Hi guys, having made a leap of faith and parted with just clear of £1K here's my first write up on the DM8000.
Flash Your DM8000 - The Easy Way
Flashing a new firmware (image) by Browser
What you need to flash
You need the image file you want to flash. Image files have the extension *.nfi. You can't flash otherimages like *.img files. Don't try it - it won't work.
You need either a DHCP server, a configured bootloader or a serial cable and a terminal programlike HyperTerm.
You need a browser, and a network cable. If you connect the Dreambox directly to the PC,you need a cross cable, if you connect through a switch/hub/router you need a normal (non-cross) cable, or patch lead.
To flash a new image, you can use the second stage loader. It must be present and not broken.
The following steps assume you have a DHCP server. If you don't have one, you have to setup an IP address in the bootloader's serial setup.
- Power down the Dreambox, using 'shutdown' and by switching off the main power on the rear panel.
Standby is not enough!
- Press and hold the 'Down' button on the front panel to the left of the display, marked on the picture above in Red
- Switch on the power using the switch on the rear panel of the Dreambox.
- A text '*** STOP ***' should appear.
- Now you can release the 'Down' button.The bootloader entered the 'waiting' mode.
- Above the '*** STOP ***' text, there should appear an IP-address (four decimal values with a dot in between). If there appears the string 'dhcp' instead,the box still searches for a DHCP server. Wait a bit. If it doesn't change, something doesn'twork with the DHCP server. Check wether network cable is plugged in etc. If it just doesn'twork, set an IP using the serial terminal)
- Now, open a browser on your PC.
- Enter in the address line 'http://ip/' (where ip must be replaced with the value in the LCD).
- On the bottom of the page, there's a link called 'firmware upgrade'. Click it.
- On the next page, you can select the flash image you want to flash. be sure that it has the '.nfi' extension.
- Click on 'FLASH!' and wait. It might take some time to upload and flash the image.
- When the browser shows its finished switch the box off using the switch on the rear, and then power on again. The new image should be flashed and working.
See I said it was the easy way.
Cheers
MCC.
