Script to partitionate the "micro-SD Card (sda)" and the NVMe Hard drive (sdd) for octagon sf8008 Supreme

Quote from frank087234

Is there Telnet command to boot into different Slot ??

This should do the trick:

cd /boot
cp STARTUP_2 STARTUP
reboot

where the number is the number of the slot.

It worked thanks...can you make it a script?

No I'm sorry, I'm not good at making scripts, maybe someone else can do it for you.

The given commands work on oe-alliance images only. If you try on pli-based image, they will not execute.

The path for oe-a is "/boot" while on pli is "/media/mmc" (at least on sf8008).

I created a script that checks and uses the appropriate directory of the STARTUP files and informs which slots you can boot into.

If you select a slot within the limits, but the appropriate STARTUP file is missing, you will be notified.

You will have to run the script exclusively on Telnet to be able to select the desired slot with the keyboard.

I recommend putting it on the hdd root and giving it 755 permissions so you can access it from all images.

If you want to boot directly from the image without using Telnet and PC, I can create a list of 50, 60 or 70 scripts, and you run them through AJPanel.

I've done something similar in the past with "old friend" Dreamboxd dm800se (see picture).

In this case, only the slots without the image name will be displayed (in dreambox I entered the name when I was flashing an image).

I don't think the use of Mutltiboot with scripts is interested in most users, but I will upload them for "curious" ones.

In the zip file below, you will find the folder "Multiboot_Manager", that contains 70 scripts for 70 slots.

You can use as many files as the slots of your system and delete the rest ones.

It's recommended to place the folder on the hdd root to make easy access from all images. Change the attributes of the directory and the contained files to 755.

You can execute the script you want, and you will boot on the corresponding image (slot).

If you want a graphical interface, you can run the scripts with the AJPanel File Manager. Bookmark the "Multiboot_Manager" directory to easily transfer to the files.

The files are simple scripts and are not able to read the image names and will only display the slots.

You can rename them by writing the appropriate name for each image, and the empty slots can be named [Empty].

Do NOT boοt in an empty slot because the system will hang on startup. In case you do that, you can come back with the Recovery menu.

Edit

Don't forget to rename the script in case you install a new image or upgrade an existing one.

I added protection to the empty slots to prevent the box from getting stuck in the boot, if the script is executed.

To operate, the script filename of empty slots must contain the word "Empty" (case-insensitive), e.g., "Slot-01 - [Empty].sh", "Slot-1_empty" etc.

If you select a slot that does not exist in your system (e.g., Slot-70) you will receive a message.

Also, if you select an existing slot but the STATUP file is missing, you will receive the corresponding message.

Hi;

I assume you have used the MultiBoot Flash Online Plugin ...

You need to follow the steps : First Format Ext4 ,,, then Un-mount ,, the proceed with partitioning to the number of slots you need

Then you are ready to flash any imgae ( your choice ) into those slots .... have fun.

how to unmount please?

Ho una sd da 32 gb cu cui ho fatto le partizioni per il multiboot con lo script Script to partitionate the "micro-SD Card (sda)" and the NVMe Hard drive (sdd) for octagon sf8008 Supreme.

E' già la terza volta che inizia a corrompersi e iniziano a calare gli slot e poi spariscono.

Sembra che in alcuni casi con alcuni firmware la scheda sd venga vista come un hd normale e il firmware ci scriva sopra.

E' mai successo a qualcuno?

Guardando in giro, ho trovato sul forum di openatv

Slot Extra Multiboot per sf8008 e sf8008m

uno script che invece di 11 slot ne crea 18 e sto testando se ha lo stesso problema.

google transalte:

I have a 32 GB SD card that I partitioned for multiboot with the script Script to partitionate the "micro-SD Card (sda)" and the NVMe Hard drive (sdd) for octagon sf8008 Supreme.

This is the third time it's started to corrupt, and the slots start to disappear, then disappear.

It seems that in some cases, with some firmware, the SD card is seen as a normal HD and the firmware writes to it.

Has this ever happened to anyone?

Looking around, I found on the openatv forum

Slot Extra Multiboot for sf8008 and sf8008m

a script that creates 18 slots instead of 11, and I'm testing to see if it has the same problem.

Se è per una SD da 32 GB ti conviene usare questo per partizionare la sd.
Le linee commentate (#) sono le istruzioni ma è già configurato così com'è, l'avevo configurato per la mia.

Dear developers Hello, can you write a 128GB nvme SSD partition, divided into 20 slots, each 4GB, whether it is feasible to do other space for the poster image caching

The scripts from the big guys have worked, here is the 128GB partition script.

Octagon SF8008 4K UHD Combo, Micro SD Kingston 64GB, OpenATV 7.2

Using the enigma2-plugin-extensions-multiboot-flashonline_7.1.ipk program, I first formatted the Kingston, and then I pressed the yellow button and an additional 28 slots were created.

Octagon SF8008 V3 Supreme, HP MicroSDXC mi210 64GB, OpenATV 7.6.0

Using the program enigma2-plugin-extensions-multiboot-flashonline_7.1.ipk, I first formatted the HP MicroSDXC mi210 64GB by pressing the Help button. When the process is finished, you press the Yellow button Partition Drive. When asked if you want to create partitions, press the Yellow button again for 64GB. Wait for the process to finish, and when asked if Enigma2 should restart, select YES. Here, 30 slots have been created.

I added Serbian Latin to the program, for those who want it you have it in a Zip archive.

So far, my favorite SW image installed. On Supreme, you can switch between slots without any problems.

I have 5 Micro SD cards and the only one I can partition is a 32 GB Kingston. The other 2 are Lexar cards and give an error when formatting. I insert them already formatted in FAT32, like the Kingston which works, but there is nothing to be done. I tried formatting them in Ext4 and partitioning, but it doesn't work.
