Missing `l-loader.bin`?

no_maddo · June 11, 2018, 8:15am

I have a trouble with the following instructions:
https://www.96boards.ai/documentation/consumer/hikey970/installation/board-recovery.md.html

This say, I should

$ git clone https://github.com/96boards-hikey/tools-images-hikey970
$ cd tools-images-hikey970
$ sudo python hisi-idt.py -d /dev/ttyUSB1 --img1 ./sec_usb_xloader.img --img2 ./sec_usb_xloader2.img --img3 ./l-loader.bin

But it seems the github repository doesn’t include l-loader.bin.
Does anybody know how to recovery Hikey970?

Download Android image from here
It cantains l-loader.bin and other files needed.

Thanks you so much!! I feel it’s better to notice l-loader.bin is not the part of tools-images-hikey970…

sudo python hisi-idt.py -d /dev/ttyUSB1 --img1 ./sec_usb_xloader.img --img2 ./sec_usb_xloader2.img --img3 ./l-loader.bin

But it fails so many times. Is it usual behavior?

$ sudo /usr/bin/python hisi-idt.py  -d /dev/ttyUSB1 --img1 ./sec_usb_xloader.img --img2 ./sec_usb_xloader2.img --img3 l-loader.bin 
+----------------------+
(' Serial: ', '/dev/ttyUSB1')
(' Image1: ', './sec_usb_xloader.img')
(' Image2: ', './sec_usb_xloader2.img')
+----------------------+

No. You may try my method .

IMHO this is a mistake in the board recovery instructions… bug filed:

github.com/96boards/documentation

Problem with _documentation/consumer/hikey970/installation/board-recovery.md

opened 04:05PM - 13 Jun 18 UTC

closed 08:42PM - 18 Aug 18 UTC

In progress

Instructions do not work: l-loader.bin is not included in the tools-images-hikey…970 repo (so `sudo python hisi-idt.py -d /dev/ttyUSB1 --img1 ./sec_usb_xloader.img --img2 ./sec_usb_xloader2.img --img3 ./l-loader.bin` will not work). See https://discuss.96boards.org/t/missing-l-loader-bin/4987 . URL: https://www.96boards.org/documentation/consumer/hikey970/installation/board-recovery.md.html

danielt · June 14, 2018, 9:14am

Did you adjust /dev/ttyUSB1 to suit your environment? What was the output of ls /dev/ttyUSB*?

Mani · June 22, 2018, 2:18pm

@no_maddo @danielt Fix submitted to upstream repo addressing the issues!

Thanks,
Mani
