List known Ingenic T10/T20 devices

[stucki]

This is a request for feedback.

Description

The README mentions a list of devices that are known to be working with this project. It also mentions that "any other Ingenic T10/T20 device" is supported. Unfortuantely, I don't know how to find such devices.

It would be great if the documentation (or Wiki) can point to these known devices, as I'm looking for an outdoor camera but still haven't found one so far...

Here's a start:

Hikvision Smart Wifi Cameras

Xiaomi Home Surveillance Cameras

Wyze Cam Home Surveillance Cameras

Siepem S6211-WR Home Surveillance Camera

ANPWOO Digoo BB-M2 Home Surveillance Camera

You can make a cheap piece of crap indoor camera waterpoof with hot glue or probably even super glue. Might not look fancy but it would work. You can muse on that idea. Anything that keeps the water outta the electronics.

can anyone provide a hack link for xiaofang with ingenic TL20

[erew123]

From the looks of it, the Sannce I141HD should be possible as it has a TL20 chip. I may give it a go... Im just reading the instructions for now, but thought Id add this here, after I opened one up to take a look inside.

It also looks like it had 4 x holes for power/gnd/TX/RX programming (not very confident of those though... it may be for some other kind of connector/expansion). So possibly the line of gold pads above the T20 chip are for programming.

Ive started work on the I141HD but Im stuck now, with a device thats booted to root access, however the filesystem is write only link

any help would be appreciated

Did you make and install a custom fw for it?

[erew123]

@jmtatsch Hi... Ive not yet... thats where Im at now. If you look at my post

Ive detailed where Ive gotten to (Photos, Backups, Boot process dump, Command line instructions, root password etc).

Im now just at the stage of, what next.... which firmware should I try on this thing. If you have any suggestions/thoughts on this... Im happy to give it a go. If it gets bricked, it gets bricked.... but Id like to get it working if possible.

Have you any thoughts?

[jmtatsch]

Never done the process myself.
I think the main idea is to make a custom firmware that already contains a sideloader for run.sh so when the file system is marked read only you still have something to easily sneak stuff in.

[erew123]

Thats about where I had gotten to in my head too!! :)

I was just a bit uncertain when it says "Download the CFW for your camera".... Best I can see, I just need to download one of these custom bootloaders and try them..... Was thinking to give the Wyzecam v2 a go as thats T20 based.

Ill give it a shot later and see what happens.

[jmtatsch]

Dont flash those bootloaders. Thats an unneccesary risk.

[jmtatsch]

With your root access, did you dump all these partitions?
Then proceed to build your cfw https://github.com/EliasKotlyar/Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks/blob/master/hacks/howto_modfirmware.md

[jmtatsch]

You are following this https://github.com/EliasKotlyar/Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks/blob/master/hacks/newdevices.md right?

@jmtatsch (thanks for your help with this)

So if I follow the getting root access guide and use either the 128MB or 64MB command, the device only partially boots and then reboots.

If I modify the standard bootargs command to include init=/bin/sh and rw first, the partition it boots to does not become writable and the command prompt I get, is only available for about 60 seconds before the device automatically reboots (looks like there is some kind of watchdog timer).

However, I have the root username/password for the device, so I have dumped the standard Sannce partitions, after letting the device boot normally, with no changes to bootargs, of which there are 6 partitions I have dumped. Please see my dump commands here

So I have 6 x files now, of the Sannce firmware/partitions.

From there, Im trying to follow those guides.... but I am getting lost in the process. Those links you sent are the guides I am following though (as best I can).

I guess in my mind Im stuck on a couple of questions:

1. Are the 6 x files Ive created what I should be doing something with now? and are those files ok, because I didnt use the dump commands for the 64 or the 128?

2. Should I be dumping the files onto an SD card, putting it in the camera and running

fatls mmc 0:1
fatload mmc 0:1 0x80600000 bootloader.bin
sf probe
sf update 0x80600000 0x0 0x40000

against the bootloader file Ive just created?

3. If I need to download a set of files on here, which ones should I try?

4. Something else?

As I say, Im a little lost with this, but kind of putting it together in my head, bit by bit.
