    Questions on OpenVix

    Apologies if this is the wrong forum to post in, but I just had a couple more questions about OpenVix in general that I've not been able to figure out by reading the documentation.

    - Does OpenVix/Engima2 ship with iptables, and if not, is it possible to install iptables?
    - Is there a means to emulate a box in software (obs without the tuner hardware) in order to play with OpenVix/Enigma2 without knackering your actual receiver?

    I have a qemu setup for my et8000.
    Just copy all of the file across and chroot to it.
    But it won't run the actual enigma2 process, so possibly not what you're looking for.

    I actually have this running in a Debian installation which itself is in VirtualBox.

    What is the point in this? What are you testing that you want to avoid loading on the STB?

    Nothing.
    I set it up so that I could install gcc and gfortran to build other things that I then install on box. (A text editor, a spell checker and a file examiner).
    Plus the "can I do it - it might be useful for me, and I might learnt something along the way". Which is how I learnt almost all of my computing skills.

    There is a thread on another forum on how to build their Enigma2 image to run on a PC.

    You may also want to use OpenMultiBoot plugin so you can test changes on an image that lives on your storage device instead of flash memory. Once done testing, boot back into the non-test image.

    That's how to build it to run on an Enigma2 box.

    To run it on a PC you'd need it to have the relevant kernel modules available.

    I suspect that
    Code:
    https://github.com/ag1455/OpenPLipc_procfs
    is what is meant.
