Update Instruction

Self Installation

You can install the release to your MicroSD or eMMC with the tool dd in Linux or Win32DiskImager in Windows. Please refer this for more detail.

We've reported that some of users can not watch Android logo on their TV while installing even though installation is proceeded. So please wait for 5 minutes since power on and red and blue LED is on. If blue led is started blinking then installation is proceeding, ODROID-C1 will reboot when finished.

Fastboot Update

Your can update the release by fastboot if you have MicroSD or eMMC already Android installed. If you have USB-Serial kit, you can enter to Fastboot mode when you execute the command fastboot on U-boot command line. Or if you run execute reboot fastboot from Android shell command line, your ODROID-C1 will reboot and get into fastboot mode immediately. You can check if your ODROID-C1 is attached via USB with the command fastboot devices in your desktop.

$ sudo fastboot flash bootloader u-boot.bin
$ sudo fastboot flash dtb meson8b_odroidc.dtb
$ sudo fastboot flash boot kernel
$ sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
$ sudo fastboot flash logo hardkernel-720.bmp
$ sudo fastboot flash system rootsystem.img
$ sudo fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
$ sudo fastboot flash cache cache.img
$ sudo fastboot reboot

How to checkout

You can checkout Android source tree, please refer this page for more detail. Please note, Android source tree is uploading and would be completed in 1-2 days.

Android

$ mkdir odroid-c1
$ cd odroid-c1
$ repo init -u https://github.com/hardkernel/android.git -b s805_4.4.2_master
$ repo sync
$ repo start s805_4.4.2_master --all

ODROID Utility

$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/codewalkerster/android_packages_apps_Utility.git -b s805_4.4.2_dev_master

Using boot.ini

We've started to support boot.ini by default from Android release v1.7. So this does mean ODROID-C1 user can easily configure the boot set up as ODROID-C1 Ubuntu users do. You also can easily modify this file from your desktop or laptop with a text editor when you attach the MicroSD or eMMC Android is installed. Or some of boot set up can be modified by ODROID Utility, display resolution or overscan offset. From Android, you can access this from /mnt/sdcard/boot.ini.

If you remove boot.ini by mistake, for example if you format the FAT partition, Android will boot with the default boot configuration in boot loader. Once the boot is done, boot.ini will be created with default boot set up, /system/etc/boot.ini.template.

boot.ini

Enhanced "/system/etc/wifi_id_list.txt"

Many ODROID-C1 user use USB WiFi dongle with RTL8188CUS chipset purchased from their local electronic store. And we were asked how they can use their WiFi dongle on ODROID-C1 and answered to add a like with below at the end of wifi_id_list.txt with their WiFi dongle's VID & PID. From Android release v1.7, we've added many USB WiFi dongles known product by default to the file, wifi_id_list. These list are collected from the driver source code itself supported and we shipped the driver, 8192cu.ko.
