@QuentinDowsers How did you flash it? I tried it with a own img from balena and the img from the latest release but the linuxdot is not booting with it. I flashed with the windows RK Dev Tool.

@christian1980nrw I have flashed it on linux: you need to have also the image of the bootloader for the RK chip.

The most important step: while the Hotspot is powered OFF but still connected to ethernet and your PC via USB, you need to HOLD down the BT pair button for 5 seconds and plug in the power cable. Then release the BT pair button after holding down for 5 more seconds after powering ON your Hotspot. You need to make sure the BT pair button is held down for the entirety of this process - this will enable the flashing mode

@QuentinDowsers is your unit still on the firmware?

If so, with your permission I can try to remote into it and work out the issue with the ECC chip

QuentinDowsers commented 4 months ago

Hello @shawaj ,

Yes still running on Nebra OS and connected. Of course, you have my permission to work on it. It would be my pleasure.

I might have an idea from https://github.com/helium/ecc508 on I2C bus...

Hello @shawaj , Any news ? Should I send you the connection details in private (because MAC address and hostname are no more the same) ?

shawaj commented 4 months ago

@QuentinDowsers if you could that would be great. You can email me (check my profile for email)

Hi, I made a mistake and install armbian Orangi pi3b image to linxdot ld1001 hotspot. Now even if I press bluetooth button, I can not see any change (maskmode or found one devices) in Rkdevtool. What can I do now? How can I get the maskmode ? Here someone had the same problem: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/34455-customboard-with-rk3566-flashed-with-orangepi3b-armbian-minnimal-image-no-more-maskmode-in-rkdevtool/
