[howto] Build -unofficial- PLi for your -unsupported- receiver

Hi,

 

Since people keep asking me how to build OpenPLi for non-supported receivers such as the Dreambox DM800 or Spark receiver, I've came up with an easy to use add-on.

The pli-extras module, is an unsupported, unofficial (and likely to break) addon for allowing you to compile homebuild images for your receiver.

 

This is the list we support so far:

 

Dreambox:

• DM7020HD
• DM7020HD V2
• DM7080
• DM800
• DM800Se
• DM800Se V2
• DM8000
• DM500HD
• DM500HD V2
• DM520
• DM820
• DM900
• DM920

Fulan (spark):

• Spark7111
• Spark7162

Raspberry Pi:

• Pi 1
• Pi 2
• Pi 3
• Pi 3 (64bit)
• Pi Zero

INI:

• Atemio6000
• Atemio6100
• Atemio6200
• Atemio Nemesis
• Beyonwiz T2
• Beyonwiz T3
• Bwidow X2
• Herobox EX4 HD
• MB Hybrid
• MB Mini Plus
• Opticumtt
• Xsolo Mini 3

 

Steps to build:

 

1. Clone openpli-oe-core somewhere:

git clone https://github.com/OpenPLi/openpli-oe-core.git

2. Enter the openpli-oe-core directory:

cd openpli-oe-core

3. Clone pli-extras:

git clone https://github.com/PLi-metas/pli-extras.git

4. Initialize and update all repositories:

pli-extras/update.sh

5. Build for your favourite machine:

cd build
source env.source
MACHINE=dm800 bitbake openpli-enigma2-image

6. Optional build the feed for your favourite machine:

MACHINE=dm800 bitbake openpli-enigma2-feed

 

Note: Each time you run the command from step 4, all git repositories will get updated to their latest versions (getting bugfixes etc..)
