I keep circling back around to the files in the bootloader.tar/package_MP.upg.

And in googling around I found this, regarding replacing the flash with a larger flash:
http://translate.google.com/translat...ient%3Dubuntu:

"If you want to make the box bigger or more models to support flash, bootloader source code need to be changed and re-compile it.

Replacement of flash before the pilot out of the old falsh 4 soft partition image.

Replace flash, the need to rewrite all the content in flash.

First into the SoC of the recovery mode (boot holding down the space before the serial console), and then write to the flash bootloader (for example, 128M memory version of the 1073_c0000_Deimos_avhdd_128x1_pal_rsq.0000.0202.00 19.bin) and HW register Settings (because the hardware configuration changes, for example, mars.QFP.128x1.bin). These two files to look for / configuration.

Perform the following A / B steps:

A.
Reboot into the bootloader (hold down before starting the serial terminal esc), first aid through tftp into linux kernel and audio / video drivers:

1.


2. Fread tftp: / / 192.168.0.88/vmlinux.rescue.bin 0x80100000
3. Fread tftp: / / 192.168.0.88/bluecore.audio 0x81b00000
4. Fread tftp: / / 192.168.0.88/video_firmware.bin 0x81d80000

Copy code


Insert the USB port to upgrade U disk.

Then the kernel boot Emergency boot:

1.


2. Go 0x80100000 rootfstype = yaffs2 root = 31:01

Copy code"

Upgrade to wait for the end of

B.
After rebooting into the bootloader, import the old falsh via tftp 4 soft partition image (the base address of the first three images consistent with the old flash, flash on the last 4th side.)

Insert the USB port to upgrade U disk.

Hold down the tab to restart the box serial terminal.

Upgrade to wait for the end of"


Alright, poorly translated into English, I know.

Anyway, a couple of interesting points:
Here it's alleged that you can enter into the SoC recovery mode holding down the space bar from the start over the serial console. As they are talking about removing the flash altogether and replacing it with a new blank one, it seems they mean some other kind of recovery mode than the one I am familiar with.

(I'd love to try out the space bar thing but it will be at least a couple of days before I can)

Second, they reference the "hw register settings."

The first post and the second post together bring me back to minimodding:
[ http://minimodding.com/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=172|Mars bootcode recovery manual]

So the guy on patriot seems to want one of these:
mars.BGA.64x2.bin, mars.QFP.128x1.bin

(which I can't remember at this instant seeing in a gpl, but I don't have them memorized)

Meanwhile we have various manufacturers who've released the "bootloader.tar/package_MP.upg" stuff with the included hwsetting.bin- but those have all been different from one another as I can recall (suggesting more than two groups of hw register settings).

Finally, inside the conceptronic source there's a file that gives an output that ties in with Lossless' cryptic answer about hwsetting.bin (well, cryptic to me):
Conceptronic/GNU-GPL/2.00.004/bootloader/tools/flash_image_maker/serial/bin2ascii

bin2ascii is a perl script that takes a bin and gives an output that resembles Lossless' comment.

Here's the text of the script:
http://pastebin.com/GyNyDHZA

and here's the output of the script ran against the hwsetting.bin found in the ACRyan Firmware_PV73100_v7.3.4.r3582_European
perl bin2ascii hwsetting.bin
http://pastebin.com/G8NCGkqY


Everyone else is welcome to enlighten me on any aspect of this-

Thank you very much.

I know, i need mars.BGA.64x2.bin, mars.QFP.128x1.bin
but i cant find its.
I just user, i cant write program and dont understand script. Sorry.
Can you help me to find this files? My player dont work

[wigout]

Can you tell us:
What player you have, manufacturer and model.
What you have done so far
With as much detail as possible.
Thanks,
Wigout

ASUS o!player HDP R1
i want to change boot 17 =} 18
But first try original
dd if=/dev/mtdblock/0 of=/mnt/usbmounts/sda1/0.bin -read
dd if=/mnt/usbmounts/sda1/0.bin of=/dev/mdtblock/0 - write

Reboot

I know, its stupid

[wigout]

Interesting (well, and awful).

So, just to clarify:
you made a bin with dd of your /dev/mtdblock/0
AND
you used dd to write the SAME bin (can you confirm that?) to the /dev/mtdblock/0?

Or did you modify the /dev/mtdblock/0 (like change the bootcode, settings, whatever) using a hex editor?

I moved this bit to a different thread as it is a different matter....

[wigout]

Alright, for whatever it is worth, here's:
Zinwell GPL/Bootcode/tools/bootcode_recovery/mars.BGA.64x2.bin
Zinwell GPL/Bootcode/tools/bootcode_recovery/mars.QFP.128x1.bin

from:brite-View/Cinematube/GPL/5005.rar

Please let me know how it goes- and give me all the details (and logs if you can),
