OE 2.2 (OE: OpenEmbedded) is successor of OE2.0. With the launch of the DM 7080 HD this branch was created. The following Dreamboxes are supported:

• DM 500 HD
• DM 500 HD V2
• DM 800 HD SE
• DM 800 HD SE V2
• DM 7020 HD
• DM 7020 HD V2
• DM 7080 HD
• DM 8000 HD PVR

The available flash capacity is not sufficient for all listed Dreamboxes to flash the OE 2.2 image. It might be possible to boot from a network share or an external device.

OE changes compared to version OE 2.0

Extract of the opendreambox.txt:

• Added support for DM7080.
• If a recipe changes, the corresponding packages will be rebuilt automatically, in contrast to required manual PR bumps in the past.
• Each machine uses its own tmp directory again, like before 2.0. However, there is a shared sstate-cache, which allows to share already compiled data between compatible machines. This impacts performance and size of the build system, but improves reliability and consistency across builds.
• Support for machines without FPU and kernel versions below 3.x was dropped (DM800).
• Layers under meta-bsp were combined into meta-dreambox.
• Package Manager changed to APT. Default package format switched from ipk (opkg) to deb (dpkg + apt).
• dreambox-image was renamed to include the package format(dreambox-image-deb).
• Init System changed to systemd.

Gemini Plugin

In the future the corresponding Gemini Plugin will be:

• Gemini Plugin 3.3 (short GP3.3) for OE 2.2
