Hi maier2505
Ok, installed the kernel 3.19.0-42-lowlatency yesterday but no success , unfortunately.
When the kernel installed the file in /boot/grub/grub.cfg that you provided was the same as , so did not change.
Many thanks for helping here.
I think v2.90 is stable for me and happy that the board works well.
There is another small issue about RAM modules .I will start another post.
Thanks.
Hi maier2505,
Bios update was successful , many thanks to yourself , Diablo and test.it.
Hi maier2505,
I tried to install the v2.90 kernel for v2.95.1 which has Linux-image 3.16.0-56 but for some reason unable to install the headers.
Also, used Grub Customizer which makes selecting kernel versions easy but unfortunately when promoting a kernel to be the first kernel then saving, this kernel after a restart was not used.
I was going to ask you if you could open a terminal and type (uname -r) , without the brackets. this command gives you your kernel version. If i knew your kernel version may be could get the frontpanel lcd to work and picture.
Can you remember if you had to use another vdr.exe and give permissions too ?
Ok, many thanks again.
Hi maier2505,
Dvd is now installed and working . It is a sata dvd so better than the ide one it replaces.
Also changed the firmware from v18 to v23 , which is ok but now the way to install bm2lts has changed because the instructions are different; so now i will download the v18e firmware and install that onto the usb and into bios. Hopefully will get back the old style of installing bm2lts to try out and modify the kernel of v2.95.
I am pleased with v2.90 but just would like to see if the front panel lcd can work.
Ok, many thanks again.
Hello,
Things i have tried :
- the bf.exe7.73 copy/paste into the 8gb fat32 pen drive
. But what about the other 3 files. They go by 18 21 and 23 . So i download this 23 and where does it go ??????
I am using a linux based distro called bm2lts and booting into a virtualbox guest windows 7.
I go into the pen drive where i copy/paste this bf.exe and i can see a flash of black screen . That is it , seriously clueless my friends - completely clueless.
test.it and Diablo,
Many thanks to you both for helping here.
Still absolutely clueless as to how to go about this.
Here is the page from kontron , may be you might understand this more :
https://www.kontron.com/produc…/flex-atx/ktq87-flex.html
In the datasheet for bios are 4 files or .exe , which one do i use and how do i use it ?
Completely lost on this , please a step by step way of doing this update .
Many thanks for your patience.
Hi Diablo,
Here is the data sheet :
BF (Burn Flash). EXE latest version
bf.exe used to upgrade/modify BIOS on MB's and SBC's. Latest version v7.73 dated 2014-08-13. It's recommended to always use the latest version.
[ bfv7.73.zip, 0.76 mb, Sep 26, 2014 ]
KTQ87 BIOS version 18e
[ ktq8718e.zip, 5.56 mb, Sep 25, 2014 ]
KTQ87 BIOS version 19
[ ktq8719.zip, 5.58 mb, Jan 13, 2015 ]
KTQ87 BIOS version 23
[ ktq8723.zip, 5.58 mb, Feb 24, 2015 ]I have downloaded the bf.exeMB's and SBC's. used to upgrade/modify BIOS on Latest version v7.73 dated 2014-08-13.
How do you use this ?
Have also downloaded the actual update (ktq8723.zip) but not sure how to install
Many thanks.
Hi maier2505,
I have 4 ram modules of 4 gb each. If i place 12 gb avg2 works , if i now install all 16 gb the avg2 starts and stops in a loop.
I think the bios needs to be updated but not too sure how to do this.
If you have updated the board can you show the way you did the update ?
Many thanks for your time.
Hi maier2505,
The avg2 is working ok now. The com was not soldered correctly.
From start to a tv picture takes exactly 60 seconds. The desktop is very fast as i have an ssd os drive.
Using bm2lts v2.90 stable because although the vdr frontpanel is working ok , there is no picture output on the tv using v2.95. No problems with v2.90 
Yesterday , was trying to install the dvd , although i had to use a pata to sata converter . The dvd did not register in the bios. I think the problem here is that i used a sata3 cable. Today i will use a sata2 cable , maybe will be success 
.
Ok, many thanks for help .
Hi maier2505,
It seems like i spoke too soon.
I wanted to tidy up the avg2 as it was a mess with cables and i had 2 hard drives which needed installing.
when i came to start the avg2 again after 15 seconds there was a loud beep lasting 3 seconds and then the avg2 stopped. I then disconnected from the mains.
On closer inspection i found that removing the frontpanel and mini COM boards the avg2 started ok but of course no lcd display...!
I now have changed the ribbon cable between the frontpanel board and COM board . I thought this would fix the problem and i thought it did but after 2 minutes the lcd display was still flashing (standby and reel multimedia ).
Kodi works perfect , i can watch tv/sat very well.
Problem is with th COM and frontpanel boards.
Maybe on relocating the flat cable connecting the lcd display to the mini power board , the cable is broken inside ?
I am stuck confused as everything seems ok but obviously is n`t.
Need help again and sorry.
Hi maier2505,
Many thanks for your help on getting kontron ktq87 board to work.
It is now working perfect and very fast start times.
Best Regards.
Hi maier2505,
Many thanks for trying to help here.
Some bad news in that ftontpanel again is not working.
I am sure the COM2 connection is correct , but no frontpanel.
Zitatproblem with the Network Interface (are you using the right Interface ?
fitting to the file "interfaces"?), so that the Netceiver is not found
- What would be the right interface ?
My etc/network/interfaces :
ZitatAlles anzeigen# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# up ethtool -s eth1 wol g
auto lo eth1 eth1.2
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth1 inet dhcp
iface eth1.2 inet manual
iface eth2 inet manual
In the software setting i am using :
- avg2 with internal netceiever.
Many Thanks.
Hi maier2505,
Ok, the frontpanel is working but not COM1 on COM2 .
However, the ffrontpanel is very slow and until the message BM2lts appears there is a 2 minute wait.
When you power on the avg2 the box starts and stops in a loop using the remote control .
My in/dev_frontpanel file :
if grep -q 80860c00 /proc/bus/pci/devices ; then
# RB AVG II
ln -sfv /dev/ttyS1 /dev/frontpanel
logger -s -t $myname linking /dev/frontpanel to /dev/ttyS1
elif grep -q 80860152 /proc/bus/pci/devices ; then
# RB AVG I
ln -sfv /dev/ttyS2 /dev/frontpanel
logger -s -t $myname linking /dev/frontpanel to /dev/ttyS2
elif grep -q 80860150 /proc/bus/pci/devices ; then
# RB ICE
Thanks.
Hi maier2505,
Can you say my COM 1 connector is correct, like you have it on your ktq87 ?
I know the frontpanel is correct.
The sbin/dev_frontpanel.sh is exactly the same as yours.
My only doubt is the COM1.
I have looked at the ktq77 thread and can not find anything on setting up a static ip.
Thanks.
Hi,
The avg2 now has the kontron ktq87 board using intel i7-4770 cpu.
- front LCD panel LCD is not working
- cpu fan noise is like a plane engine (2500 rpm).
What i have done so far :
-----------------------
/ sbin / dev_frontpanel.sh
Change:
if grep -q 10027910 / proc / bus / pci / devices; then
# RB AVG II
In -sfv / dev / ttyS1 / dev / front panel
logger -s -t $ myname linking / dev / front panel to / dev / ttyS1
for:
if grep -q 80860150 / proc / bus / pci / devices; then
# RB AVG II
In -sfv / dev / ttyS1 / dev / front panel
logger -s -t $ myname linking / dev / front panel to / dev / ttyS1
Also, if you can look at my COM 1 port to see if this is installed correct ? and frontpanel ?
Many thanks.
Hi,
I have the Kontron ktq87 flex board now and request some help.
Please correct me if i have made a mistake.
- Can you use the avg2 frontpanel connector on this board ?
- Can you use the small power board next to the psu ?
In general can you just refit the components of the avg2 board onto the ktq87 board ?
- Which COM connector do you use ?
- Is there a file you have to change also ?
Ok, many thanks for any help .
Hi cinfo,
My setup :
- AVG 2 - internal netceiver - no ehd
I am stuck with satip at the moment.
No access to web interface just no connection message.
Is satip only for use with nuc and not AVG 2 ?
The problem for me is what to put in etc/default/minisatip :
# Bsp. NUC
OPTIONS="-n eth0,1:1 -w 127.0.0.1:8080 -o 127.0.0.1:9001 -b 15640"
# remove comment to start minisatip
START=yes
Is this correct ?
Also , when you enter http://127.0.0.1:9981 into browser i get no connection error.
If you use satip do you need to set 127.0.0.1 in route 66 ?
Many thanks for your help and patience.
Hi ,
My original posts 345 and 346 are still not resolved.
I have no satip .
Please show me a link i can donate.
Many Thanks.
Hi,
Still can not get satip to work in Reelbox.
Uploaded attached error images below , maybe this can help.
Please excuse my ignorance with this.
Many thanks.
Hi cinfo,
