Konu: SoftUSB 1.1

A new plugin has been released for the Kathrein UFS 910; SoftUSB 1.1. With SoftUSB it's possible to mount a filesystem from external usb storage.



SoftUSB has the following advantages
• You can plug your usb-storage in any socket on the UFS 910
• You can plug any number of other storages at the same time
• You can edit the whole file system
• The use of pivot_root instead of chroot
• SoftUSB starts before any other script is executed, so you have full control of the system
• If expected usb-storage is not found it will continue booting from flash memory. As for now it won't work with internal hard-disk as root file system.

Mini HOW-TO
• Flash Kathrein with t4ndeta-root.img
• Partition your usb-storage with fdisk or similar tool.
• You will need at least ext2/ext3 partition and additionaly swap partition.
• Label (tune2fs) partitions, so you will easily identify them in pvrmain.
• At this point you will need another usb-device or another partition to store image files.
• Change current directory (cd) to directory with image files
• Run script /home/softusb/mkusbconf.sh to configure SoftUSB
• Run script /home/softusb/install.sh to format partirions and install image to partition
