## Script to mount jffs2 filesystem using mtd kernel modules.

sudo ./mountfs.sh rootfs.bin rootfs 64

Extract rootfs from offcial firmware

dd if=Nano_flash_480272.bin of=rootfs.img bs=1k skip=5184 status=progress
skip(blocks) = SPI_Flash_RootFS_Offset / blocksize = 0x510000 (byte) / 1024 (byte) = 5184

Duplicate the entire rootfs using tar:

# Mount the JFFS2
sudo ./mountfs.sh rootfs.suniv-f1c100s-musbbin rootfs 64

cd rootfs
tar cvzf ../rootfs.tar.gz .
cd ..
mkdir rootfs_new
cd rootfs_new
tar xvpzf ../rootfs.tar.gz

Pack the modified rootfs

mkfs.jffs2 -s 256b --pad=0xAF0000 -d rootfs_new/ -o rootfs_new.img

Write rootfs to flash

sudo ./sunxi-fel -p spiflash-write 0x0510000 rootfs_new.img
Write the content of rootfs_new.img to 0x0510000 and show progress

Write kernel and dtb

sudo sunxi-tools/sunxi-fel -p spiflash-write 0x0100000 linux/arch/arm/boot/dts/suniv-f1c100s-licheepi-nano.dtb
sudo sunxi-tools/sunxi-fel -p spiflash-write 0x0110000 linux/arch/arm/boot/zImage

In U-boot CMD, erase SPI flash and go to fel mode

sf probe 0;sf erase 0 0x100000;reset

Boot from RAM

sudo ./sunxi-fel -p -v uboot ~/licheepinano/uboot.bin \
             write 0x80008000 ../linux/arch/arm/boot/zImage  \
             write 0x80C00000 ../linux/arch/arm/boot/dts/suniv-f1c100s-licheepi-nano.dtb

bootm 0x80008000 - 0x80C00000

Compile Linux Kernel

make ARCH=arm menuconfig   #add bluethooth, etc.
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- -j16
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- -j16 INSTALL_MOD_PATH=out modules
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- -j16 INSTALL_MOD_PATH=out modules_install

Make USB Host working

https://whycan.cn/t_1672.html I'm using Icenowy's 4.15 kernel

1. Device Drivers > USB support > MUSB Mode Selection = Host only mode
2. Device Drivers > USB support > USB Gadget Support ==> Clear this (Optional, to save some space)
3. Edit:

4. Edit dts: arch/arm/boot/dts/suniv-f1c100s-licheepi-nano.dts

&usb_otg {
        dr_mode = "otg";      // Change this from otg to host!
        status = "okay";
};

5. Someone suggests to change this as well, but I find that changing this hangs the usb host operation:
