Fortis finally accepted the idea that users may want to use, as alternative image, an Enigma2 located on memory stick!
their first step was to modify the structure of .IRD file ... so complicated as nobody ( except Titan ) was'nt able to
implement the new flash images ... this was made by bootloader 6.xx.
Later, experimental at Optibox, Fortis released a sub version ... instead of Bootloader 6.40 ... 6.46 witch was able to
detect the presence and to load an Enigma2 image located on memory stick. The newest developement is Bootloader 7.6 ,
allready implemented into PKT image for Octagon 918G SE+ ( a cable version of Octagon 918S SE+ ) !!!
What's new in this version ?
The loader will accept in Boot-mode two commands :
* pressing CH-UP will load from a FAT32 MS an .IRD image file and will update the flash memory
* pressing CH-DWN will load in RAM from a FAT32 MS an Enigma2 image organised as follows : uImage file
( containing the Linux Kernel ) and root.img file ( containing the root file system) to be loaded in RAM and
mapped by the Kernel. The MS must be an reliable one ! and as fast as possible ! this will affect the behaviour
of your running image.
As you can see ... the image looks like Fulan's image but will not be written into flash memory ... will be
loaded directly into RAM , as loader usually does, and ... executed ! the difference is that the image file
is mapped as regullary flash memory is and written as flash is !!! simple things are genial !
