| These instruction should help you in flashing the bootloader |
| and AOSP images built from sources. |
| Detailed instructions on how to setup the Board can be found |
| here: |
| https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/HiKeyGettingStarted |
| |
| For flashing the bootloader, the top two links should be installed |
| (closed) and the 3rd link should be removed (open): |
| |
| --------------------------------------------------------- |
| | Name | Link | State | |
| | Auto Power up | Link 1-2 | closed | |
| | Boot Select | Link 3-4 | closed | |
| | GPIO3-1 | Link 5-6 | open | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Link 1-2 causes HiKey to auto-power up when power is installed. Link |
| 3-4 causes the HiKey SoC internal ROM to start up in at a special |
| "install bootloader" mode which will install a supplied bootloader |
| from the microUSB OTG port into RAM, and will present itself to a |
| connected PC as a ttyUSB device. |
| |
| Note: The HiKey board will remain in USB load mode for 90 seconds |
| from power up. If you take longer than 90 seconds to start the install |
| then power cycle the board before trying again. |
| |
| Wait about 5 seconds and then check that the HiKey board has been |
| recognized by your Linux PC: |
| $ ls /dev/ttyUSB* |
| or |
| $ dmesg |
| |
| |
| Run the flash-all.sh script after building AOSP for hikey with the right |
| right UART recognised in the above command: |
| $ ./flash-all.sh /dev/ttyUSBX [4g] |
| |
| Remove the link 3-4 and power on the board. |
