Then, on the same forum:

Netbox 8160 is stb which use some cable operators in France and they have same structure as azbox.

(some Guy from France)
Hi,

I am new to the list, I recently bought a set-top-box (Netbox 8160) which uses a SMP8635 MIPS processor. The original fimware is a disaster and for fun I want to try to build my own linux based firmware for this set-to-box.

The board of this set-top-box is pretty simple, there is the SMP8635 processor, 256MB of DDRAM, 16 MB of NOR flash, mini pci with atheros wifi card, ethernet MII phy, and 2 DVB-T tuners (maybe USB2 or PCI, for now I don't now).

The SMP8635 processor comes from Sigma Design and I found on its FTP site a 2.6.15 kernel with associated patches for the SMP863x processors serie.

This guys share our problems. We have a lot common.
Regards,

Moreover:

Guy from France also has similar problem as we have,
