XeLL-Reloaded
A Xenon Linux loader based on Xell by tmbinc(Felix Domke)
XeLL-Reloaded catches CPU threads, sets them up, loads an ELF file from either network (tftp), USB(fat/ext2fs), CDROM (ISO9660) or HDD(fat/ext2fs/xtaf), and launches it. It's made to boot Linux, so it contains a flat device tree for Linux. However, it is able to load other ELF files as well, like applications based on LibXenon.

XeLL Reloaded checks for ELF/UpdXeLL/Kboot-config or updflash.bin in the following order:
USB (FAT/EXT2FS) DVD(ISO9660) HDD(XTAF/FAT/EXT2FS): updxell.bin kboot.conf xenon.elf xenon.z vmlinux updflash.bin
Network: updxell.bin kboot.conf xenon.elf xenon.z vmlinux updflash.bin (It will find that file, but refuse to flash it!) DHCP supplied bootfile-name
updflash.bin is a already remapped flashimage/nandimage. 16MB file for 16MB NAND and 64MB file for 64/256/512MB NAND.
updxell.bin is a renamed xell.bin file. Version depending on the used hack (JTAG XeLL: xell-1f (oldies) xell-2f (modern), RGH XeLL: xell-gggggg)
kboot.conf (modified for XeLL) is a configfile General XeLL config: Set TFTP-Server, CPU-Speedup, videomode, NetConfig Menu: Parses bootentries, shows a user controlable menu with XboxController/UART/IR Remote It can parse bootarguments for linux kernels & can load initramfs/initrd
xenon.elf/xenon.z/vmlinux can be either gzipped or bare ELF32 binaries - LINUX or Homebrew
There's also a HTTP Server running while XeLL searches for executable binaries. It can serve the CPUKey/DVDKey and the console's flashdump.
Troubleshooting:
updxell.bin doesn't get found / updxell process doesn't start: --You have to rebuild your whole hackimage with a recent XeLL. From there on you can use the inbuilt update feature updxell function reports that no XeLL binary was found in NAND: --Either your XeLL in NAND is too old or it's not a XeLL Reloaded binary - You have to rebuild your whole hackimage with a recent XeLL.
Troubleshooting:
XBox does not boot properly after flashing the NAND: --Either your image wasn't properly remapped or you made something wrong while building the image
Read and understand the kboot.conf.sample which is part of every XeLL release with kboot-support
Modify the file to your needs
Supply it, named as "kboot.conf, via USB/DVD/HDD or TFTP
Boot XeLL and wait till it loads the file and shows the menu
Navigate to the desired bootentry. You can do this in the following ways:
UART:
UP/DOWN to go up and down in the menu
ENTER to confirm your choice
C to cancel the menu
X360 Controller (1st): DPAD-UP/DPAD-DOWN to go up and down in the menu A to confirm your choice B to cancel the menu
X360 Media Remote: UP/DOWN to go up and down in the menu OK to confirm your choice Press the NUMBER of the desired bootentry to directly load it B to cancel the menu
Let the bootentry load. Enjoy :)
Troubleshooting:
kboot.conf gets found but it doesn't show bootentries or autoloads a bootentry: --Make sure timeout is set to something higher than 0 --Make sure you didn't forget the "" on the bootentry: label="kernelpath params" --Also take care of using a texteditor which doesnt automatically break lines if they are too long (will break bootentries), also it shouldn't modificate the encoding and lineendings of the config!
