Re: Wine and Amlogic’s USB Burning Tool

I just did what I usually suggest for these things, searched «linux wine Amlogic USB Burning Tool»:. Got exactly 4 hits, one of which was this thrtead, none of which linked to the WIne app database. Which is what you’re looking for with Wine.

Why don’t you try the WIne forums? I don’t think you’ll get many answers here.

Well, Wine is supported in the sense it’s in the repo, but it’s not part of the default installation.

I’m in the process of learning Wine, have registered at WineHQ and so was able to run a search. The only thing which came up was an old forum thread, at which point (2011) it didn’t work. More discouraging, perhaps, it that there’s not a single user report in the database.

Seems to me you’ll do better trying to solve the problem natively. For example, I notice Amlogic has a Linux page. Or a workaround as described here.

Hope that helps. Good luck.

Amlogic Burning Tool

Utility for flashing controllers based on Amlogic processors.

The utility only works on Windows operating systems.

Preparing

To correctly detect the controller during USB flashing, you need to install the driver CP210x USB to UART Bridge.

Download and install Amlogic Burning Tool for your device.

Connecting the device

The device must be connected with a USB cable to the PC for flashing.

The controller is also powered through this USB cable during flashing and it is not necessary to connect the main power supply.

• Some devices have more than one USB port.
• Look in the documentation of your device to see which USB port the device is connected to for flashing.

Switching on and booting up the device

To flash the device, it must be booted into bootloader mode (update mode). This can be done in several ways:

• As a rule, the device has a button for switching the loading mode. The button can be accessed through a hole in the housing. When turning on the device or rebooting it, it is necessary to hold this button pressed for 1-2 seconds from the moment the USB cable (power) is connected.
• There are other ways to switch to bootloader mode (see documentation for your device ).

After the device is successfully connected to the PC and identified in the Burning Tool program, the following message will be displayed in the main program window: Connect success will be displayed in the main program window:

Selecting the software image for the firmware

You can find the current firmware image for your device here: JetHome firmware portal.

Open menu File → Import image and select the image to be flashed on the disk. The image will be checked, this may take a long time:

If no errors are found during the check, no message is displayed at the end of the check.

Image flashing

To start flashing the image, press the Start button in the upper right corner of the main program window. The flashing process will start.

If there are errors when flashing the image, it is necessary to uncheck the Erase flash and Erase bootloader checkboxes before starting the flashing process.

If an error occurs, the process is interrupted and a message describing the error will be displayed at the bottom of the program window:

When the flashing process is completed, a message will be displayed: Burning successfull:

After that you can press the button Stop, prohibiting the automatic start of the flashing procedure when you reconnect the device to the PC.

Linux version of Amlogic USB Burning Tool

This is just «copy» of files that can be found on Amlogic Openlinux website.

Create new u-dev rule for Amlogic devices (in /etc/udev/rules.d). My file is called 70-persistent-usb-amlogic.rules Content of file is:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV=="usb_device", ATTR=="1b8e", ATTR=="c003", MODE:="0666", SYMLINK+="worldcup" 

When you created your rule either reload udev rules or reboot your machine. Make sure that root folder of this repository is in your PATH variable (I simply put it inside my ~/bin folder) so I can call it from anywhere without specifying path.

And this tool depends on libusb and libusb-compat , you must install those tools first.

Connect your device and put it to USB burning mode, open terminal and navigate to folder where your aml_upgrade_package.img is and issue command:

aml-flash --img=aml_upgrade_package.img --soc=gxl --wipe --reset=n --parts=all 

For more options, just issue aml-flash command. soc paremeter can be gxl (S905, S905X and S912), axg (A113 audio SoC), txlx (TV SoC — T962), m8 (S802, S805 and S812) I tested this tool with sucess on S812, S905, S905X and S912.

This tool is for x64 Linux only. File aml_image_v2_packer is 32bit but update binary (inside tools folder) is 64bit so.
