Hi @perexg , do you think, this device is also supported? I tried to boot from flash but without success. Can you make an educated guess which port might be the serial console from this picture? Does it look similar to other devices you have worked with? img_20180712_155530

perexg commented 5 years ago

I don't think that it's the compatible device with the axe firmware. I think that the serial port is on one of the white 4-pin connector (I would try the one nearby the DC input at first - usually, those connectors have GND/3V on the border pins).

Have you tried to obtain the GPL software from the vendor? They should provide all GPL software they used in the firmware according the licence to the end user (kernel/uboot etc.).

danielkucera commented 5 years ago

Hi @perexg , is the storage layout (1 MB NOR / 128 MB NAND) similar to Telestar? I suppose that the SPI NOR chip contains bootloader. Could you provide a dump from your device?

danielkucera commented 5 years ago

Ok, I dumped that nor (attached). It contains:

Ok, I managed to compile and boot u-boot, still need to correctly configure NAND flash

Ok, I'm much further today. I have booted kernel with loaded drivers, working ethernet and running minisatip8:

Now I need to find a sat dish with LNB to test if it really works... @perexg , are you interrested in pulling those changes with instructions into your repo or should I maintain my own fork?

danielkucera commented 5 years ago

@perexg , booting stucks on following line for me: nc -l 127.0.0.1:1001 -e /bin/true https://github.com/perexg/satip-axe/blob/master/fs-add/etc/init.d/rcS#L124

How should this work?

@danielkucera I bought this device but it won't start. The device after switching on is looking for new software on the internet because it is set up but it does not find it and later nothing happens. What can I do? Which connector is rs232 and what should I upload to start the server and get to the settings (webinterpace)

danielkucera commented 4 years ago

Not a good device to buy. IMG_20200116_192353

danielkucera commented 4 years ago

Connect some usb to serial (TTL) adapter and upload the log here.

paluseb commented 4 years ago

I turned on the device, then connected the network cable and then connected the pendrive with the new software. Sorry for my English bootlog.txt

paluseb commented 4 years ago

Why "Not a good device to buy." I uploaded a log on github.

danielkucera commented 4 years ago

Because it's not supported by the manufacturer nor by satip-axe.

these lines right at the begining are suspicious:

LOADER.C 4273> Verifying Upgrader Group [1]
Erasing FlashRom
Programming Image
LOADER.C 1494>Preparing to start Application

do you have some tool for SPI flash programming? I can send you alternative u-boot I compiled.

paluseb commented 4 years ago

I don't have a programmer. But I may be looking for someone who has the right equipment and skills. If possible, send these files and commands that need to be programmed.

danielkucera commented 4 years ago

What's your goal? To run the original firmware or my not yet working version of satip-axe?

paluseb commented 4 years ago

At the beginning I want to run the original firmware. I don't know that later. Can your software run with a usb stick?

danielkucera commented 4 years ago

It can run from USB but not without modifying and disabling the original software. Try USB upgrade from here https://www.megasat.tv/en/support/downloads-de/download-info/satip-server-2-firmware/

paluseb commented 4 years ago

I tried it but it doesn't work. However, I noticed an error here: webremote/advertise.c 914>Advertise Created Successfully{Tsk[0x1c1c3cc] Ret[0] Sudp[38]}ETH LinkUpStatus...: Linkup IP Settings Mode...: Manual DHCP Status........: Success IP Addr............: 192.168.5.10 NetMask............: 255.255.255.0 Gateway Addr.......: 192.168.5.254 PriDns.............: 192.168.5.254 Sec Dns.............: 0.0.0.0 MAC Addr...........: B8:87:1E:**0**:AF:55. log1.txt

After changing the network settings (pc-server lan connection) I uploaded the loader again and now I have such a log. log3.txt

Now I have access to the megasat webinterface

Thank you very much for all the clarifications. You helped me a lot.

danielkucera commented 4 years ago

So does everything work ok now?

paluseb commented 4 years ago

Yes, probably yes. I haven't connected the antenna yet but I can make all settings on the device
