I found another solution to use the NVMe sdd device as a source of multiboot location

Just use Silicon Power PD60 Enclosure USB-C Case M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD/M.2 SATA SSD

PD60 Enclosure _Take Your M.2 SSD Further With The New PD60 Enclosure_Silicon Power

And we use the USB 3.0 port of SF8008 Supreme

with the STARTUP_2 multiboot configuration:

boot usb0.sdc2 'root=/dev/sdc3 rootfstype=ext4 kernel=/dev/sdc2 rootwait blkdevparts=mmcblk0:1M(boot),1M(bootargs),1M(bootoptions),3M(baseparam),4M(pqparam), 4M(logo),4M(deviceinfo),4M(softwareinfo),4M(loaderdb),32M(loader),8M(trustedcore),16M(linuxkernel1),16M(linuxkernel2),16M(linuxkernel3),16M(linuxkernel4), -(userdata)'

I tried the same config on an my old sf8008twin and it worked on the same e2 images,

so the problem of crashing at 100% boot is a problem due to the recovery file which blocks the sdc and sdd config and only accepts the sda config

After trying the Octagone sf8008 Supreme

The stable E2 images that support multibooting from an SDD - NVMe hard drive :

OpenBH 5.4, Openpli-9.0-release, Openvix-6.5-rel.003, NonSoloSat 32, Hyperion 9.3.

But for the other E2 images,

they crash and stop after booting, after 100% is displayed on the receiver screen :

PurE2 7.4, OpenHDF 7.3, OpenATV 7.3, OpenATV 7.4, OpenATV 7.5-devel, OpenTR 11, OpenEight 6.8, OpenDroid 7.3, OpenSPA 8.3. 002, Egami-10.5

Hello,

The advantage of using the NVMe SSD M.2 device for multiboot locations :

is to benefit from the read/write high speed of the NVMe disk. Read/write speed : 2000/1500 MB/s.

The combination of the NVMe protocol and the PCIe connection to an SSD

allows you to achieve read and write speeds four times faster than those of a SATA SSD operating with the SCSI protocol.


From "recovery" I am unable to install E2 image to NVMe SSD location.

The kernel is not recognized by recovery and of course it must be mounted by the system first to be accepted.

So, I chose to manually copy the 2 partitions "kernel" (16 Mb) and "rootfs" (2GB)

from the image already installed on my 128GB microsdcard.

Perhaps, someone can help me, to solve this problem.

Hello,

We can use the ssd drive for multiboot slots ?

Yes we can.

Finally, I managed to get openvix willo 6.4 to work on the nvme disk without passing by 'emmc'.

https://www.mediafire.com/file…t-sf8008-supreme.rar/file

We must urge the "Octagon firm" to modify the "recovery" so that the nvme disk accepts all images and not just openvix-willo-6.4.

openvix.6.4-willobuild.jpgtelnet-mount-openvix-6.4.jpg

How to do it ?

1- First, I installed openvix on my microsd card.

2-Then, I copied the content of the two partition kernel 16MB (non fat) and rootfs 2GB (ext4) on my nvme disk

3- I modified the line of STARTUP_5 "boot" option like that :

boot hdd0.sdd2 'root=/ dev/sdd3 rootfstype=ext4 kernel=/dev/sdd2 rootwait blkdevparts=mmcblk0:1M(boot),1M(bootargs),1M(bootoptions),3M(baseparam),4M(pqparam), 4M(logo),4M(deviceinfo ),4M(softwareinfo),4M(loaderdb),32M(loader),8M(trustedcore),16M(linuxkernel1),16M(linuxkernel2),16M(linuxkernel3),16M(linuxkernel4), -(userdata)'

SF8008 - how changing the name of the E2 image in the multiboot ? And for the openvix E2 image no video option 2160p 30Hz !

What are the files involved in changing the name of the E2 image in the multiboot

For example, I installed an E2 image of openeight 6.8

And I want its name to appear in multiboot like this:

rootfs2-openeight-6.8-py2.7.18-220822

Solution :

To change name Enigma 2 image in multiboot image selector

edit file issue

rootfs2-openeight-6.8-py2.7.18-220822 \n \l

and edit issue.net

rootfs2-openeight-6.8-py2.7.18-220822 %h

path : etc/

issue

issue.net

@najdine...thanks for info. What is the difference between _mmc.zip and _usb.zip please.

Hello, friend

octagon sf8008 needs the _mmc.zip extension to install images on micro sd card and on the 4 internal eMMC disk slots,

that's why if the openeight-6.8.1 firmware create a _usb.zip file, it must be renamed _mmc.zip

Bonjour

le principe est simple

la 1ere partition de 16 Mo (system : non formaté) et après le démarrage le système la converti en ( other )

la 2ème partition doit être 2Go (system : Ext4) réservé pour image enigma2

la 3ème partition doit avoir 16 M (system : non formaté) et après le démarrage le système la converti en ( other )

la 4ème partition doit être 2Go (system : EXt4) réservé pour image enigma2

Attention !

la 5ème partition doit être réservé à l'espace data (sauvegarde des données par SF8008),

sinon SF8008 se bloque au démarrage.

Il faut bien calculer l'espace réservé au DATA pour qu'il ne reste pas d'espace vide sur Micro SD card après l'installation des autres images enigma2.

la 6ème partition doit avoir 16 M (system : non formaté) et après le démarrage le système la converti en ( other )

la 7ème partition doit être 2Go (system : EXt4) réservé pour image enigma2

etc.…

Je vais vous donner un autre boot sans la partition Null de 16Mo (system NTFS).

vous n'aurez pas besoin.

1 - faire de nouveau le formatage de votre carte miscro sd,

démarrage en Recovery Mode

choisir SD Card Partition

il va vous faire les 5 premières partitions

2 - mettre votre SD Card sur pc et suivre mon exemple mais n'efface pas la 5ème partition réservé au Data.

la 6ème partition doit avoir 16 M (system : non formaté) et après le démarrage le système la converti en ( other )

la 7ème partition doit être 2Go (system : EXt4) réservé pour image enigma2

3- Il faut communiquer avec votre image openatv-6.4 par DCC

192.168.8.100

user : root

pass : root ou openatv ou votre password.

/boot

et remplace les fichiers de votre répertoire boot.

par ce nouveau fichier boot.

1- you need to install a softawre : MiniTool.Partition.Wizard.Technician.v12.3

MiniTool.Partition.Wizard.Technician.v12.3-SeuPirate.zip

2- Delete all partition in your msd card and convert its MBR Hard Drive disk to GPT Disk,

3-Begin to create yours partitions(16MB; 2GB;16MB;2GB;Msd_Data space;Null16MB;16MB; 2GB;Null16MB...)

and choose unallocated space on msd card to create a partition.

4- Follow these steps to create partitions on msd card :

Each enigma 2 image needs a 16MB partition (file system : other) for booting

and another 2GB partition (file system : Ext4) for firmware.

and I added another Null partition of 16 M (file system : NTFS) in order to be able to restore an enigma2 image

that I saved before on a partition of my HDD under windows.

5- How to create a partition ?

1- first E2 image : partition01:  16 MB (file system : other) + partition02 : slot5: openeight-6.8 - size : 2GB (file system : Ext4)

2- second E2 image : partition03 : 16 MB (file system : other) + partition04 : slot6: Egami-10.0 - size : 2GB (file system : Ext4)

3-partition05 reserved to mSD_data (file system : Ext4)

4- partition06 reserved to Null 16 MB (file system : NTFS)

5- third E2 image : partition07 : 16 MB (file system : other) + partition08 : slot7: openhdf-6.5 - size : 2GB (file system : Ext4)

6- partition09 reserved to Null 16 MB (file system : NTFS)

7- fourth E2 image : partition10 : 16 MB (file system : other) + partition11 : slot8: openbh-5.011 - size : 2GB (file system : Ext4)

8- partition12 reserved to Null 16 MB (file system : NTFS)

6-  After partitioning your microsd card, you need to put boot directory files in your first enigma2 image

and reboot device.

Menu,

Flash online,

and choose your enigma2 image to install.

that's all enjoy !

7- See and follow the picture below.

Oh, OK, I understand now... so... the problem only concerns the Define OS 6.3 firmware for Octagon devices, which is actually something like Enigma2. Or is it really some Enigma2 distribution?

it is a port of there own firmware used on the non Linux octagon STB's

However it still has a similar file structure with root access, i no longer have the device myself so unable to test where to place a script any longer.

The location of oscam initd files may be a clue.

In the meantime, thank you all for your help, I thought to see with cron, for the moment without result...

Thank you all for your help, finally I found the solution

how change the MAC ADDRESS of Octagon SF8008 on define?

Just edit the networking file

path: /etc/init.d/networking

find "ifconfig eth0 up" in line 63

and add a new line 64 with your mac address.

ifconfig eth0 hw ether A0:BB:3E:XX:XX:XX

Enjoy !
