Ubuntu :: Access To Firmware Rockchip MP4 USB?
Jan 1, 2011
I have a 16GB MP4 player bought in China. It's based on the Rockchip RK27 chipset. I would like to access to the firmware through Linux, but I cannot access it. When I connect the MP4 player to my laptop it's correctly mounted, but it seems as it has two partitions but only one is mounted and accessible. The MP4 can be seen mounted as /dev/sdb
Code:
~$ mount
/dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
[Code]...
I say that it is supposed to have two partitions, because when it's connected under Windows it takes two drive letters (one for the multimedia stuff and the other one it is not accessible either)
And in Linux in the File Explorer I can see what I assume are the two partitions (Rockchip USBDISK SD and Rockchip USBDISK User). But only the one labelled as User is mounted.

I need to access each drive of a RAID array in order to update the firmware - I am completely new to linux. I think there are probably some potential challanges along the way to get this "working" For example, it seems to me that the array may present itself to application code as a single device. I need to drill down into the RAID and talk to each physical device in turn via some sort of pass-through mechanism. I'm currently pretty lost - can anyone point me in the "right" direction

after installing Ubuntu Natty Narwhal 11.04, I'm experiencing tons and tons of complications with the wireless Internet connection. I have solved most of them. Now I have only one thing left. When I hit the drop-down menu for wireless connections, it says "Wireless connection (Firmware missing)"
I have installed the driver for my wireless card but what is the firmware? I honestly don't know what it is although it's very basic. I have a Broadcom 43xx as my wireless card (specifically 4306). How do I get the firmware for it? Do I find it in Windows? Also I cannot get b43-fwcutter because I have absolutely to Internet connection on Ubuntu. To post this, I'm using Windows.

I can't my system because of this error: Code: linux-firmware: /lib/firmware/radeon/R700_rlc.bin exists in filesystem Note that in the beginning, it asks:
Code: :: Replace kernel26-firmware with core/linux-firmware? [Y/n] There are so many updates by now that the list fills in a few pages in the terminal! Also, I wonder why so many Arch updates get stuck or broken compared to almost any other distro? Is it poorly designed packages? Is it a design flaw in pacman/the package format?

Here's a quick write-up of the steps I took to build the GPL firmware for the WRT160N, the errors I received, and the steps to fix. This was on a fresh install (VM) of Ubuntu 9.10.
1) Download source tarball from LinkSys GPL Code Center
2) Unpack (tar -xvf)
3) Copy the Toolchain to the /opt/ directory (per the Readme)
# sudo -s
# mkdir /opt/brcm
# cp -r ~/wrt160n.../tools/brcm/* /opt/brcm/
# exit <Note: I had to exit sudo to avoid some permission conflicts later on>
4) Build:
# cd ~/wrt160n.../release/src/# make
[Code]...

I tried to install a pci wireless card, just to see if it was faster than my usb antenna. after trying to install the kernel, or firmware or driver, not sure which. i fallowed the instructions on the site that Terminal posted to me. Well... it didn't work. kept getting error msg's. now every time I install updates, new programs, or even uninstall something. weather it be in Terminal, synaptic, Ubuntu software centre, I keep getting firmware-b43-installer error. I'm not using the card, cause I couldn't get it to work. but how do I get rid of the error code that keeps coming up, even though I'm not trying to install it. This is what popped up in Terminal after installing Minitube.

I am experiencing a problem reading long filenames on dual-layer 8.5 Gb DVDs. SEE: [URL] I am considering a possible solution might be a firmware update. The drive is a Toshiba-Samsung : SE-S084B/RSBN [TSST=Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology Corp] Samsung provides ONLY windows updates or a web-based *windows-only* method of installing same.

I need to do firmware updates to various peripherals and may need to do so again in future. The problem is that all or most of the manufacturers provide BIOS updates are Microsoft Windows ONLY.
To that end I thought that I would install WINE, but I have been advised that WINE does not give true access to the hardware layer. As an alternative, I thought of creating a Windows "live CD".
My idea is to create a bootable "live CD Windows" on USB stick, so that I can boot from the memory stick, a

I'm a first time user of ubuntu and any other form of Linux. I decided to install ubuntu on an old Dell Latitude D600. The LAN controller is a Broadcom BCM4306 [14e4;4320] (rev 02). I honestly thought that once I installed ubuntu I would have no problem connecting to my wireless router. I was wrong.
A FAQ on this forum states that I need to install drivers/firmware because presumably there is no out of the box support. I read the FAQ [URL]..Debian and it seems that I need to get the driver/firmware then issue some command to put it where it needs to go.

I have ubuntu and a Texet USB Wireless adaptor. I have a CD with Linux Drivers and I am supposed to be able to copy the folder into libfirmware. Although I am an administrator and have added myself to the group root, I still can't do it, as it says I don't have permissions. I am thinking of trying to use CHMOD once i've read the manual, but wonderd if there's an easier way? The software source and Synaptic Package manager can't help me. Is it as simple as using CHMOD, or is there an easier/harder way?

how to install firmware-b43-installer without internet connectivity. I downloaded firmware-b43-installer from another computer with internet. Then I found out from the error messages I also needed b43-fwcutter. So I also downloaded then installed b43-fwcutter. b43-fwcutter installed with no problems. Then I tried to install firmware-b43-installer again with no luck. I saw in the error messages it said something about broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2. I have no idea how to install a tar.bz2 file.
Here is where I downloaded the files I needed.
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/poo...10.5-4_all.deb
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/poo...013-2_i386.deb
http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/b...0.10.5.tar.bz2
I have all the files now so what do I need to do to install firmware-b43-installer?

When I click on the wireless I get a message saying that I am missing firmware. I've tried connecting via ethernet, however this doesn't work either, would it be a problem if I just found a download for firmware, downloaded on another comp and copy it to my linux computer?

I'd like to install Ubuntu 10.10 in my laptop. So, I downloaded the iso file and burned into CD. I'd like to install into D drive since I use Windows Vista in C drive.
Below is the specification of my laptop.
Mobile AMD processor 2 G HZ, 1G RAM 32-bit Windows Vista Home basic
Harddisk C : 46 G (18giga free), D : 10 G (10giga free) How can I make partition and where should I start with, either Beginning or End of existing partition? SWAP? I watched a few videos but stlll can't grasp clearly how to do. I tried to boot w/ Live CD. But I didn't see the 4 different options: Try out without installing, Memory test, Ubuntu Disk test, Install Ubuntu, and Booting w/ harddisk. I had only 2 options; Try out w/o installing, Installing. Why is it so?
In addition, while booting w/ Live CD, I saw a message as following:
Error: b43.../firmware file not found.. something like this.. it was too fast to catch! However, I went on and show its desktop screen. May I not be able to install in my laptop? Does my laptop have any faulty disk or memory? I wonder. Finally, I use Wireless connection in the library so when I boot with Live CD, then internet is disconnected. Should I need to be connected before installing?

I have a dualboot system with Ubuntu and Windows 7 (grub bootloader). I updated the firmware in my HD, and now grub doesn't work. After POST, instead of getting the menu of OS options, I get "Non-system disk: press any key."After pressing a key, I get the Windows 7 loader, with only a Windows 7 OS option. Windows 7 boots fine, but I have no way to boot into Ubuntu.

I recently switched from 10.04.1 Ubuntu that I had for only about a week, to Ubuntu 10.10 Beta. I switched because I heard that 10.10 comes with firmware right out of the box for BCM4312. I am new with Linux, and Ubuntu, but I do know what some of the commands do and etc. I got 10.10 installed, but the wireless options say "Not connected|Firmware Missing" What do I need to activate the firmware, or install it?

I just now down loaded firmware-brcm80211, I want to put it on a usb stick, so that when I am installing debian, and it asks to insert the "medium" that has the driver, I have it on a usb stick.
My question, do I just copy the package to the device(usb stick), or do I need to extract it onto the stick ?
