Flashing an Amino Set Top Box 

Amino company and resellers are really quiet about all the possibilities of the product. 

I made a post some time ago about configuring the Amino to boot with DHCP and get the 

config through this or through DHCP. 

This post was really popular and people began to ask me for firmware and informations 

on how to upgrade. Of course, I can’t provide anything like firmware. My reseller here is 

France is OK to sell it for 10€ for 4 Amino stb… Or you can find it somewhere on Internet. 

Please, don’t ask for it, I don’t have the latest nor the Opera firmware. 

My last reseller sent me the 110 firmware while I had some dead STB. This is what I will 

use for this tutoriel. 

So, the firmware comes as a tar file. Mine is A110‐0.15.1‐fresco‐ami_wm‐euro‐subs.tar . 

First, you need to create some directories. Please, note I’m actualy doing this on a PC 

running Ubuntu 7.10. The ~ stands for your home directory. It can be anything else you 

want, just change the paths accordinately. Of course, you don’t need to install things 

in /usr/local AT ALL, which is a really bad way to do things anyway. 

cd ~ 

mkdir amino 

cd amino 

mkdir keys releases releases/A110 images 

cd releases/A110 

Now you can untar your image. Mine is just a .tar but yours could be a .tgz or .tar.gz. Then 

use option zxvf instead of xvf : 

tar xvf ../../../A110-0.15.1-fresco-ami_wm-euro-subs.tar 

This will create a directory 0.15.1‐A110‐fresco‐ami_wm‐subs‐1. Go into it :

cd 0.15.1-A110-fresco-ami_wm-subs-1 

You can now create and sign the two files you need for an upgrade : a bootstrap and an 

image. 

The bootstrap 

cd bootstrap 

export CUSTOMER_KEY=`pwd`/../utils/keys/amino/KEY.private 

export PATH=$PATH:`pwd`/../utils 

./signbootstrap 

The password is « markskey« . You will get a OK message and a new file : bootstrap.signed

-fresco-ami_wm-subs-1/utils/keys/amino/KEY.private: Signed image 

written to ‘bootstrap.signed’ 

Multicast bootstrap image signed successfully: bootstrap.signed 

Copy this new file to the image directory : 

cp bootstrap.signed ~/amino/images 

cd .. 

The BONUS 

Before we create the signed image of the real OS, I will show you how you can customize 

the boot procedure. 

In the upgradeimage/imagecomponents directory lies all the files that will be packaged in 

the OS. Of course you can add few files. Don’t oversize the image or it won’t be able to be 

used. 

Inside this directory you will find a splash.gif image file. 

You can replace it by any GIF image. 

Don’t use an image bigger than the TV 

resolution, around 720×480. Replace the 

image but keep the same name ! Also, I 

think you have a limited number of possible colors, and the first color (?) will also be used 

for the backgroud around the image (can you confirm that ?) 

So, have fun, change files, pre‐program you amino by changing the config files… play 

around 

The OS Image 

If you have closed your terminal, re‐set the CUSTOMER_KEY and PATH variables as above. 

Now create and sign the image. As suggested, if you are making an Opera firmware 

upgrade, une ‐z for compressing the image

The DHCP Server 

Yes, you will need one… But you already have my previous post on this : 


See my config below as I finaly found out that my first config was « wrong« 

The Multicast Server 

This server can be anything… the one provided with the image or anyone, like VLC (yes, 

the video player…). 

Go in the server directory and edit the 

cd ~/amino/releases/A110/0.15.1-A110-fresco-ami_wm-subs-1/server 

vi mcastbootd.conf 

Match the and with the ones from the DHCPD config file : 

Here is my file : 

[Server] 

LogLevel=4 

MulticastTTL=1 

[Image bootstrap.signed] 

MulticastIPAddress=239.255.230.52 

MulticastUDPPort=11111 

FileName=bootstrap.signed 

Description=Linux bootstrap image 

ImageType=1 

SerialNumber=1 

PacketSize=1456

MulticastIPAddress=239.255.230.53 

MulticastUDPPort=11111 

ImageName=mc2 

Description=upgrade filesystem 

SerialNumber=2 

DirsPerCycle=128 

DataRate=256 

CycleTime=0 

Start the upgrade 

Now you are ready to start. Go in the image directory and start the multicast software : 

cd ~/amino/images 

~/amino/releases/A110/0.15.1-A110-fresco-ami_wm-subs-

…. 

You can now plug in your set top box and see the magic… 

Or not… 

I just found out that the DHCP config file may not be right, depending on your Amni 

revision. While the original Vendor‐Name is « aminoAMINET110mboot », this can change. 

The solution I found was to trace the IP (bootP) packets on the lan and see what is going 

on. I use tcpdump for that. 

This is also the point where I will describe my setup : 

My host have 2 network card. Eth0 is connected to the local LAN and is using a dhcp client 

to get an IP. I’m connecting to it using SSH from my Mac, where I write this blog post at 

the same time. 

The other network card, eth1, is connected to a switch where I plus the set top box. As the 

multicast packets of the mcastbootd only goes out by the first interface, eth0, I had to use 

a special command to configure eth1, so the multicast goes on it. Here is the whole config 

command. 

Of course, if you are local on the host and have only one ethernet card, you won’t have to 

do this : 

ifconfig eth1 10.20.0.2 netmask 255.255.252.0 up 

route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev eth1 

The IP 10.20.0.2 is just part of the DHCP range I set up but outside the pool. 

Then, to get the « vendor name » used by the set top box to ask for bootp/dhcp, I used 

tcpdump on eth1, then plugged in the amino and power it. Here is the result : 

tcpdump -s 1024 -x -i eth1 -vv host not 239.255.230.52 and host not 

239.255.230.53 

tcpdump: listening on eth1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 

1024 bytes 

15:44:20.598588 IP (tos 0×0, ttl 64, id 1, offset 0, flags [none],

What is all this mess ? 

In fact, you don’t care ! 

The only important part is Vendor‐Class Option 60, length 26: 

« insecureAMINET11xmboot1.32″. This is what you have to set in your dhcpd.conf so it 

will find the amino, give it the IP and params so it can find the broadcast server. 

So, here is my dhcpd.conf file, right from the Ubuntu dhcpd.conf + amino specials :

About the .gif loading picture, I havn’t made a lot of test about it.. but, as I 

know : 

‐ it should not more large than 640*480 (can prevent from booting so… take 

care) 

‐ don’t be animated. If so, only 1st image is displayed. 

‐ seems to be displayed B&W only

thanks for your post « Prune » 

I hv followed all steps but when I hv started the « mcastbootd ‐D » its show 

« 239.255.230.53:11111″ network is unreachable. 

Can you please help me 

Thanks in advance

Are you starting the mcastbootd as root user ? if not, try it. 

On my system it is running as normal user, without any message. 

Can you please give you config file + the result of « ifconfig ‐a » and 

« netstat ‐rn » and I will have a look.

Thanks 

After reinstall RHEL 4.0 the problem resolved. Can you please tell me the 

steps for configure AmiNet 125 for VLC Media player. I am streaming the 

video through VLC player as RTSP on port 1234 but not able to get the 

output through AmiNet 125. 

Again thanks for your posts. 


13 mars 2009 ‐ 16:33 

I don’t have any AmiNet 125 so, no, I can’t help you 

Maybe streaming as RTSP is not the good solution. Try Mpeg2‐TS instead.

Thanks for the great information! 

I really appreciate your time on writing these notes. 

I have Amino 110 with opera which does not support my langue. After 

reading your blog I google for an image which support my langue but it was 

not the opera but fresco. 

I followed your instruction and everything went fine at the server side. 

Then I went inside the Amino and choose upgrade. It shows a message 

“upgrading do not disconnect” and then it reboots. Then the screen shows 

“Loading” and nothing more! 

The DHCP show that the Amino acquire the IP usefully. 

I highly appreciate your support and willing to donate some fund to support 

your online activity. 


17 mars 2009 ‐ 11:17 

When you are in a « Loading… » state, it means your amino is waiting for an 

upgrade. Depending on your firmware, it will try to get it by multicast (then 

follow my blog post) or by tftp (then I don’t know how it work… it should be 

the same : set some parameters in the dhcp conf and put the firmware in a 

tftp server). 

I really can’t help more than what’s on my blog. 

Be carefull that the DHCP recognize the amino and give it the right 

parameters. 

Then, when everything is working, it can take up to 4 or 5 minutes for the 

amino to get the firmware by multicast, so just be patient. Once done, the 

amino will reboot by itself.

@prune’s response n 7 

indeed , the most important thing is to get the DHCP recognize the amino , i 

made everything perfect but the amino didn’t get the image , untill i saw 

prune’s DHCP failover , it went like a charm .

did you had a problem with your electricity ? 

I saw this kind of stuff when the power block is defective. In fact, it’s still 

working but not giving enough power to the amino. Please, try with a new 

one to confirm it’s working or not. 

Else, did you tried flashing you Amino ? maybe you did something wrong. 

Last, are you sure your DHCP server is working ? How is your amino 

configured ? static or at boot time ? Is the boot server or multicast server 

working (depending on how you’re doing this) ? 

Can’t help much, sorry….

2 mars 2010 ‐ 11:18 

I have no idea. 

What do you see on the DHCP side ? Does the Amino takes an IP ? 

Is the IP:port 225.0.10.34:11111 the one you defined ? 

Are you broadcasting on it ?



Page 12 of 19 

21-10-2010 

Do you have the right key for the firmware ? 

How long does it take before failing (does it really download the image ? ) 


2 mars 2010 ‐ 14:58 

Yes, the amino takes 192.168.1.51 and yes, IP:port 225.0.10.34:11111 is the 

one I defined. 

Yes, I am broadcasting correctly. The image is downloaded properly. 

I bought this second hand amino. It is obvious that the bootstrap and the 

upgrade image are NOT present. I used tcpdump and verified the 

insecureAMINET11xmboot1.32 vendor. 

Now that I am thinking, probably there is firmware key stored somewhere in 

the STB (is it in the NAND flash ? ) which I have NOT. Is there some way to 

completely erase the NAND flash (ie restore it to the factory settings) so 

that my image will be accepted? 

Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated. 


4 mars 2010 ‐ 00:17 

hey man this is my deatil someone explain me my problems is it realy 

serious 

i have DHCP server with midleware istream 

i connected 300 device with this midleware server so before some dayes i 

found many device is not work and not take image from midleware and just 

flashing light even not show display bt when i check other working amino 

that a work so where the problems and aht happen …? ,y device please take 

a time for me and tell me how i solved these amino problems i am watching 

this problem withing 1 month till now my 80 devices is not work 

thanks all brother advance 


4 mars 2010 ‐ 09:50 

I’m sorry but I seriously can’t help you with so little information. 

Maybe all of your Amino does not have the same firmware, so they don’t 

match the rule (like insecureAMINET11xmboot1.32) in you DHCP so they 

don’t get an IP ?

21-10-2010 


4 mars 2010 ‐ 09:52 

This sounds like a key problem. Are you sure your firmware is « certified » 

by the key you are transmitting ? 

I don’t think the key have to be inside the amino, you just have to sign your 

new firmware with it. This is more than a year ago for me and I don’t work 

with all this anymore, so… 


4 mars 2010 ‐ 10:38 

Hi Prune, 

if you are right that the key is not inside the amino, then this is GOOD news. 

I am DEFINATELY sure that the firmware is certified by the key I am 

transmitting. 

What I suspect is that the firmware I use is VERY older than what my amino 

can acept. Specifically, my firmware is Version 0.9.5 If you Prune, or 

anybody else can send me a newer version, I would VERY much apreciate it. 

I can help anybody in return with the knowledge I have for amino set top 

boxes. 

My email is akyprianou at cytanet dot com dot cy 

Best regards, 

Antonis

The Amino boxes have an inbuilt security key so only software signed with 

the corresponding key can be loaded onto the box. I guess your box 

provider can tell you what key is in the boxes you have. 

Amino have now made some of their documentation available so you can 

see what the LED flashing means – take a look at the Install and Upgrade 

Guide at http://stbsupport.aminocom.com

Thanks Magpie, 

Yes, I realized that although the aminet needs to be flashed, the security key 

is still there (in the NAND or NOR flash ?) but unfortunately this is a second 

hand amino and the box provider retarted. Therefore, there is no way I can 

find the key. 

On the other hand, I managed to read the serial console but NOT write to it. 

I haven’t found out how to enable writing to it. I am working on this, if you 

have any info on this matter, please share it. 

Regards, 

Antonis

the flash 3 – 1 is an error code. this means the verification of the download 

image failed. it will delete the image if saved in the flash. it the retries 3 

times. if still unsuccessful, the stb reboots. 


3 mai 2010 ‐ 08:19 

Hi rude , 

Yes, you are absolutely right. It seems that there is no way to flash the 

amino if I don’t get the original signature. In addition, writing to the console

is disabled and there is no Jtag interface. I am giving up amino products and 

switching to some other brand.

You should write « W » front of « domaddons » under « # Opera 8 

extentions » instead of « R » in flashcontents file

Hi Frank 

I guess that if you look in imagecomponents your domaddons file will have 

executable permissions eg 

[root@server imagecomponents]# ls ‐l domaddons 

‐rwxrwxrwx 1 611 users 1539 Feb 5 10:22 domaddons 

The signupgradeimage script expects that anything that is executable is read 

only (as sepcified in the flashcontents file) as you don’t want people 

(hackers) being able to change executable files on the STB. 

If you change the permissions on the domaddons file in imagecomponents 

(using chmod) then it should sign correctly.

Hi everybody, 

I need to change the browser resolution on Amino 130. The video (stream) 

looks perfect with full resolution but the browser doesn’t… 

Can you tell where do I need to configure this ¿? Maybe before the image 

compilation. 

I need to have 1280×720 in Opera Browser cause all my WEB site was 

optimized to that resolution. 

Can anybody help me ¿? 

I have the keyboard but when I set up (pushing settings btn) nothing 

changes.
