Tivolater 3.1 Upgrade and many more utilities are available on our Members Area (http://www.digitalinsurrection.com/entrance.php) or at a select few sites on the Internet.
-------------------
v31 Tivolater updated by KRavEN
based on Digitz original 2.5 tivolater
V31 Upgrade CD by superzap
edited to work with v31 tivolater by KRavEN
files distributed: KRavEN-v31-Upgrade.iso
readme.txt
31-TiVolater.zip
This update will not effect your season passes or recorded shows.
If you are running mvchannels do a "mvchannels reset" before performing the upgrade
There are 2 basic installation methods:
A. KRavEN-v31-Upgrade.iso
This method copies over the necessary files and sets up the install to start on
boot. DTiVo A drive is in transfer to a PC:
1. Backup your DTiVo hard drives
2. Burn the iso file
3. Boot from CD and enter:
upgrd31.sh
to setup installation without flashing the prom
or
upgrd31.sh -p
to setup installation and flash the prom
( this is only needed if you have a unit that has never had the
prom flashed before and is running 2.5 or 2.5.2 )
4. Put A drive back into DTiVo, install will be automatic and take about
20 minutes, check your TV for a couple of info screens.
B. From bash on the DTiVo:
1. Backup your DTiVo hard drives
2. Download the 31-TiVolater.zip file
3. Transfer files Update.tcl and 31Update.cpio.gz to /var/hack.
4. If you are running mvchannels do a "mvchannels reset" before performing the upgrade
5. Enter:
cd /var/hack
chmod +x Update.tcl
./Update.tcl /var/hack ntsc
6. This will run for about 20 minutes and reboot to updating database
and 3.1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Initial configuration:
Turbonet and tivonet drivers are built into 3.1. Almost exactly like they
were with my upgrade
Follow the same steps as with my upgrade if you need to set a
static IP, otherwise it will be assigned by DHCP one is available
Daily call does not go over eth1 unless the proper dial string is
entered
The initial image is very minimal as far as features go. It only has vim,
joe, bash on ttyS3 at 115200 or telnet, midnight commander, noscramble
module loaded, and tivoftpd. the nfs and smb modules have been renamed
smb.off and nfs.off. If you wnat them to load simply take off the f's at
the end. The prom will also be flashed to a non-sigcheck prom and the
initrd will be removed from the kernel.
It has a few new usefull alias's:
rmrw : remounts root readwrite
rmro : syncs the disk and remounts root readonly
ll : detailed ls, same as ls -l
ls : ls in color, same as ls --color
vi : same as vim
mc : midnight commander, mouse driven menu system with built in
hex editor, file viewer, launches external programs. I've
only gotten the mouse support to work under CRT and SecureCRT
Joe and vim work correctly. No viewing issues under serial or telnet
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modules:
All hacks should be distributed in modules for ease of use. Most of the
essential modules have already been created by various people. Please feel
free to do any on your own.
To create a module, here are some basic instructions. Please feel free to
look at the other modules to see how they were done:
1. mkdir foo
2. cd foo
3. Create your directory structure like you would on the tivo with the
root of foo being the root of the tivo
4. Once you get all the files in place where they go on the tivo (please
keep all hacks off of /var unless they are non-essential files and your
hack will automatically recreate the files if they go away).
type:
find . | cpio -ov -Hcrc > ../hackname.cpio
from the foo directory
5. cd ..
6. gzip hackname.cpio
7. Now you can distribute the module
8. To install the module:
Put the module in the root directory on the tivo
gzip -d hackname.cpio.gz
cpio -idmu < ./hackname.cpio
This will force overwrite any file currently on the tivo.
9. Most modules have a script that performs the install and performs
other tasks like adding startup commands to rc.remote-login
