Is hardware virtualization (VT-x/AMD-v) required for this to work? Because I don’t have a working computer with vt-x support.

Abhishek · 2017-01-04T12:32:45.739Z

For the VM flasher to work, yes VT-x is required.

I could make the script-based flasher available to you, that requires Linux and the sunxi-tools etc. But that comes with no support whatsoever.

Abhishek · 2017-01-04T12:35:46.517Z

theres an even better (IMHO) option coming

demandzm · 2017-01-04T12:44:05.218Z

ok I guess I will have to find a computer with vt-x support. I might be able to use a computer at the local computer repair shop.

demandzm · 2017-01-04T12:58:05.982Z

Never mind I just realized that my compute stick has an intel z3537f processor in it, that has vt-x support. This is going to be interesting.

awesome! do let me know how things work out.

Abhishek · 2017-01-04T17:17:32.376Z

any thoughts ?

Abhishek · 2017-01-04T19:55:02.945Z

your computer either doesn’t have hardware virtualization, or it is disabled in BIOS.

villalta · 2017-01-04T19:58:17.425Z

thanks i’ll get on it right now

@CRCasey

one way to view the tuner status without being in the UI (if you should so desire) is to use python. this little 5 line program will do it. you can expand on it from there and just parse the elements you want displayed.

import urllib2
import json
url= “http://10.0.0.1/DIRECT/getTunerStatus” #insert your IP instead
data = json.load(urllib2.urlopen(url))
print data

Okay that was lazy of me. Here is a way to parse the elements of the .json that you want displayed.

import requests
ts = requests.get(‘http://10.0.0.1/DIRECT/getTunerStatus’).json()
print ts['result][‘rssi’]
print ts [‘result’][‘snr’]

save this as a .py file.
if using linux you can run this every N seconds in a terminal with the following. Assuming you named your file TunerStatus.py

in terminal type:
watch -n 1 python TunerStatus.py and hit enter.
This will display the values every second

You can get the DVD image if you decompress the .ova file!

William_L · 2017-02-10T19:08:28.219Z

Mine seems to be doing this as well. Is thee anything I can try?

Syed · 2017-02-11T03:38:04.948Z

If you are seeing an ERROR -7, then I have no solution. Did we sell that CHIP to you?

William_L · 2017-02-11T05:25:08.528Z

Yes you did. I managed to get it working. I don’t think it is the CHIP. I was able to flash a Next Thing image on it using Chrome. I realize that method is totally different but it is was a flaky chip I bet is would have failed

Syed · 2017-02-12T03:52:32.583Z

After using the Chrome flasher, are you now able to use the Skylark flasher?
