Specific information for HD51 new bootloader V1.07-r19.

The file can be download at: http://downloads.mutant-digital.net/bootloader/hd51-bolt-v107r19.zip


The easy way to check the bootloader version is by going to Menu > Information > About

Alternative using the CLI to check the bootloader version you have... Enter the receiver with telnet, enter the following command: 

#:/cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/bolt/tag

Notice: This update is imported if you make use of the boxmode function. (Boxmode 1 is default and boxmode 12 activate PiP)

the update goes the same way as flashing a image. The HD51 folder on the USB disc must be clean before placing the content of the zip file on the USB disk. The zip file contains 2 files: hd51-bolt.bin and imageversion

There are two ways to place the boot loader on your receiver: Option 1: Press the standby button for 15 seconds until BOLT appears on the display. Option 2: Start your receiver via the power plug and hold the standby button until BOLT appears on the display.

The flash procedure will only take a few seconds and when Complete appears at the display, the receiver will restart. Warning: Do not unplug the receiver during the update process!

Remark: When usesing the HD51 as a 4k receiver do not set the AV mode (Resolution of the screen) other than 50Hz. When the signal receives 60Hz the receiver disrupts the TV output. In most cases the display is black and a restart of the receiver is needed to regain TV functionality.


Boxmode for HD51 how to...

There are currently two box mode options for the HD51.

  • Mode 1 = 2 video encoder for main screen
  • Mode 12 = 2 video encoder for main screen + 1 video encoder for 2nd screen (PiP)

To alter your receiver into a different box mode Goto folder: /media/mmc/STARTUP default: 

boot emmcflash0.kernel1 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 rw rootwait hd51_4.boxmode=1'

if you alter hd51_4.boxmode=1 into 12, your receiver is switching to boxmode 12 when you restart your receiver. so: 

boot emmcflash0.kernel1 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 rw rootwait hd51_4.boxmode=12'

Must I switch from mode? The answer is no. If you switching into box mode 12, the energy consumption will increase.
