skywalker. I have it in openpli and just need to put it intothis E2 version if it is possible. then genpix thru USB should show up as second tuner in E2....atleast that is the plan.

[el bandido]

It may show up as a second tuner, but where would you make the antenna connections for the second tuner? I cannot help you with genpix, but maybe somebody else can.

A sat file for E2 is easy to do. Post a .fdu file taken from your Anaconda and I will transfer your satellite information to a transferable E2 file. Doing it this way will give you the satellites and transponders that you are currently using.

[mountaineer]

Thanks I appreciate it. here is the file. I had to change it to .rar. to get it to upload. Just change extension back to .fdu .

I have a second line coming into where my receiver is and I have different stationary sats on it for ITC stuff. The genpix is a usb receiver that i would attach to the front usb and attach that line to it. then I could use the anaconda tuner to move my ku and cband dishes and use the genpix 4014on my stationary. Any help editing e2 would be very much appreciated. What is the site of the development team or images.
thanks again

Your converted E2 file is attached.

The actual sites that are home to the E2 images are in another language, usually Polish or German so they can be difficult to understand if your language is English.

Which E2 image are you using? We are supposed to have channel editors here for E2 so you will need to download one of those to install your E2 sat file or use FileZilla to do it.

I have found that it works best for me to load an E2 image, then immediately do a factory reset to clear the existing satellite file. then I load my custom E2 sat file then restart Enigma2 in the receiver's menu. Doing all of this should cause the pre-installed sat file to disappear and be replaced with your custom file.

[mountaineer]

thanks a ton. I'm using the one posted on this site [Only registered and activated users can see links] is there another one or newer one? Your help is much appreciated.

[mountaineer]

what is the normal login and password to connect to E2 thru filezilla?

[mountaineer]

Never mind. root dreambox

New HDMU file posted in the link for you to try.

[mountaineer]

I downloaded and thanks so much. Do I use filezilla to replace all the files, or do I save those to a usb and boot from it. it is not in an image form but folders and files. I look forward to running it (once i know how to get it in the receiver :))

[el bandido]

I do not understand.
What files are you talking about replacing? Are you talking about the E2 sat file or the HDMU E2 image?

[mountaineer]

HDMU E2 image.When i downloaded it was zipped and was bunch of folders and files. the other E2 image that i am using now was an image file in itself with one other image file. Those two image files are on a usb stick that I boot from. The file you mention above is not an image file..I was just asking how do I use it. Thanks!

[el bandido]

How many times did you extract it? I only see one file in the HDMU download. I extracted one time and got a hdmu folder with one file in it. If you extract that one file, you will have two files. You can continue extracting the image file and break it up into smaller pieces but you do not need to do this.

[mountaineer]

I'm sorry but I'm new to this receiver. Again I really do appreciate your help. The E2 image I had on a USB stick had 2 files labeled: uImage(a file) and root.img. When I unzipped the file mentioned above i got this : E2_OCTAGON_SF1008_1201-209_GIT4733_USB . I put it on the stick bu itself and it did not boot. If I unzipped that file again I got a whole bunch of folders and files. Do I need to keep one of the 2 files uImage or root.img on the stick or none or ? Once you help me with this process once i'll be fine. Thanks.

[el bandido]

I will have to look and see. I do not have an Anaconda so I do not know what works and what does not.

[el bandido]

What bootloader is installed in your Anaconda? Is it 6.26?

[el bandido]

[Only registered and activated users can see links]


Have you installed the bootloader that is in the link?

[mountaineer]

yes. 6.26

[el bandido]

What I have given you is supposed to be for usb and not flash. I would expect it to work on an usb stick.

[el bandido]

Are these the instructions that you are using for E2?

[Preperation before install E2]

1. Update your boot loader --- 'UpdateLoaderLx.x6' version(Latest version) by Booting upgrade mode.
(Turn on your receiver while pressing CHANNEL UP button on the front panel, until SCAN message shows up
=> 'COMPLETE' message shows up, then Turn off and on)
2.USB Memory
* Bootable USB memory required.
* File system must be FAT32. (Recommend FAT32 format in advance)
* High performacne USB memory recommended.
(If USB memory stick is old or performace is low, USB booting can be failed.)

[E2 Installation]

1. Save uImage (common to all models) and root.img (specific to each model) to your USB memory.
2. Connect the USB memory stick to receiver. (Rear or Front side)
3. Turn on the receiver with pressing CHANNEL DOWN button on the front panel, until SCAN message shows up.
4. The front display will show 'ON' first, then keep showing some messages more.
* 'ON' means that reading E2 image from the USB memory is started.
5. 'ENIGMA2' logo displays for a while.
6. After displaying E2 logo, if your screen is black, select output mode by pressing channel Up & Down botton on your RCU.
Once select your output mode, press OK button to adapt it.
(Currnet output mode will display on your front LCD or VFD)
C = Component
H = HDMI
HC = HDMI-PC
S = Scart

6. Now Enjoy E2 !
** After installation is finished well, E2 is available whenever your USB memory is connected to receiver before turn-on.


!!!!! [Important Notice] !!!!!

* Do not dis-connect USB memory from the receiver while E2 is working.

<Roll back to original S/W>
1. Turn-off receiver
2. Dis-connect USB memmory from the receiver, then turn-on the receiver.

yes. You see the reference to root image and boot image, those are the two I'm talking about...that aren't in the file you posted...or I could not find them. the instruction above worked perfectly with the earlier image posted on this site. I just don't know if the UI image or the root image need to be on there with the one you uploaded.
Thanks!!!

Does the attached file work?

[mountaineer]

that is what I'm talking about. It has two root images. I have not tried this particular one but that is how the other two E2 images were that worked. A root.img and an uimage.

[el bandido]

The attached file in post#22 has what you described. That is why I wondered if it worked!

[mountaineer]

Yes I loaded it last night and it worked. that is the type of E2 setup (2 files) that the anaconda has to have to work. i like the HDMU version but after "upgrading" it ..it stuck in reboot mode. had to go back to pkteam E2 without really getting to test or see what all hdmu had.. is there a two file version of the latest HDMU release mentioned by EAST? Also how would I know before downloading if an E2 version is anaconda friendly or is there a way? Thanks EB for all of your help!!!
