Hi !

We could see this new variant of OE,with new kernel and new benefits and possibility on dreambox. Plugin and some panel have a problem for now,but in the future will be fixed.

So,question, When we can expect this on our Vu+duo,or team do not want to included in the development of OE ?
If we have great result on dm8000 with same architecture CPU like on our Vu+duo(in Vu is newest CPU compared with 8000), both CPU is "dual threaded" .
I received confirmation that dm8000 with new SMP function and other benefits work faster and better compared with old OE 1.5 !

Same think You can make with Vu+duo and we expect it from support in near future,otherwise I will be very dissapointed,because it can be mean that Vu support do not care for our customers and not included in development of box.In that case,dreambox customers will have much faster and usefull machines, with new benefits, as opposed to us.

I hope so that everything will be OK and that develoment team want to work this in near future.

Why You closed topic ?! Why You do not want to speak and write about this ? And why all other peoples/members can not give some word here,about this theme ?

@scope34

You are not in right about CPU!

Here for all I will present all from home page of manufacturer with picture.

1. "The BCM7335 operates on a dual-threaded MIPS CPU core running at 405 MHz and yielding over 1,100 DMIPS in performance." This is CPU in Vu ( HOME PAGE )

2. " The BCM7400 is a dual threaded 350-MHz MIPS32 with FPU class CPU, and a peripheral control unit providing a variety of set-top box control functions." This is CPu form dm8000 ( HOMEPAGE )

3. " The BCM7405 is 400 mhz DUAL CORE CMT MIPS32/16e class processor..." ( picture from HOMEPAGE)

From this we can see,that ONLY BCM7405 (in dm500hd) HAVE REALY DUAL CORE CPU. BCM7335(Vu) and BCM7400(dm8000) HAVE DUAL THREADED CPU.
If is SMP possible to work on BCM7400-dm8000 OE 1.6 ,we see that is it possible, same think can work on our Vu+Duo,if development team will be want to make it.

BCM7400 nad BCM7335 are like "dual core" - on 1 cpu have 2 non-fisical core, and BCM7405 is like newest core2duo which have cpu with 2 fisical independent core!

That is a plastic explain for peoples who have not knowledge from information tehnology,CPU tehnology.

All of this text You could see in this 3 picture from HOME PAGE of manufacturer, in particular TEXT BETWEEN RED LINES,whic I added for important part of text.

Best regards for all memebers, and I hope so this text can explain problematic of CPU.

@RealMagic311

I did not say that OE 1.5 is not stable and good,I just said about possibility to make new OE 1.6 for Vu+Duo. This CAN BE MADE and all what i put here confirms that!
All depends from Vu plus development team,and on that side is if they want to work that.
I think that will be very important point for Vu plus,otherwise,will be difficult to sustain competition for the DM because it will then be technologically much more powerful.


Learn to read mate,learn to read from official page. I said, CPU in dm8000 is BCM7400 on dual threaded 350mhz(official info from manufacturer) and dual threaded on 400mhz like said DM. I think that manufacturer is always correct and accurate, those sales added a little marketing in everything! No matter, 350 or 400mhz but it is BCM7400 dual threaded CPU.

So, possibility for SMP have now dm8000 on dual threaded cpu, VU+duo can be same benefit too...Question is will development vu team make it ?
Does they know to make it and does they have the courage to dream multimedia responses without introducing new models, but because this new!
I hope so that they have knowledge and courage for this inovation.


@scope34 I know to read very well,nice to see that You are find Your error about specification of CPU.

I think that this topic must be presented to development team to see that we,customers,know about this and possiblity of our Vu+duo and that they decide whether to implement SMP in OE1.6 in the near future or not.

Best regards !

Ok, I hope so that all is like You said, we are watching every step from development team and hope soon smp and oe 1.6 after they fix this few bugs which existing now.

VU+ already has kernel features of OE 1.6 . VU+ kernel runs in SMP mode already.

The other major difference between OE 1.5 and OE 1.6 is the python version. OE 1.5 has python 2.5 and OE 1.6 has python 2.6.

So, if newer images of VU+ include python 2.6 it would be almost the same as using OE 1.6

hehehehehe, "VU+ kernel runs in SMP mode already. " Is this joke for 1. apriil colleague
?

If you did not ,give precise evidence, this is so far no one has said, especially not someone from the team!

Colleague, I and We know for implementation of new kernel 2.6.18... that is ok, but about SMP ?!! Where You see that in Your report and who told You about SMP on Vu+duo ? Development team not plain to make SMP in CVS for Vu duo until resolve bugs on existing OE.

Learn to read.

In my post, the kernel version (uname -a output) shows SMP. Also, in the information of /proc/cpuinfo it clearly shows two cpus.


root@bm750:~# uname -a
Linux bm750 2.6.18-6.6 #1 SMP Thu Mar 4 18:01:49 CET 2010 7335b0-smp unknown

In OE 1.6 there is no different enigma2. Only the python version changes (maybe python 2.6 performs better in SMP but I don't really know about it)

Yes, I saw and I know that new Kernel have a possiblity for SMP,but like said @RealMagic911 E2 or CVS/drivers not provide SMP for vu+do yet !
Where You see in /proc/cpuinfo report about two cpu ?!?! I see just :

23: processor : 1

This is just info about speed :

9: cpu MHz : 402.43
10: BogoMIPS : 402.43

Nothing more.
