Projects are configured (made) and loaded via the “Gira Expert” software.Īfter the first (serial) reload, it will end the hs_trans program and (as set by the start.sh script) load the hs_main program which is the ‘Home Server software’. In a project you set the IP address and admin username/password, this information is needed to load later projects via the Network. When you buy a Homeserver or when you screwed up things, you need to connect it via a Serial connection to load a project. This is to load the initial project on the Homeserver via a Serial Connection.

Why does is starts (and ends) the hs_trans program ? A. – Then it starts the hs_main (also Gira propriatary software) which is the main program. – It starts the hs_trans (Gira propriatary software) which automatically ends after a few seconds. The start.sh script does actually two things: When starting the homeserver, the vmlinuz from the Boot partition is loaded (via loadlin / DOS) and it boots the system into a Linux kernel, then a /etc/inittab startup script calls the /hs/bin/start/start.sh script. The boot process and hs_trans and hs_main programs

A ISDN adapter (We don’t use that anymore in 2009, everybody is calling VOIP ) ).A Linux Kernel 2.4.3 ( ELinOS with Busybox, however the Gira software itself will run on any Centos or Redhat 2.6.x, even 圆4 releases!).

64MB Flash (or 256MB for the Facility Server).128MB DDR 266Mhz RAM (or 512MB for the Facility Server).A cheap Mini-ITX VIA Epia ML6000EAG Mainboard with onboard 667Mhz CPU (or similiar, buy here).The opposite is true, the Homeserver 3 exists of: Unfortunatelly it’s quite expensive (about €2400,- for their Homeserver3 and the Facilityserver is even more). Gira has a made beautifull Homeserver and FacilityServer. UPDATE: Photos are back online! Thanks to Gabi from Romania for the copyright free photos!
