[Tuto] [EN/FR] Install/Installer nBoot + ControlX (+Linux)

[TheReturningVoid]

Ah, makes sense. Is there a way to dump Boot1? Wouldn't mind poking around at it a bit myself.

[Lionel Debroux]

The boot1 can be dumped using e.g. PolyDumper.

[TheReturningVoid]

Oh, forgot Polydumper did that Thanks the the help!

I need some help, please. I have installed nboot+controlx, exactly like on tutorial and many times. My cx cas is hw ver L, boot1 3.0.0.99, boot2 4.0.3.49.
I tried 4.0.3 and 4.2 os versions.. When starting "inject OS patcher" text is where "Ndless installed" should be. Ndless is not installed after reboot.

It works with 4.2 os. 4.0.3 dont work.

Hi.

The payload injected in Boot2 4.0.3 doesn't support all OS versions, because of a size limit.

Here's what in the ndless_loader Makefile :

Code: Select all

# WARNING : Boot2 4.0.3 payload current max size is 0x3D4.
# DO NOT include all OS patches !
PATCHES = -DOS_31 -DOS_36 -DOS_42 -DOS_44
# list of OS patches :
# -DOS_301 -DOS_302_1791 -DOS_302_1793 -DOS_31 -DOS_320_1212 -DOS_320_1219 -DOS_323 -DOS_324 -DOS_33
# -DOS_36 -DOS_39 -DOS_391 -DOS_400
# -DOS_402 -DOS_403 -DOS_42 -DOS_430_547 -DOS_43 -DOS_440_531 -DOS_44
# OS patches description :
# 400 and lower versions : patch to boot properly in the nBoot context
# 36 and higher versions : patch to disable the Boot2 update + discrepancy / archive modified self-destruct
# 31 + 36 + 391 + 403 + 42 + 43 : Ndless auto-installer

So with the last ControlX release you can only have Ndless auto-installed on OSes 3.1, 3.6, 4.2 and 4.4.

If you need the Ndless auto-installer for OS 4.0.3, you'll need to edit the Makefile, replace one of the supported OSes by 4.0.3, and rebuild ControlX.

Since OS 3.1 won't work on your hardware revision L anyway, you can drop its support to add OS 4.0.3 :

Code: Select all

PATCHES = -DOS_36 -DOS_403 -DOS_42 -DOS_44

Hi

Ok, I dont need necessarily 4.0.3. Can I use 3.6 with nboot+controlx? Tutorial says that os need to be >4.

[critor]

OSes older than 4.0.1 should be able to work perfectly with the next ControlX version.

[jdless]

Ok, thanks

How to execute another program from source code?

[jdless]

I ended up situation that ndless cant uninstall. it looks like it uninstall with recources-file but after reboot its back This is maybe some nboot+controlx thing? Maybe hard reset is way to go?

[critor]

Indeed, ControlX purpose is to auto-install Ndless at each boot.

Just move, rename or remove the ndless-resources file if you don't want Ndless.
