    If an upgrade file such as this 'enigma2-softcams-oscam-all-images_11.505-emu-r791-arm+mips_all.ipk' ...is not available for your particular receiver then how difficult or is it possible ?? to load the equivalent binary file such as this 'oscam-svn11505-arm_v7-webif-oscam-emu-r792-patched.tar'...surely it's not just as simple as FTP'ing to your receiver..??

    It is difficult, specially for not experience users (I'm one of them), additional problem is if you are using Mac. I don't know why download section only have tar files and not ipk files as it was before.

    First, find out what processor / chipset your Linux set top box contains:

    cat /proc/cpuinfo

    ..or..

    cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep isa


    It should be an item called "isa". There should be a type of chipset architecture (mips/el, arm-v7, arm-v8, sh4, x86, ...).


    You can also search for a device specification on the Internet - and find the chipset architecture.


    Then you have to search for a Oscam binary file for your set-top-box. Of course there is a chance to compile Oscam source codes. However, it will take longer and it may also be a big problem - to run a "make" compiler in lightweight Linux set-top-boxes.
