Foxconn NetBox-nT330i as MediaDirector

Hi Crisis90
Just about there everything works up to make install and then below is what I get with an error or what I suspect is an error and the modprobe atl1c definitely comes back with an error

Cheers

I understand your computer. I would not want to load module by a different name, than the one someone installed...

Beeker,

my first one is up and running and you can see what I did in http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Foxconn_nT330i. I bought the second one just before Christmas and will give it a go tomorrow.

So except for the HD part all works nicely, hope it helps u

Hi Han
Thanks heaps you have given me hope that this unit is not just yet for a trip out the window, I am stuck in the wiki at the point below and your help is much appreciated. Is this a step or just a information note.......if it's something I need to do could you give me some tips. Do I need to edit a file?

Build the atl1c kernel module

Modify .src/makefile changing "DRIVER_NAME = atl1e" to "DRIVER_NAME = atl1c";

Regards
Beeker

Beeker,

just cd into the .src directory.
use vim (or whatever editor you like) to change the makefile. Where you see "DRIVER_NAME = atl1e" change "atl1e" to "atl1c"
then start the make process.

Hi Han,
Thanks and after a little more xmas cheer and taking a lesson out of my own book of re reading the instructions more carefully I finally got it to boot and now got through the AV Wizard so just waiting for it to reboot and see what we get............thanks again for your help and hope you and your family along with all the MCE gang have had a lovely xmas and all the best for a happy 2011 and my new years resolution is to finish my MCE outstanding list off.

Do you know if the latest snapshots now include the atl1c fixes?

Lets hope we can get the HD working as then it will make a great MD as I can then mount it directly to the back of my Panasonic Plasma and then plug in the ethernet, power, HDMI cable, USB IR blaster and the Gyro USB dongle then should all be done......here's hoping

Cheers

Hi Han,
Further update the Foxconn now boots up and works sort of...........two issues
1. Video and unit freezes approx 10sec after starting playing anything
2. No Audio through SPDIF coax

Any ideas would be really appreciated...........nearly there apart from the HD issue screen shot attached of MD settings

Beeker,

your system shows as amd64, mine as i386, as far as I know change it to i386 and rebuild your md. Video is setup differently, but that is no problem as long as you can see anything. The part on SPDIF coaxial gets me worried while there is only SPDIF optical in the 330i....

here's my md:

[Beeker]

Hi Han,
Thanks......still waiting to buy a plasma with HDMI as my Panasonic only has VGA, as for the Audio I thought it had SPDIF via coax but your right I will have to get the correct optical lead and try that which I suspect is the problem with the audio. I will change it to i386 and rebuild the image and see if that fixes the freezing issue........will let you know how it goes

Thanks again


Cheers
Beeker

[Beeker]

Hi Han
I changed it i386 from the Devices MD page and did update then clicked on rebuild image on the same page though it now goes to a kernal panic when trying to boot up.......back to the same old problem. Just for piece of mind going to change back to AMD64 to see if will boot then I don't know where to go to from there

Attached is the new MD details

Cheers
Beeker

[Kezza]

I don't think there is a AMD64 build yet and it should default to i386 so maybe something else going wrong or you have not upgraded in over 6 months

Beeker,

after you rebuild you have to go through the process of adding the atl1c module to the build again (see MD Time in http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Foxconn_nT330i) 

rgds,

Han

[Beeker]

Hi Han,
I did and it worked, but I decided to do my first upgrade as I have an existing image that is at least 12 months old and has been working fine up till now, when I boot the Foxconn now it brings up the Kubuntu blue loading bar and moves twice and stops I remember seeing something about it but can't find anything

Hi Han,
Send me a slap I thought I had done it but it seems I forgot all good sorry for being stupid
