AI Pro 7 - Firmware update

Firmware Stuff

USB Linux

Hi Mark,

https://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/

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

Update Boot Logo

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

   You will need

    1. Linux machine. If you already have one, we can try that. If not, my suggestion is to install Kubuntu 24.x

    2. Micro USB cable

    3. auto flash file for specific bootloader (see attached)

     Here is what you need to do

    1. Open the back lid of the camera to acces 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.

    2. Connect the USB cable

    2. 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.

    3. Wait until the camera finishes the boot and is running.

    4. Run the following command on a terminal from the dir 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

    5. 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

For the firmware I will send you later the instructions, however the procedure is similar - there will be a different script to run
