Hybrid Android helper

WORK IN PROGRESS, DO NOT USE

A helper program that encapsules all root operations needed by HybridELEC Rebooter.

This includes but is not limited to:

  • Find the partitions on which CoreELEC and EmuELEC system images are stored on
  • Update u-boot envs to next boot to on-eMMC CoreELEC or EmuELEC
  • Reboot in various ways

All these happen purely in user space, without external binary or library dependency. The program understands FATFS and u-boot env by itself.

Build

In most cases this should be built as a staticlly-linked binary called by HybridELEC Rebooter. For maximum compatibility it's recommended to build it against ARMv6 hard-float MUSL toolchain.

Cross-complication toolchain setup

This is only needed before first build

Install both rustup and ARM linker, on Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -Syu rustup arm-none-eabi-binutils

Configure stable as the default toolchain

rustup default stable

Use rustup to add an ARM hard-float MUSL toolchain

rustup target add arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf

Add the following section to your ~/.cargo/config.toml so cargo knows which linker to use for the ARM hard-float MUSL toolchain

[target.arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf]
linker = "arm-none-eabi-ld.gold"

Cross build

cargo build --release --target arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf

The built binary would be target/arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf/release/hybrid_android_helper
