However, I think you're flashing the wrong file. Luckily it's not big enough to harm the flash sections following the kernel, but now I can definitely tell you that your kernel is broken (i.e. no kernel at all anymore). You need to extract update packages with kindletool ( https://github.com/yifanlu/KindleTool), _within_ them is a raw kernel image (file named "uImage", without extension). As there was no easy way of flashing a raw kernel image before, both yifanlu and seaniko provided theirs as update packages.
So you did go the absolutely correct steps here, just using a wrong file to flash. I've been there, I flashed a lot of crap even to address 0x00000000, luckily, it is nicely recoverable.
I'm happy to see that even for a device in a tight reset loop there seem to be "windows of opportunity" to at least flash a full kernel image size's worth of data. That's actually nice. |
Thanks for your feedback. Got yianfu's package. Trying to extract the Kindle package using:
./kindletool create ota --device k3g ~/development/KindleTool/KindleTool/images/
Cannot read input.
Segmentation fault
I get a seg fault. Not sure; why I think I'm following the programs syntax. Luckily enough, this one compiled without any issues ;p. Ideas now?
