Openelec for MatrixTBS

[mikebzh44]

+1 for getting inboard IR receiver

Done. Run this two commands in SSH console and reboot. I was testing with remote from TBS5980 (I think). But not all keys are working - someone should record them.

Code: Select All Code

cp /storage/.config/autostart.sh /storage/.config/autostart.sh_orig
curl -o /storage/.config/autostart.sh https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8224157/public/matrix/tbs_matrix_openelec_tbs_remote.autostart


Done.

Seems to be OK when looking log with dmesg :

But remote still unusable

Am I the only one who have align issues in OpenELEC addon settings ? Labels are far too left so I can only see last letters.

Helix is fine but Gotham has some issues. Already investigating.

Fixed. In all builds I forgot to use different settings addon for Gotham than it's used for Helix.

Thanks. Works fine.

What you get when running autostart manually:

Code: Select All Code

sh /storage/.config/autostart.sh

And does remote now works or still not?

Will try it this evening.

I now have OpenELEC booting from emmc (internal flash), with no SD card installed - all achieved on a base Matrix v1.3 running MatrixTV, using only SD card and network connection, from a Linux host without use of any serial console or programming cable.

I have already documented the first two stages - installing the OE 'universal' boot and then creating a bootable OE SD card.

I will document the final step in a little while.

[mikebzh44]

Is it possible to boot to OE when SD card is inserted and to MatrixTV from internal emmc when no SD card ?

To get a sort of dual boot so it's easier to test both release instead of installing one OS over another ?

Is it possible to boot to OE when SD card is inserted and to MatrixTV from internal emmc when no SD card ?

Yes. You need new u-boot in eMMC and uEnv.txt file in eMMC for MatrixTV and uEnv.txt on SD card for OpenElec. If SD card is inserted OpenElec will boot. If no SD card present MatrixTV will boot.

It would be even possible to have different systems on one SD card.

For SD card someone (I ?) could make disk image which can be written directly without manual partition, formating, copying, ...

[mikebzh44]

Where can I found those files ?

I need to follow this post to install OE on SD card, is that right ?

After acheiving this dual bool, I will write a french How to on our forum (http://passion-xbmc.org/forum/) and in this forum if people are interested in.

You are right.

[mikebzh44]

Sorry, it's not clear for me.

If I flash MatrixTV 1.0.1.0 in emmc then u-boot and uEnv.txt are OK, right ?

So I just have to install OE on SD card so uEnv.txt will also be OK, right ?

As my Matrix box already run MatrixTV 1.0.1.0, I just have to follow OE on SD card tuto from PeterB to get dual boot.

[vpeter]

Correct.
