Recovery support

Since an invalid setting of an persistent object could severely degrade a product or even make it hard to launch the portal, the recovery adapter always has the highest priority which can rescue an invalid persistent object. As an example, a portal may set a persistent value for CFG_PORTAL_WHITELISTURLS incorrectly, which prevents the portal from loading. Without a running portal, it is difficult for the operator to recover the STB.

Building recovery boot images

To build a recovery boot image, add kreatv-option-is-recovery to the boot image configuration file. See here for more information on building boot images. The kreatv-option-is-recovery IIP takes a comma-separated list of parameters which are the configuration object, and a value. This sets the chosen object to a specific value at the highest priority, overriding anything already set on the STB.
