Vu+ Multiboot (Kexec)
- Thread starter deltec
- Start date
here you go thanks to twol
In the last 2 months an OpenViX/OpenBH team have built multiboot for the Vu+ 4k boxes
The following sounds complicated .... but its not, just follow and all will straight forward.
So flash your OpenViX image with latest image.
On boot, don,t restore settings backup if the system finds one !! Just select screen output (e.g. 1080 or 2160), language and setup internet, then exit out of install wizard. Should go to Menu screen, if so select MultiBootSelector or long press power button -----> select Enable Vu+ Multiboot.
The box will re- initialise and reboot.
On reboot, press Blue button and select ImageManager...........download latest ViX image and hit Blue button (flash) .....you will be presented with the normal slot available display. Choose one and flash.
On reboot, setup as normal.
From then on you are in a normal multiboot setup, so can flash the 3 eMMC slots with different images.
If you have installed an internal HDD, you can add Multiboot slots on a USB stick --------> format a usb stick as ext4(either on PC or via OpenViX) and then restart.
Go to multibootSelector, and choose add usb slots (it will add 4 slots at a time on the USB stick) ---- you will then be able to flash more than 3 slots.
Any issues -----> post here!

There is noting to download/install. For the Vu+, you just have to enable it after flashing the image. [strike]It is in the standby/restart menu.[/strike]
This is the PLI wiki, so very similar to

How to enable Kexec multiboot on Vu+ receivers for Vix users
1. Flash OpenViX image again. You can use the USB method or Image Manager
2. When the receiver reboots you can choose whether to use the receiver in standard mode (without the multiboot) or with the Kexec multiboot
Use your remote to select the multiboot option and press OK
The directories/slots will then be created for you to flash images onto later.
A "recovery image" will be saved in the recovery slot/directory
A ViX image will be flashed into slot 1
The receiver will then reboot into the vix image in slot 1
You then set up the image as normal. If a settings backup is found, you will be offered the option to restore it.

How to flash an image into a different multiboot slot/directory/partition
The flashing process is exactly the same as normal. However, there is an additional step where you pick the slot/partition to flash into
Menu > Setup > Vix > Image Manager
You then download the image that you want to flash. Press yellow (downloads)
Pick the image you want in the next couple of screens and then confirm the download
Once downloaded, ensure that the image you want to flash is highlighted. Then press Blue to flash it.
The additional step compared to non-multiboot receivers is where you select the slot/directory to flash the image into.
Vix does not allow you to flash into the recovery partition unless you are in the recovery partition already.
Unlike other images, once the selected image is flashed, the receiver will reboot into it.

How to boot into a different image on hardware/kexec multiboot receivers
The Multiboot image selector is in the Standby & Restart menu
Menu > Standby/Restart > Multiboot Image Selector
Using up/down on your remote, select the image you want to reboot into. Then press Green to reboot into it.
