Gday,


I am trying to learn about firmware.... Specifically how they are written... I am rather blind at the moment and would like to know if anyone has any info to add... Am I correct that the only true 3rd party firmware was the DVB2000 firmware for the Nokia 9500?.. I know there are many patched firmwares for most receivers, how is this done??.. I have some programming exp. with VB.NET etc but guess firmware would be closer to machine code or something written for a specific processor of the STB... I would ideally like to learn what the programming is, how to do it etc etc... I think it would be great to be able to write a DVB2000 style firmware for other boxes...

ANY HELP would be GREAT...

James...
