installation process

[scorpio1379-1]

good day. i have some questions about installation process for LX06 speaker. i've managed to backup boot0,data0 and system0 partition as @danielk117 described in /research/LX06/install.md those files have *.dump file name , but when i execute sudo make extract FILE=image-mtd4 after docker run -it -v $PWD:/xiaoai xiaoai-patch, i receive "No such file " error. i understand that i missed image creation step , but how can i make correct image? @danielk117 just say "create a img file using binwalk" but how can i make it? should i download lx06/mico_firmware_9c712_1.74.10.bin or maybe system0.dump (it looks like system0 is rootfs, but i m not sure) , how i must "flash the not-in-use rootfs partition" ? can you give some more detailed instruction?

There are many ways to gather the system image.
Whatever you choose, use common sense to know what is the parameter you have to provide.

So, if you did backup system0 and that image contains the system base you want to use, then run

sudo make extract FILE=system0-image-filename

You can check what is the in-use rootfs partition by using different commands:

df -h
ls -l /dev/root

The non-in-use will be the partition that is not mentioned there. 🙂

i must execute df -h on speaker os , right? but how can can i log in , assuming that i have only micro-usb connection to speaker as @danielk117 described in install.md?

just say "create a img file using binwalk" but how can i make it? should i download lx06/mico_firmware_9c712_1.74.10.bin or maybe system0.dump

Both should create an img file, binwalk -e system0.dump or binwalk -e mico_firmware_9c712_1.74.10.bin.

binwalk -e system0.dump create a directory with ./_system0.dump.extracted/squashfs-root dir and 0.squashfs file
I assume that it do same as sudo make extract FILE=system0.dump
Am I right?

just to make all things clearer:
I made backup by update.exe mread store system0 normal 0x40000000 system0.dump
then

sudo make clean
sudo make extract FILE=system0.dump
sudo make patch MODEL=lx06

then in ./squashfs-root/etc/shadow I have change root password how it described in install.md

then
sudo make build MODEL=lx06

in ./release/ I will get image file to flash (say it will be new_lx06_image)

update.exe partition boot1 boot0.dump
update.exe partition system1 new_lx06_image.img

do not understand this one though

• flash system0 partition
  • if you want to patch the installed firmware on your speaker (the factory installed version might be newer than the one we try to flash),
    then skip flashing the system0 and set /usr/bin/fw_env -s boot_part boot1,
    follow the next step and then get an copy of mtd4, i.e. by dd if=/dev/mtd4 of=/tmp/system0.img and scp for transfering to your computer

I have to flash both partitions(system0 and system1) with same image?
How can I execute
/usr/bin/fw_env -s boot_part boot1 or
dd if=/dev/mtd4 of=/tmp/system0.img
if I only have usb connection and can do something only by update.exe?

if you want to patch the installed firmware on your speaker (the factory installed version might be newer than the one we try to flash)

you can patch a dumped or downloaded firmware (its your choice). for me, the dumped firmware was never than latest available downloadable firmware, so I wanted to patch the dump instead.

at this step in the instruction, you should already haved flashed boot0, boot1 and system1. flash system0 too or follow the last optional step in the manual (https://github.com/duhow/xiaoai-patch/blob/master/research/lx06/install.md) -> i updated it to makes things clear 😉
