so possibly this could do the trick "FastBoot3.1_BVT.exe"? --> Hi3516A开发--板卡烧写 - CSDN博客

ah missed two little file called "Install" and "InsatllDesc" with content: // ±æ…˝º∂∞¸ ∫œµƒ”≤º˛¡–±Ì£¨“‘º∞…˝º∂√¸¡Ó–Ú¡–°£ // …˝º∂∞¸µƒø…–≈»Œ–‘”¶∏√µ√µΩ±£÷§£¨∑ґڅ˱∏”–±ªhackµƒø…ƒ‹°£ // …˝º∂∞¸µƒø…–≈»Œ–‘”¶∏√µ√µΩ±£÷§£¨∑ґڅ˱∏”–±ªhackµƒø…ƒ‹°£ {//...

thats weired: got two of those yesterday evening - today its blocked! anyway - they look like this: General_HZXM_IPC_HI3516C_53H20L_S38_V4.02.R11.Nat.OnvifS.20160511_ALL.bin General_HZXM__IPC_HI3516C_50H20L_RT3070_V4.02.R11.Nat.OnvifS.20160615_ALL.bin and content is: custom-x.cramfs.img 21kb...

thats the point - would be too easy: both ieGeeks died long time ago caused by firmware upgrade... :( meanwhile I found this website but also no flashable image, isnt it?!

yes and no: I've got a 3518 and an additional 3516 based one; both from ieGeek... and ready to go now: CH341A with inplace SOP8 testclip arrived a few days ago but I did not get a full bin-file to flash the 25Q128 spi chip yet... ideas?

btw: is this a good way to build up own firmware image that can be flashed on mentioned SPI flash chip? --> hi35xx/hi35xx-buildroot

me again - the tinkerer ;) I'll give it a try: just ordered the CH341A programmer and the SOP8 clip at ALiExpress; will take some time to deliver Question: does this eprom only contain the boot loader or the whole firmware? got another working IPCAM with HI3516 and U-Boot running fine - flash...

oh my dear... lets say this is really "china crap" and I will invest time & money in a Hikvision IPCAM now... Thank you very much again for your effort !! BTW: and Yes -> it has a 24 / 25 series SPI flash in an 8-pin DIP package! BUT: do I have to unsolder it? ist a SMD device and what...

thanks again mate! now... is there any chance to boot from prepared SDCARD in integrated slot?

okay... after a while I was so frustrated and decided to write "u-boot-200MHZ.bin" (from: Hi3518_SDK_V1.0.7.0) via "sf write 0x80008000 0 0x100000" to Flash - now the device is gone completly and not even booting anymore... :(

First of all: thank you to help me on this bricked stuff!! short review: my ieGeek 1080p was flashed with most current firmware v11.x from official ieGeek site (!) because motion detection was not as good as needed and after a reboot there is NO webinterface, even NO configuration can be done...

bootup sequence looks like this: 16384 KiB hi_fmc at 0:0 is now current device ## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 82000000 ... Image Name: Linux-3.4.35 Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) Data Size: 1832528 Bytes = 1.7 MiB Load Address: 80008000 Entry...

so, this should be the layout for HI3518 IPCAM: Flash memory partitions layout Address (position) Name Size (KiB) MTD file 0x000000 Boot 1024 /dev/mtdblock0 0x100000 Kernel 2944 /dev/mtdblock1 0x3e0000 Rootfs 10112 /dev/mtdblock2 0xdc0000 Config 1280 /dev/mtdblock3 0xf00000 Key 64...

any hints please?

what I did meanwhile: tried to upload a renamed Firmware.bin via TFTP as uImage sf probe0 sf erase 0x3e0000 0xa00000 tftp uImage sf write 0x80008000 0x3e0000 0x36ff18 reset no luck :( so: is it possible to get the needed mtdblocks splitted from Firmware.bin file?
