F1 box and usb flashing

I can download the url in post #8, so maybe your cut and paste isn't quite right, or your box hasn't internet access.

Does telnet ping 8.8.8.8 work on the box?

I've just coded your post to see what it looks like without url's in blue.

The link in #19 creates a download dialogue (in ms windows)....

Code:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hc2cdr116lvx3dj/install_vix.sh?dl=1

The link in your last post displays the contents of the file (in ms windows), not what you want.

The url is getting truncated to...

Code:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hc2cdr116lvx3dj/install_vix.sh

a little bit over my head with that one ccs

can I put the image file directly onto the box in a folder using ftp and then install from the box itself?

**ccs** · 06-09-20, 13:56

Yes, but someone else needs to advise.

I thought so. I did read it somewhere but as per usual can't find the webpage now. I thought it went into something like media/hdd folder or something

If I was guessing I'd say store the Grog script in /tmp/filename.sh, and then bash /tmp/filename.sh

This is the script

Code:

rm -rf /media/hdd/viximage && mkdir -p /media/hdd/viximage && cd /media/hdd/viximage/
options=$(wget -O -  https://www.openvix.co.uk/index.php/downloads/ |grep index.php\/downloads|grep img|grep -Eoi '<a [^>]+>'|sed -n "/href/ s/.*href=['\"]\([^'\"]*\)['\"].*/\1/gp" | sed -E 's#https://www.openvix.co.uk/index.php/(.*/)?.*$#\1#'|sed -E "s#downloads/(.*?)#\1#"|sed -E "s#(.*?)-images#\1#"|sed -E 's#/$##' )
PS3="Please select the brand of your box"
select opt in $options; do 

    case "$REPLY" in

    [1-9] ) echo "You picked $opt which is option $REPLY";break;;
    [1-3][0-9] ) echo "You picked $opt which is option $REPLY";break;;

    *) echo "Invalid option. rerun the script to Try another one.";break;;

    esac

done

    *) echo "Invalid option. rerun the script to Try another one.";break;;

    esac

done
imageurl1="$imageurl/$opt1"
read -p "If using multiboot box please enter partition to flash: " MULTIBOOT
wget -O latestvix.zip $(wget -O - $imageurl1|grep http|sed 's/http/\nhttp/g'|grep openvix\-builds| sed 's/\(^http[^ <]*\)\(.*\)/\1/g'|sed -n 1p|sed "s#\"##g") && unzip latestvix.zip && cd $(find /media/hdd/viximage/  -type d  -maxdepth 4 2> /dev/null|sed '$!d') && ofgwrite  -r -k $( [[ ! -z "$MULTIBOOT" ]] && printf %s '-m'$MULTIBOOT' ')./

Can I copy this and try it? Which bit pal ?

This link should allow you to download it in windows...

Code:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hc2cdr116lvx3dj/install_vix.sh?dl=1

Then ftp it to your box and then bash filename.sh. It does everything including flashing the image.

Another way is to download the image yourself ...

root@formuler1:~# ofgwrite -r -k /tmp/formuler1 ———>
-sh: syntax error: unexpected newline
root@formuler1:~#

what do I do with the .sh download please?

**ccs** · 06-09-20, 15:52

It should be ofgwrite -r -k /tmp/formuler1 not ofgwrite -r -k /tmp/formuler1 ———>
