TNAP-Images
TNAP image number 7 will take a different direction than previous versions. There exists on the Internet an image building environment for Dreambox that is maintained by Fairbird. Also, OpenPLi, OpenATV, Open-Alliance and Hains make this build possible, along with many contributors.
The build environment as it exists on the Internet only supports Dreambox. There are not any build directories for other images. This means support for other images has to be added, and the supplied enigma2 has to be edited or altered. This constitutes some work, but in return, we get a very modern build environment. As of today, the Yocto 5.3 build layers were released in December, 2025, and the last python 3.14 update was also in December, 2025.
This build is somewhat of a challenge, but very "doable". Current tests using Octagon SF8008 have been very encouraging. Add the fact that you have OpenATV. OE Alliance blended into the build, and you end up with a very promising end result. Regular TNAP features work without issue on those that have been tested.
Currently only one TNAP receiver image is available, which is Octagon SF8008. The other supported TNAP images will be added as time permits, providing everything works out OK. Making this image work on models besides Dreambox is time-consuming. But I think the image itself is worth it. This will take some time.....
An Octagon SF8008 TNAP-7 test image should be available for download at tnapimages.com later this evening. This test image boots and runs well on the features that I have tried. Bugs may exist, but the image should boot-run-work for anyone trying it.
Since this image is based on OpenPLi, our settings and other files transfer. You may restore settings, but expect errors when doing that as some things may not be available. They way I did it was to install the image, mount it on the usb drive and transfer /etc/engima2, and etc/ tuxbox folders. Doing this gives me a runnable image immediately when TNAP 7 is booted. Other methods may be used, including a "Clean Install" where Nothing is transferred.
We will have to see how this turns out in time, but so far, very promising it is!!
