Howto boot Linux

2008-12-25T16:57:18Z

Mylo:

Requirements:
* working JTAG interface '''or''' a working modchip
* working Serial connection, 115200 8n1 '''or''' use the "Compiled-in Kernel Boot Parameter"(the lazy way without a yamon/serial connection)

ok, lets start.

First download the Yamon boot image from '''[[Media:Ya.zip|here]]''' and the Linux boot image from '''[[Media:Lx.zip|here]]'''.

extract both files to the first partition of the x300t hard disk (either upload it with FTP or connect the drive to a PC).

now grab the latest x300t patch tool from '''[[Media:X300tpatch3.zip|here]]'''

use the patch tool as usual, but add the /yamon parameter when starting the tool.
as soon as you press the OK button of the x300t you should see the YAMON prompt in the terminal window.

the YAMON is required just once to set the Linux kernel parameter

use the setxenv command to display the current xenv parameters.

usually there should not be a parameter "a.linux_cmd" .. so we have to create one like this

'''setxenv a.linux_cmd "console=ttyS0 root=/dev/hda3"'''

this command will write the new parameter to the flash.

now reboot the x300t and use the patch too again, but now add the /linux parameter when starting.

after some seconds you should the the Linux Kernel booting up.

please note that you need a Linux root partition on a NFS share, USB stick or hard disk to really use the Linux.

__NOTOC__

==Welcome to the wiki of t-hack.com==

T-hack.com has been founded at the 14. December 2007, to invent/improve the software on X300T/X301T and similar boxes, like DIT9719 / KISS KMM / BT Vision/ Bluewin TV-Box /V-BOX / VIP 1216.

'''Linux'''
* You can boot linux, but the microcodes can't (yet) be loaded . So unfortunaly you won't have an Image and sound.

'''Windows CE'''
* Its possible to compile and run own native as well as .NET-based applications on the box. Also its possible to debug it with MSVC2005 & MSVC2008 (MSVC = Microsoft Visual Studio).

'''You can run any Code on the box''' but you need a Modchip or an external PC to patch the security-features. Soldering is required! Also you've to connect the internal HD to a PC for software-modifications once.

==Willkommen zum Wiki von t-hack.com==

'''Linux'''
* Linux kann auf der Box gebootet werden, da aber immer noch keine Microcodes geladen werden können, macht das wenig Sinn (Keine Ausgabe von Bild/Ton möglich).

'''Windows CE'''
* Es ist möglich eigene native Anwendungen als auch .net-basierende Anwendungen auf der Box auszuführen und mit MSVC2005 & MSVC2008 (MSVC = Microsoft Visual Studio) zu debuggen.

Konkret heisst das : Beliebigen, eigenen Code auf der Box ausführen ist möglich!

Erforderlich ist ein Modchip oder ein zusätzlicher Rechner (zum Patchen), jegliche Modifikation setzt das Löten an der Box und das zumindest einmalige Ausbauen der Festplatte voraus!
