Digital Devices scripts. 

List of scripts: 

• Grab information about DD cards 

• Build and Install dddvb drivers  

• Update Firmware  

Preparations

For a fast executing of script(s), you will need to install the 'cURL' utility. 

Or you may download scripts with the "wget" (or any other method), make them executable and run by path ./path/to/script.sh

In order to make a script executable on Linux, use the “chmod” command and assign “execute” permissions to the file.

You can either use the binary or the symbolic notation in order to make it executable.

Run Bash Script from script path

In order to run a Bash script on Linux, simply specify the full path to the script and provide arguments that may needed in order to run your Bash script.
