DM500 Bigger Memory

  • What are you trying to say here?


    My dm500c looked like this at some point while I was experimenting net boot options w/ dm500c:


    ~ > cat /proc/cpuinfo
    processor : 0
    cpu : STBx25xx
    clock : 252MHz
    revision : 9.80 (pvr 5151 0950)
    bogomips : 250.88
    machine : Dream Multimedia TV Dreambox
    plb bus clock : 63MHz
    ~ > mount
    /dev/root on / type nfs (ro,v2,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,hard,udp,nolock,addr=10.19.0.98)
    none on /dev type devfs (rw)
    /proc on /proc type proc (rw,nodiratime)
    devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
    none on /tmp type ramfs (rw)
    10.19.0.98:/tftpboot/root/var on /var type nfs (rw,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,udp,lock,addr=10.19.0.98)
    ~ > df
    Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /dev/root 5795204 4020676 1480140 73% /
    10.19.0.98:/tftpboot/root/var 5795232 4020704 1480160 73% /var
    ~ >


    I just could't figure out how to do automatic net boot without
    interrupting boot process and selecting net boot via console. Sooo, I forgot it.
    But above command output looks good. :smiling_face:

  • I'm trying to say here that DM500 could be upgrade memory using external hard drive enclosure that support LAN (without PC). /var in DM500 hardware could be replace with /var in hard drive. So for the first, DM500 mounting HD and then /var in HD replacing /var DM500 automatically after DM500 restart. Look attachment for hardware
