Thema: OpenATV 6.1 install experience on MiniMe

After running OpenATV4.2 successfully for quite some time, I decided to give 6.1 (openatv-6.1-azboxminime-20180104_usb) a try on the alternative flash partition [boot1].

Installation was very easy/user friendly and fast. To my pleasant surprise wireless/wifi (mini USB dongle realtek 8192) networking worked out of the box using the GUI configuration.
No more messing around with iwlist, iwconfig and wpa_supplicant... Great.

The only thing missing so far besides the usual softcam feed was the usb_serial kernel module needed to test the CI module.
I vaguely recall this was also the case for OATV 4.x, but I forgot to write this down.

But after following commands:

opkg install softcam-feed-universal_2.0_all.ipk (from manual download)
opkg update
opkg install enigma2-plugin-drivers-usbserial
modprobe usbserial
mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0

the CI module (actually smartcard module) was working fine with the most popular softcams.

I did a few extra mods in keymaps.xml as e.g. my power button has worn off and replaced it with the TV-button that is just opposite from it.

Need to do some more testing such as mediacenter, NAS play back, recording and time shift, but still, it's a very happy surprise to see that an old box dating from 2011 can run the latest OATV.

Taking my hat off for the OpenATV development team...

A few updates:
- the oscam softcams available in the feed are not working (enigma2-plugin-softcams-oscam-atv-emu - 1.2_11353 and enigma2-plugin-softcams-oscam-atv-ymod - 18.64)
there is an issue with the internal card reader: it detects the card, but can't get the ATR. With older and self-compiled oscam versions I am getting a little further, but I have not all figured it out. Maybe a dvbapi issue. Oscam config is fine, since it works with the same card on a VU+ receiver and it has worked on the azbox as well with other enigma images.
- no issues with all CCCam versions, so the card, the reader and usb serial and pl2303 kernel drivers are fine. This means it should be possible to get oscam working....
- the internal CI module also needs the PL2303 driver. So: enigma2-plugin-drivers-usbserial - 1.0-r2, kernel-module-usbserial-3.9.2-opensat - 3.9.2-.4, kernel-module-pl2303-3.9.2-opensat - 3.9.2-.4 all need to be installed and lsmod should show both pl2303 and usbserial drivers.
- there seems to be some defect when switching softcams using the software panel with inetd.d configured as start option. Sometimes multiple copies and/or different softcams are running together. Need to reproduce and document this better...
- there is no nfs client build into the kernel, nor available nfs.ko. NFS server (nfsd) is build in though. No problem on OATV 4.x, the nfs (client) driver is build in.

nodev nfsd
nodev cifs

nodev fusectl

No idea how to fix this.
- Use the kernel from OATV 4.x since they should be based on similar versions (opensat 3.9.2)?
- Find (or build) an nfs.ko module?
It's not clear to me why NFS client support was dropped and in what version of OATV this happened

Anyhow that's a bit of a setback... My config needs to mount a NAS. Maybe I can get Samba to work, but since both boxes are Linux it's far from ideal.
