Re: *new version* A little zenity-gui for flashing images to the neo
http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict2Database=*Query=transmogrificationOk,
so I've been slaving away over my (not so) little script, and it's about
time for another release.
Changes
- Utility now has the ability to flash the splash image as per request
- Utility can now also backup your device to flashable rootfs / kernel
images (david might like this for building FDOM images)
- Configurification is loaded on startup and saved in /etc/frutil (you
can only modify settings if you run it as root)
- more idiot proofing - uses 'which' to find dfu-util, checks to ensure
it's being run as root, checks that zenity is installed on the host,
checks that you have mkfs.jffs2 installed before backing up, checks that
you have pv installed and acts accordingly (by either using it or not
during the backup [this is not properly tested because I don't have pv,
please report]), and possibly other stuff I've forgotten about.
- new name to reflect the new abilities
Notes:
- I mentioned using dialog instead of zenity for a faster and more
consistent text-only interface. I investigated this, but dialog's file
selection dialog is so awful that I reconsidered and stuck with zenity.
if anybody knows of a decent text-based alternative like dialog but with
a better file selection dialog, I'd be interested to hear about it
- I recommend setting up an ssh authorized key before doing the backup,
otherwise you'll be prompted multiple times to enter the device's root
password. To do this, run 'ssh-keygen' on your host machine and then
copy the contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub on your host into
/home/root/authorized keys on your device. This also means you don't
have to enter your password to ssh anymore.
- I'm taking suggestions for names. I've gone with 'frutil', but
'neotool' also appeals to me. I was calling it 'uberscript' there for a
while, but I'm not a big fan of that...
- I'll get around to making a wiki page for this and linking to it from
the flash and backup pages, but I won't complain if somebody beats me to
it. A copy is available for download at http://users.on.net/~antisol/frutil
Thoughts for future versions / when I have time:
- ability to specify the names of the backup images (currently hardcoded
to ./FreeRunner_rootfs_Backup_`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`.jffs2 and
./FreeRunner_Kernel_Backup_`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`.bin)
- ability to bypass the zenity menus via command-line parameters, i.e:
frutil --flash kernel ./kernelfile.bin rootfs ./rootfs.jffs
- another method of bypassing menus - you create symbolic links called
'neoflash' and 'neobackup', and the utility checks $0 on start and goes
straight to the applicable function, the same way busybox works
- maybe ability to auto-download more things from
downloads.openmoko.org, like the latest kernel / image?
- maybe addressbook management? ability to import contacts into the
device? to do this I'd have to find a way to determine which distro is
installed and act accordingly.
- things people suggest!
*
*As always, suggestions, comments, reports of catastrophic failure,
beer, job offers, sportscars, and millions of dollars are all
appreciated. ;)
enjoy!

A little zenity-gui for flashing images to the neo

I don't really think this is appropriate - zenity is the tool which allows me to use gtk dialog boxes from within a shell script, it doesn't really have anything to do with openmoko or the FreeRunner.

I'm planning on integrating these two scripts into a nice menu-driven uberscript for both backup and flashing [1] http://www.linuxmanpages.com/man1/zenity.1.php [2] http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Flashing_the_Neo_FreeRunner [3] http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Pre-Flash_Backup#Backing-up_flash_images_.28alternative.29 -Dale ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I was bored and just wrote a little zenity-gui for flashing images to the
neo: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/391300/ .
For the zenity-gui you need of course zenity and a bash-shell. To make the
progress-bar work you need to patch dfu-util:
Hi,
I was more bored and wanted to exercise my scripting skillz, so I made
some changes to this script.
new stuff:
- ability to flash more than one image at once - the 'what do you wanna
flash' now has checkboxes instead of radio buttons, and all your
selections are flashed one after the other. (which i find very handy,
stops the FR powering down while you're typing the next dfu-util
command, or locating the next image - works great for flashing a new
distro kernel). if an error occurs, subsequent files will not be flashed.
- more confirmation / idiot-proofing - it now tells you what you're
doing much more clearly (i.e: about to flash Kernel with /foo/bar.bin,
rootfs with /foo/bar.jffs. allows you to confirm that you chose the
right images). also the 'choose file' dialogs tell you what you're
browsing for
- ability for users to press 'cancel' at the various dialogs and exit
gracefully.
- checks that dfu-util exists and is executable. I moved my dfu-util to
/usr/local/bin, so it looks there first, but it will also check the
current directory and prompt if it can't find it
- I wasn't a fan of patching dfu-util, and the pulsating zenity progress
dialog drags my (prehistoric) PC to a crawl, so I disabled the progress
bar and use the text output of dfu-util instead.
hope somebody finds it usefull, enjoy!

I saved your code into a file called flasher and make it executable. I
get the following error.

Sounds like you did a cut'n'paste from email. The problem is that long
lines are wrapped, which breaks programs/scripts. There's at least three
places in the script that suffer from word-wrap, including several lines
that start at line 66.
Something like a bash script really MUST be sent as an attachment, to
ensure this breakage doesn't happen. Meanwhile you can go through the
script and removed the extra newlines, so that echo statements and comments
(the things I noted glancing at the script) are not wrapped.

Woops, please replace 'echo' with 'zenity' in my previous post - I was
thinking 'output' and just type 'echo' without thinking further.

aah, damn word wrap!
