build minflsh

Introduction

If you want to push a dbox without running software to debug-mode, you need a file named minflsh.tar.gz.
This archive contains files with copyright from Sun or Betaresearch, so it is not available on normal way.
You can build it yourself, for example from the copied files form another box.

Necessary:

The copied files of a BR software and a text editor

The procedure

Directory provide:

We need the following directory-strukture:
A general directory named minflsh
There you need the following strukture:
/kernel
/root
/root/bin
/root/lib
/root/platform
/root/platform/bin
/root/platform/drv
/root/platform/lib

Except/kernel these listings correspond to those of the BR software
Now we can insert the necessary files:

Orginal-Dateien		minflsh
/root/platform/kernel/os	->	/kernel/os
/root/bin/initactor	->	/root/bin/initactor
/root/lib/libinit.so.1.0	->	/root/lib/libinit.so.1.0
/root/lib/libnana.so.1.0	->	/root/lib/libnana.so.1.0
/root/platform/bin/ddf	->	/root/platform/bin/ddf
/root/platform/bin/ddfexec	->	/root/platform/bin/ddfexec
/root/platform/drv/drv_to_inst	->	/root/platform/drv/drv_to_inst
/root/platform/lib/libcx.s.so	->	/root/platform/lib/libcx.s.so
/root/platform/lib/libddf.so.1.0	->	/root/platform/lib/libddf.so.1.0
/root/platform/lib/libddfdrv.so.1.0	->	/root/platform/lib/libddfdrv.so.1.0
tuner.so	->	/root/plaform/drv/flash.so

Now open /root/platform/drv/drv_to_inst with a text editor.
Delete all entries, we need only one line:
flash 5

Now we need a file to execute the whole thing.
With Windows it is easy, the boot manager provides the neccesary Script (enable_debug_with_minflsh).
For Linux you build you a Script named DO
Comes purely:

start it with:
./do dboxip nfs-mntpoint

That's it.
With this files you can enable the debug-mode, also if the BR-Software in the flash is damaged.
This files do not work with the method to enable the debug-mode without shortcircuit.
For this you need a Chorus-Kernel from as BR-Software earlier 1.6
