I find no way to avoid bus error except copying binary to /tmp.

I hope I found a solution.
@pieterg/gutemine: If I use ubiformat, I don't need to do a flash_erase before, or?

[pieterg]

no, you should avoid flash_erase (because it clears erasecounters)

[betacentauri]

Thanks pieterg.

Here's a new version without using flash_erase for rootfs.

Wait! There's something wrong. System don't reboots automatically...

[betacentauri]

Strange. Flashing was successful, I only needed to reboot "manually" (switch off and on). No usb flash was needed.

After that I have flashed 2 times without problems (perhaps it has something to do that I have tested with a self build gstreamer 1.0.7 image which is known to eat much memory).

My receiver does not automatically reboot after flashing(in plugin).

In telnet ok.

[betacentauri]

If you start the receiver manually everything works fine? Then flashing was successful and "only" reboot didn't work.
Currently I don't understand why sometimes the box don't reboot.
And you only have exchanged the binary. You didn't change anything in your plugin, right?

working!(problem os.system)

[betacentauri]

Thanks for your work! Unfortunately I have no time for testing. I hope I can test tomorrow afternoon.

[Pedro_Newbie]

Tested it on a Solo2  and on a duo and everything is working fine, only point of criticism is the part when a valid backup is chosen and in the title bar is displayed a message:

For flashing your receiver files are needed:

Select parameter for start flash

kernel_cfe_auto.bin, root_cfe_auto.jffs2

This problem = skin PLi-HD.

More precisely screen ChoiceBox.

Why you need a PIG in the window, because it does not have enough space for information...

[betacentauri]

Hi Dima73,

yes, works great! Thanks!

1. To the ChoiceBox: Please exchange it with MessageBox and choose simple = True as parameter. Then it looks like in your screenshots.
Line 483: dlg = self.session.openWithCallback(self.Callbackflashing, MessageBox, text, simple = True, list = open_list)
Delete line 487

2. Some progress informations were really good. I mean while creating and restoring backup.
I can add a new parameter in ofgwrite which shows less informations and these could be shown in GUI. What do you thing?

1)Ok.I'll post the new version in a week.

2)Information when creating a backup is added.

 

Restoring backup as?

init 2...

[betacentauri]

Yeah, you're almost right. But kernel flashing is done in runlevel 3 so after that you can show some information. After that rootfs flashing is done in runlevel 2.

I'll adapt the binary and you can choose whether you like to show informations or not ;-)

[betacentauri]

Hi Dima73,

 

here is the new version. With parameter -q program writes less log informations to the console.

Hi Dima73,

Checked.

It looks like this->'self.session.open(Console, text,[message, cmd])':

Looks good. Will try it tomorrow.

Hi Dima73,
 
it's a little bit strange. When I execute ofgwrite manually in telnet I see this:

Flashing kernel ...done
Flashing rootfs. System will reboot in less than 2 minutes. If it don't reboot you most likely need to flash via USB stick!
....

After printing "Flashing rootfs. System will..." text to console, I execute "init 2". Why is the text not shown in GUI when you flash via plugin? Could that be related to kernel flashing??

[Dimitrij]

Need pause.

 

1)Flashing kernel ...done
Flashing rootfs. System will reboot in less than 2 minutes. If it don't reboot you most likely need to flash via USB stick!
2)pause 2 seconds

3)init 2
