Hi, I may answer my question here myself - just correct me if I wrong :) As far as I know, there is two partitions: boot.img is /boot - bootloader (and kernel ?) recovery.img is /recovery - recovery program
FOTA packages may contain boot and recovery images (from *recovery.cpp*) * 8. main() calls maybe_install_firmware_update() * ** if the update contained radio/hboot firmware **: * 8a. m_i_f_u() writes BCB with "boot-recovery" and "--wipe_cache" * -- after this, rebooting will reformat cache & restart main system -- * 8b. m_i_f_u() writes firmware image into raw cache partition * 8c. m_i_f_u() writes BCB with "update-radio/hboot" and "--wipe_cache" * -- after this, rebooting will attempt to reinstall firmware -- * 8d. bootloader tries to flash firmware * 8e. bootloader writes BCB with "boot-recovery" (keeping "--wipe_cache" ) * -- after this, rebooting will reformat cache & restart main system -- * 8f. erase_volume() reformats /cache * 8g. finish_recovery() erases BCB * -- after this, rebooting will (try to) restart the main system -- So if I want to deliver bootloader update over the air - all I need is a regular FOTA package with boot.img within ? -- -- unsubscribe: android-porting+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "android-porting" group.
