TViX HD N1, TvixFW-04, & Ubuntu 9.10

[wigout]

I'd like to look inside the firmware file for the TViX HD N1.

I realize this forum deals with the Sigma chip TViX players and that the TViX HD N1 is a Realtek device.

The firmware for the TViX HD N1 is located at: ftp://ftp.dvico.com/Products/TViX/Firmw ... _1.9.8.zip (inside is the actual file: tvix_N1_1.9.8.fwp )

However the firmware for the TViX HD N1 is in a fwp file format and googling that brought me here to attempt to use the tvixfw-04 program to decode and uncompress the firmware.

I downloaded the TvixFW-04 file from viewtopic.php?f=8&t=115
I had to sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev because although zlib1g was installed, the program wouldn't make without zlib1g-dev.

Running the command: ./bin/tvixfw --dump /home/user/Desktop/tvix_N1_1.9.8.fwp

Code: Select all

Have I installed something incorrectly? Is the TViX fwp file some different kind of fwp-beast?

Thanks,

N6600 it works, n1100 cannot work.

You have installed it correctly. The problem is that the fwp has a different layout or content, so you need to make some investigations on how you need to change the source code of tvixfw.
