Hi to everyone.

 

I'm pretty new here and expecially with my new 800se

 

I've been running since 2 days ago the OpenPLi 3 image without any issue using my WiFi onboard. (recognized as r8712u

 

Once moved to OpenPLi 4 it's only available the LAN card.

 

Can someone be so kind to give some clear tips or ipk package to make it work on the new Image?

 

thank's a lot in advance for kind answers.

 

Alessandro

Maybe we need to define correct machine features after MiLo changes (kernelwifi)

Look here: http://sourceforge.n...reambox.inc#l23

 

The following change is required:

 

-MACHINE_FEATURES += "alsa usbhost 3dtv switchoff tpm dreambox"
+MACHINE_FEATURES += "alsa usbhost wlan kernelwifi externalwifi 3dtv switchoff tpm dreambox"

So you are basically telling me that i need to replace the dreambox.inc file 

with the one posted in your link and edit it as below before to copy it into my box?

 

# dreambox.inc
include conf/machine/include/openpli.inc
 
EXTRA_IMAGEDEPENDS += "dreambox-secondstage-${MACHINE}"
 
GLIBC_EXTRA_OECONF = "--with-tls --with-__thread"
 
MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS += "dreambox-dvb-modules-${MACHINE}"
 
include conf/machine/include/autoload-filesystems.inc
 
MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS = " \
gst-plugin-dreambox-dvbmediasink \
gst-plugin-dtsdownmix \
ntfs-3g \
kernel-module-cifs \
kernel-module-hmac \
kernel-module-md4 \
kernel-module-ecb \
dreambox-boot-progress \
"
 
#MACHINE_FEATURES += "alsa usbhost 3dtv switchoff tpm dreambox"
MACHINE_FEATURES += "alsa usbhost wlan kernelwifi externalwifi 3dtv switchoff tpm dreambox"
# Add "dreambox" override for recipes
MACHINEOVERRIDES .= ":dreambox"
 
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/bootloader = "dreambox-secondstage-${MACHINE}"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-dreambox"
 
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/blindscan-dvbs = "dreambox-blindscan-utils"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/blindscan-dvbc = "dreambox-blindscan-utils"
 
# Dreamboxes need old kernel headers to work
LINUX_LIBC_HEADERS_VERSION = "3.1"
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-libc-headers = "${LINUX_LIBC_HEADERS_VERSION}"
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-libc-headers-native = "${LINUX_LIBC_HEADERS_VERSION}"
PREFERRED_VERSION_nativesdk-linux-libc-headers = "${LINUX_LIBC_HEADERS_VERSION}"
 
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-dreambox = "3.2"
 
KERNEL_IMAGETYPE = "vmlinux"
KERNEL_OUTPUT = "${KERNEL_IMAGETYPE}"
KERNEL_CONSOLE = "${@base_contains('OPENPLI_FEATURES', 'usbconsole', 'ttyS0,115200', 'null', d)}"
 
DREAMBOX_BUILDIMAGE = "buildimage --arch ${MACHINE} ${EXTRA_BUILDCMD} \
--erase-block-size ${DREAMBOX_ERASE_BLOCK_SIZE} \
--flash-size ${DREAMBOX_FLASH_SIZE} \
--sector-size ${DREAMBOX_SECTOR_SIZE}"
 
 
Is it correct the modified RED part?
 
where that file is located once connected to box with ftp?
Thanks

Thanks i am trying build now.
 
I posted the same paramaters as vuxxo.inc (vu has kernel 3.1 and dreambox has 3.2 so it should be ok)
 
BTW, why not making change on dreambox.inc like other boxes?

The fix will install by default wifi drivers into the image. So that users don't have to install manually kernel modules,firmware etc.

 

I guess if you run the following (via telnet/ssh) will install the missing drivers.

 

opkg update
opkg install firmware-rtl8712u
opkg install kernel-module-r8712u

you could also use DCC, it gives you the possibility to connect to the box with telnet and ftp(it´s very handy and user vriendly) ;)

Always restart the box from the menu using the remote, never from the commandline using 'reboot' or 'shutdown'.

 

Enigma needs to be shutdown correctly, in order to flush runtime data in memory (EPG, changed channel list settings, config, etc).

ok.. now once inside the NETWORK System menu it show both adapter LAN and r8712u but...

 

once inside the WiFi panel and entering the Configuration of it.. it report  : Wireless Plugin not installed

 

I execuded succesfull those 3 telnet commands and made a hard reboot.

 

 

opkg update
opkg install firmware
-rtl8712u
opkg install kernel
-module-r8712u

 

Something else is missing or to be enabled somewhere?
