One question please. I have a copy of my RK3188 tablet recovery partition (recovery.img). I got it with rkflashkit. If I unpack the img file with unpackbootimg command I get recovery.img-zImage and recovery.img-ramdisk.gz. Are those files rkcrc-signed, o must I sign them with "rkcrc -k" before flash them to /kernel and /recovery partitions?
<jcarlos>
In other words, how can I know if a file is rkcrc-signed?

jcarlos: yes, kernel-only(zImage) and ramdisk-only(cpio+gz) files need to be converted with rkcrc -k.
<naobsd>
jcarlos: first 4 bytes are K R N L
<jcarlos>
naobsd: So when you unpack you lose the sign?
<naobsd>
what is "unpack"?
<naobsd>
kernel+ramdisk file format is different
<jcarlos>
unpackbootimg
<naobsd>
it doesn't have KRNL
<jcarlos>
naobsd: Ahh. So you must sign only when using kernel or ramdisk alone, not when there are packed
<naobsd>
if you want kernel-only and ramdisk-only image, it needs header (start with KRNL) and trailing crc
<jcarlos>
Ok, ok
<jcarlos>
I understand now

kernel+ramdisk format is different, it can be packed by mkbootimg for RK
<jcarlos>
Mmmm
<jcarlos>
mkbootimg in cyanogenmod is for RK?
<jcarlos>
Or must I use a different version?
<naobsd>
I don't know about recent CM source, probably no
<jcarlos>
So I must replace mkbootimg with an RK-adapted version?
<naobsd>
you should use different(RK) version until it supports RK format clearly
<jcarlos>
naobsd: An url for this RK version, please?

One question please. I have a copy of my RK3188 tablet recovery partition (recovery.img). I got it with rkflashkit. If I unpack the img file with unpackbootimg command I get recovery.img-zImage and recovery.img-ramdisk.gz. But my "file" command says recovery.img-zImage is not a "Linux kernel ARM boot executable zImage" file, it says simply "data". Am I missing anything?

Hello, This is the first time I come here, may I Ask some questions ?

<FergusL>
just go on Markus34 !
<FergusL>
there is a motto that says : don't ask to ask, just ask
<FergusL>
I looked at the latest Rk3188 tablets Markus34
<FergusL>
they've gotten even cheaper
<FergusL>
but i don't know of recent progress regarding installing Linux on i
<FergusL>
I'm really looking forward to doing that as well
<Markus34>
I allready have and use a pengpod700, but would like know if it's possible on a Rockchip tablet as well
<FergusL>
I think it was for Rk3166 but that must be almost one year ago
<FergusL>
a guy said he was working on one model, Pipo S1 iirc, and then he disappeard !
<FergusL>
also, in the folders of this repo, there must be a "board" folder with files inside that defines connections depending on the board model, there you should find the names of the corresponding boards or even devices
<naobsd>
please try any "Linux for RK". what I wanted to say is, it's not only some specific product
<naobsd>
I think if there is kernel source, it's better than nothing, of course.
<FergusL>
did you try on any device ?
<FergusL>
to run linux
<naobsd>
me? sorry, I don't have "any device". I tried my ramdisk on some(few) RK3188 and RK3066 sticks
<naobsd>
well, "please try any "Linux for RK". what I wanted to say is, it's not only some specific product" this doesn't say please use "Linux for RK" with my ramdisk.

<naobsd>
you may use "someone's Linux only for your RK device" if it's available
<naobsd>
my ramdisk is not Linux distro. I just said there is another way to run Linux other than "Linux distro only for some specific RK product"
