K-R42 Hybrid Firmware (HFW) 1.1.0 by lewy20041

[wasser]

Hello lewy20041,

Can You help me I want to have the system mount 3 shares on start up and have them stay active ...

These are just cifs nas shares ...

my devices are: \\mikes-pc\music (windows xp box)
\\nas\media
\\nas\backups

They all need to be read/write

Can You help me please ...

What do I need to do and can I use the custom.ko files to do it ??

thanks in advance

Michael T.

custom*.ko files are kernel modules, you don't need in your case. It seems cifs is compiled in kernel.

try following steps:

1) make connection with ssh to your k-r42 (need to install droidssh app)
ssh <k-r42-ip> (password is admin by default)
2) mkdir -p /mnt/sdcard/music /mnt/sdcard/nas/media /mnt/sdcard/nas/backups
3) mount -t cifs -o username=<your name>,password=<your password> \\mikes-pc\music /mnt/sdcard/music
4) mount -t cifs -o username=<your name>,password=<your password> \\nas\media /mnt/sdcard/nas/media
5) mount -t cifs -o username=<your name>,password=<your password> \\nas\backups /mnt/sdcard/nas/backups

i hope it will work for you.

firstly, i want to thank you for your tuning efforts at the k-r42 device.
the device has a heatsink with PCB V2.1 (greater pcb ver. have also i assume)

Thanks, I was afraid that the box come without dissipation, and then oc could be dangerous. When I got pc access we will make this device fly.

So if someone miss some kernel funtionality, only tell me and I will try to enable it like a module or inside the kernel if it can't be compiled like a module.

usb BT-Dongle support would be nice.
i have a LogiLink dongle(Conwise CW6626 chip)
for example the outputs from my ubuntu laptop:

lsusb:

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

In Bt there is involved more factors than modules, lewy is working on it, but there is a lot of stuff involved to make Bt work. And remember that we only have the kernel source. Not the full sdk.

maybe geekbuying can sell us for small money this little pcb from the T-R42
some tv-sticks use this extra pcb also, so buying a bricked stick from **** is also an option.
soldering 6 contacts should be no problem.

custom*.ko files are kernel modules, you don't need in your case. It seems cifs is compiled in kernel.

try following steps:

1) make connection with ssh to your k-r42 (need to install droidssh app)
ssh <k-r42-ip> (password is admin by default)
2) mkdir -p /mnt/sdcard/music /mnt/sdcard/nas/media /mnt/sdcard/nas/backups
3) mount -t cifs -o username=<your name>,password=<your password> \\mikes-pc\music /mnt/sdcard/music
4) mount -t cifs -o username=<your name>,password=<your password> \\nas\media /mnt/sdcard/nas/media
5) mount -t cifs -o username=<your name>,password=<your password> \\nas\backups /mnt/sdcard/nas/backups

i hope it will work for you.

there is esiest way.
but you need to use 1 module
its not in the package
its only need if you have autorization on your nas etc
and its caled md4.ko
i will ask leo to compile it wen he find some free time.

you can mount your share at startup
by putting this line into /etc/install-recovery.sh

mkdir /mnt/Volume_1
mkdir /mnt/Volume_2
busybox sleep 80
busybox mount -t cifs //192.168.1.102/volume_1 /mnt/Volume_1 -o user=yourusername,pass=password
busybox mount -t cifs //192.168.1.102/volume_2 /mnt/Volume_2 -o user=yourusername,pass=password

remember about permision after changes it should be "rwx --- ---"

Auto Mount on Start up

Thank you to lewy20041 and wasser,

Can I use the Shares Names instead of the IP address as the IP address Change as Items get restarted ?

Please Confirm Lewy20041 that the file '/etc/install-recovery.sh' Should Have its permission's set
"rwx --- ---" after editing.

Also I need to Have Read/write permissions on the Shares from The Android TV box. The shares are Read/write now ...I was reading and it said I needed to use the -w option when mounting to insure
read/write ? this is correct ?

thanks again both of you ...

Is it better to use busybox or just straight Mount ?

Lewy20041 can You Please PM me when the update I need is ready, thanks ...

ADB NOT working all the time

Hello Lewy20041,

I have to Play with the Connect to PC on and off and USB debugging on and OFF
and restart player to get the adb working ... Does not always work ...

Sometimes it fine and other times it just will not started ...

Anything I can DO to Make sure it started in the /etc/install-recovery.sh
file ... Can I start it in there and if so what is the command ...?

thanks

Michael T.

a few issues...

Hello guys,

I am in awe and great appreciation for the work you are doing on our device... thanks!

I know you are busy with that, but there are a few big issues that have come up which I wanted to report in case they can also be addressed somehow in a new rom.

1/ cannot shut device down, shut down results in the screen going off, but it comes on immediately if you "power on".

2/ I bought a very good (and expensive Music Streamer II+) USB DAC audio device, and it causes the CS918 to freeze then shut off without powering down. I tried using a powered USB hub to give the device power from that (as per the manufacturer's suggestion) but it still crashes

3/ spotify has intermittent gaps in playback, both wifi and ethernet, despite my rock solid BT Infinity Fibre Brodadband and the fact that removing wifi/ethernet from the device, spotify runs for about 3 minutes with no web connection, which means the little gaps cannot be due to gaps in the web connection. This also does not happen on my phone or tablet or PC playing spotify.

Thanks for the inspiring work,
Mark

Auto Mount

Hello Lewy2004,

The System Will NOT let me create a folder in the /mnt directory ...

I even tested it in terminal su mode ...

I want to be able to Access the shares from a Normal App with out root access

Any Ideas

Michael T.

[lewy20041]

type in terminal:
su
mkdir /mnt/nfs

if you cant do it go to play store and download cifs manager.
there is no simpler way:"

Auto Mount

Hello lewy20041,

I can Get the Mkidr function to work fine and the script to work
with the /data folder but NOT the /mnt folder

Why ?

Hello lewy20041,

with the /data folder but NOT the /mnt folder

Why ?

Michael T.

/ (root of the device) is mounted usually on ro (read only) /data/ is rw (read write) mode. /mnt/nfs must be created by boot.img in his initramfs or in init.rc, I am not completely sure of this, maybe lewy knows better the answer.

auto mount

Hello leolas,

My app does not seem to be able to see the /data folders ??

I can see them fine from the terminal Mode ... and the shares are mounted fine ...

My app does not have root access ...

Any ideas ?

Thanks In advance
