== Foxconn nT330I ==

Note: <MD#> has to be replaced by the mediadirector number.

Note: below is based on having only one connection to TV being HDMI

'''Prepare the core;'''

The LAN controller Attansic requires module atl1c. Without it I have kernel panic during an attempt to PXE boot. Way to get the nT330i to work is also described in wiki page http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Unrecognized_NIC, section Modify the media director initial ramdisk.

 cd /
 mkdir AR81Family
 cd AR81Family
 wget http://lnx.sensibile.it/files/foxconn/AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.4.tar.gz
 tar -xvf AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.4.tar.gz
 
'''Build the atl1c kernel module'''

Modify .src/makefile changing "DRIVER_NAME = atl1e" to "DRIVER_NAME = atl1c";

 cd src
 vim Makefile

Save the file and start building;

 cd ..
 make
 make install

You'll get some error messages but I noticed still atl1c.ko is build. atl1kc is located in ./src

 cp atl1c.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/

In the bottom of /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/modules add "atl1c" without quotations and save
Now rebuild the initial diskless image

 /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_BuildDefaultImage.sh

'''MD Time'''

After this you can connect your MD and take it for its first boot.....

When the initial MD has been created the first boot "real" boot will fail (blue ubuntu bar stops moving) due to the fact the MD image has no atl1c module so we have to add that;

 cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/atl1c.ko /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/ 

In the bottom of /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/modules add "atl1c" without quotations and save
In the bottom of /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/initramfs-tools/modules add "atl1c" without quotations and save

Now rebuild the image;

 cd /usr/pluto/diskless/
 chroot <MD#>
 depmod
 cd /boot
 mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-`uname -r` `uname -r`
 exit


'''Finishing off'''

The system will do a couple of reboots and will at the end put you into AVWizard which does not appear; 

Tip 1) if you press "3" in AVWizard (HDMI2) voila!!

Tip 2) HDMI sound? In alsamixer unmuted input IEC958 by pressing "m" if selected.
