ich hatte die firmware der azbox version 0.9.1314 so portiert das sie auf der arcor box startet und halbwegs benutzbar ist.
hier ist das ganze zeugs zu finden:

Ja danke, über das Wiki bin ich schon gestolpert.
Aber da die Überschrift für die 101er ist, war ich mir nicht sicher.
Mal sehen, ob ein Kumpel seine ausrangierte Box rausrückt.
"portiert" heißt, du hast noch was dran geändert? Also eine aktuelle Firmware Version, mit einigen gefixten Bugs, kann man
nicht so einfach flashen bzw. funktioniert nicht auf Anhieb?
was nicht funktioniert ist der HDMI Ausgang... und das macht die Sache zumindest für HD content etwas sinnlos.
Hm. les' ich zum ersten Mal, im ital. Forum bin ich über das Problem bisher nicht gestolpert. Ist natürlich nicht optimal aber besser als nichts und wenn man das sogar noch fixen könnte, um so besser.
da die firmware der azbox aber insgesamt noch sehr buggy und instabil ist, warte ich erst mal ab bis da was brauchbares rauskommt. danach werd ich dann noch mal probieren das HDMI Problem zu fixen.
Naja, wie gesagt, die Version 0.9.1314 ist nicht aktuell.
EDIT: o.k. hab' mittlerweile die Readme gelesen. Ist nicht ganz so einfach.
Danke auch an dieser Stelle an Alle die es möglich gemacht haben!
azbox firmware (0.9.1314) on pirelli
porting the azbox firmware has some problems:
1. the IR handling is different
2. the pirelli box uses the builtin hdmi chip of the SMP8634, while the azbox uses an external one.
3. the pirelli box has 192mb ram while the azbox has 256mb
fix for the first problem:
ir-convert.c
this contains the code to convert the event based IR handling into socket communication that
remote-controls the ir_control application.
the key mapping is not complete and might need some rearrangement ... check the "mapping" array
in the usb-root-archive this binary is located at /bin/a.out
fix for the 2. and 3. problem:
the SDecoderServer application is the most important one. it handles the HDMI and the audio/video playback.
with the original application, no video will play because the HDMI init will fail.
the patched application has modified the I2C communication so that it will talk to the builtin SiI9002.
however as I found out, the video playback on HDMI does not work. maybe I missed some other place that needs
to be patched as well.
the 3. problem is not really critical, however it affects the playback of MKV files with at least 720p resolution.
the SDecoderServer reserves two video buffers for playback in this case... with 64mb for decoding memory this is not
possible and the playback fails.
Interestingly if the MKV file is converted into a MP4 then it will play without problems, so I patched
the MKV playback to always use only one video buffer for playback.
ok, now we get to the point of setting up the box 
we need two things, a new linux kernel that is able to boot from USB drive and of course a USB drive
with all the system files.
it might be possible to strip down the system so that it fits into flash, but it is easier for developement
to have it on a USB drive.
in this distribution you will find the file "lzma.bin" this is a linux kernel compressed with lzma and a small loader
that decompresses the kernel into RAM, enables the USB ports and starts the kernel.
the lzma.bin needs to be written to flash so that the yamon can load and start it.
I chose to put the lzma.bin at the end of the flash at 0xade00000
the usb drive needs to be formatted with ext2 filesystem, so it is best to do this with Linux.
after it is formatted, unpack the usb-root-1314.tar.gz to the usb drive.
finally add the following lines to xenv:
a.linux_cmd "console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda1 rw rootdelay=5 mem=108m"
y.startdelay "2"
y.start "copy 0xade00000 0x91400000 0x120000; go 0x91400000"
the rootdelay depends a bit on your usb drive. about 5seconds seems to be the minimum. some usb drives need 6 - 7 seconds to initialise.
now you should be able to restart the box.
the LED will turn off during start and after some seconds you should see the azbox logo on screen.
the original and patched version of SDecoderServer is included for reference.
