Firmware Stuff

Bootable Linux USB Stick

Hi Mark,

https://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/

https://lili-usb-creator.en.lo4d.com/windows#features

I just realized, you can run the "live" Kubuntu from bootable USB stick and not necessary installing it. Live Linux will have access to ntfs existing disks.

I forgot to mention, you have also to install fastboot and sshpass apps, so you need to set the internet connection too.

From a terminal, before running the update script, run the following:

sudo apt install fastboot

sudo apt install sshpass


Here are the instruction on how to update the boot logo on the pro7:

You will need a Linux machine. If you already have one, we can try that. If not, my suggestion is to install Kubuntu 24.x
Micro USB cable
auto flash file for specific bootloader (see attached)

Here is what you need to do

Open the back lid of the camera to access the micro USB port. You can do that by removing only 2 screws from the bottom (the ones from the back, on the radiator) and then pull out the lid.
Connect the USB cable
Connect the camera to 12V power. Camera doesn't need ignition to start, only power. You can use same switch box from AI, have the same cable.
Wait until the camera finishes the boot and is running.
Run the following command on a terminal from the directory you placed the autoflash file, and wait for the script to exit:

         sudo bash LOGO_IDRIVE_idriveos_binimage_labeled_ubootpart.img.android_sparse.fastboot_autoflash progmode reboot

while the script is running (see the screenshot attached)
camera should reboot (sometimes it takes a few seconds), next
display shows "Prog mode logo", next
the update will be performed, next
reboot, next
boot should display new logo


Update Firmware

Here is how to update the firmware.

Attached you can find the fw archive (Do not change the name, you can set it from a different path but name should stay the same) and the script.

You have to use same Linux machine, connect the camera on the USB, let it boot then run the script.

Once the update process finishes you will be able to see the camera screen reinitializing (NOT reboot) the application and display new FW ver 50.0.73.

Here are the commands:

sudo apt install rsync

  

bash update_fw.sh IdriveAI.tmp.tar.gz
