Developing for a Telsey F8L STB (BCM7413 Based)

28 September 2014 - 13:38

Hello! i am new in this forum, i dont know if here is the correct site for post this because is not directly related to openPLI but is about developing for a STB based in a Broadcom SoC.

i have a STB with similiar hardware of some of the supported STBs by OpenPLI, most especifically the model of my STB is a Telsey F8L and the processor is a Broadcom BCM7413, actually i have accesed to the Bootloader via a internal Serial Port of the STB, here is the output of the device.
Spoiler

the device loaded firmware is only capable to stream video of a service provided by a ISP of my country, but only that, i cant watch videos from youtube or other sites, my goal is make the device capable to stream videos of youtube and also make it capable to browse the web, and if is posible i want to use it as a low power linux computer (i mean make it support a keyboard, mouse and also install a lightweight environment like openbox or LXDE)

at this moment the only advance i have made modifying the STB is the activation of the Telnet, but only that, the device dont have the kernel module for keyboard support, i have compiled a kernel module of the 2.6.18 kernel source code using a toolchain for MIPSEL (the toolchains target architecture is MIPS32r1 and uses GCC 4.1.2 and UCLIBC 0.9.29) but the device dont load the module with the insmod or modprobe command, i give the error "invalid module format", can someone help me with that?

my other question are... is possible to flash the bootloaders and firmwares of the OpenPLI STBs on my STB? if is not possible, how i can make one for my STB?

thanks in advance! and sorry for my bad english, in my country the english is not a official language.
