    OpenBh Community images

    OpenBh Community images

    We have added a new OpenBh Community image to our old board blackhole-community.com

    The new OpenBh Community image is for older boxes that we don't support in our OpenBh Release images.


    So what is different in OpenBh 5.1 Community then?




    The main difference between OpenBh 5.1 Release and OpenBh 5.1 Community images, is that the community image is for older boxes that are no longer in production, that we are unable to obtain samples of.




    Therefore we can not test these images that we provide, so you the users will essentially be the beta testers and provide the support for anything that doesn't work yourselves.


    Anything that needs to be fixed or updated, you will need to provide the code for and we will commit the changes and rebuild the images when we can (we will not rebuild on-demand and any updates we make again will be as and when we can and any updates to our Support image does not mean that a Community image update will necessarily follow).



    You can find the images in the downloads section on blackhole-community.com

    Currently we have images for the following Zgemma models:



    h92h

    h92hse

    h92s

    h9s

    h9sseh9t

    h9twin

    More will be added soon.

    Over the last few years, various boxes have introduced Multiboot which is a nice way to switch between different images without loosing the main image you use everyday.


    We asked Vu+ to add this feature around 4 / 5 years ago, however they said it wasn't possible.


    As you know, we no longer work with Vu+, therefore we no longer have to follow the code on their git, so we can do what we like now without breaking any compatibility or causing conflicts in the coding.


    So we have been working hard in the background recently, and now we are happy to say we have a working "real" mulitboot option for Vu+ boxes that should work with all Enigma2 images available.


    Currently this is only for the 4K ARM boxes, however in the future we "may" find a way to make it compatible with the older and slower MIPS boxes.


    The advantage of this over OpenMultiboot is that it does not require reflashing the kernel every time you switch image, this saves wear on the flash (not really an issue for most users) but more importantly, it speeds up the bootup time and in most cases only takes 5 seconds longer to boot than it would to boot a normal image in flash (so much faster than using OpenMultiboot) and as the flash is not repartitioned, it is much much safer to use, than the other Multiboot option that is available.




    A limitation of this, is that the flash size of most Vu+ 4K boxes is only 3.5GB and as images are fairly large this means you can only flash 2 or 3 images before the flash is full (I have 4 installed in the screenshots, but there isn't really enough free space to install any plugins), so we are working to expand this so that you can install images into boot slots on a usb stick.
