Yeah, I would have expected the write address to have needed to be at 0x41000, that's why I'd love to know how his device is working now, or if there were any Other steps he took.
I suppose i should ask of we are certain those addresses are still correct for 8th gen devices, I haven't looked at that. |
The memory start address of the main and diag kernels have not changed with Gen8 devices.
Each are allocated 4Mbytes, although only a small part of it is used.
Note:
Everything in the eMMC is intended by lab126 to be on 4Mbyte boundaries.
They just do, I am not sure the reasoning they give is valid.
= = = =
The command is:
mmc write {?optional device?} {source in ram, offset: bytes} {destination eMMC, offset: bytes} {length bytes/512 expressed in hex}

Note:
Second reference includes a howto setup for an NFS mounted main filesystem.
It is a lot easier to change a PC mounted filesystem contents that bricks the Kindle, just don't mount it again until you fix it.
The person who wants to install Alpine Linux needs the above information also.
