How to flash to target hardware

1. Backup your original flash firmware (use TFTP or Telnet method whether you prefer)

2. Download U-Boot, kernel and rootfs images to your TFTP server

3. Flash U-Boot

sf probe 0 ; sf lock 0
mw.b 0x82000000 ff 0x50000
tftp 0x82000000 openwrt-hi35xx-16cv300-u-boot.bin
sf erase 0x0 0x50000
sf write ${fileaddr} 0x0 ${filesize}
reset

4. Flash Linux kernel

sf probe 0 ; sf lock 0
mw.b 0x82000000 ff 0x200000
tftp 0x82000000 openwrt-hi35xx-16cv300-default-uImage
sf erase 0x50000 0x200000
sf write ${fileaddr} 0x50000 ${filesize}

5. Flash rootfs

sf probe 0 ; sf lock 0
mw.b 0x82000000 ff 0x500000
tftp 0x82000000 openwrt-hi35xx-16cv300-default-root.squashfs
sf erase 0x250000 0x500000
sf write ${fileaddr} 0x250000 ${filesize}

Build manually

Build on Linux machine

Usage example for Debian (8 or 9)/Ubuntu

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/OpenIPC/chaos_calmer.git OpenIPC
cd OpenIPC
./Project_OpenIPC.sh update
./Project_OpenIPC.sh 18ev200_zftlab_rotek

Ready to flash images will be located at bin/hi35xx/openwrt-hi35xx-*
