Requirements

• Download sosuboot-tegra binary to PC from here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzHUnWusu2zteXYydWo1Q3RGR3c?usp=sharing

• Install tegrarcm to PC with compilation from sources: https://github.com/NVIDIA/tegrarcm

$ git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/tegrarcm.git
$ cd tegrarcm
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

• Install tegrarcm binary for openSUSE PC: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/hardware/tegrarcm

# zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/hardware/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/ Hardware
# zypper in tegrarcm

• Connect AC100 miniUSB port to PC

• Enter RCM aka APX mode on AC100
  • Press CTRL+ESC+Power button

Syslog on PC which shows that RCM/APX mode started

Load sosuboot-tegra

• Read current bct from AC100 with tegrarcm

# tegrarcm readbct --bct=ac100.bct

• Load sosuboot-tegra into AC100 RAM

# tegrarcm --bct=ac100.bct --bootloader=sos-uboot-2017.02-git-00562-g60ea164.bin --loadaddr=0x108000

AC100 will boot into Linux.

Replace factory bootloader with U-Boot

Write U-Boot bootloader binary bundled with sosuboot-tegra into AC100 eMMC

• Switch to boot folder

# cd /boot

• Read your current bct from eMMC into file paz00.bct

# getbct.sh

output:

1+0 records in
1+0 records out

• Check odmdata content in yout bct file

# bct_dump paz00.bct

output:

Version       = 0x00020001;
BlockSize     = 0x00004000;
PageSize      = 0x00000200;
PartitionSize = 0x01000000;
OdmData       = 0x800c0075;
# Bootloader used       = 4;
# Bootloaders max       = 4;
# BCT size              = 4080;
# Hash size             = 16;
# Crypto offset         = 16;
# Crypto length         = 4064;
# Max BCT search blocks = 64;
#
# These values are set by cbootimage using the
# bootloader provided by the Bootloader=...
# configuration option.
#
# Bootloader[0].Version      = 0x00020001;
# Bootloader[0].Start block  = 1;
# Bootloader[0].Start page   = 0;
# Bootloader[0].Length       = 523508;
# Bootloader[0].Load address = 0x00108000;
# Bootloader[0].Entry point  = 0x00108000;
# Bootloader[0].Attributes   = 0x00000000;
...
etc

If OdmData key pair value is zero you need to modify it into valid one 0x800c0075

• Create new bct with bundled U-Boot binary

# mkbct.sh

output:

bct size: 4080
**update_bl()
begin_update(): bct data: b=14 p=9

Image file /boot/paz00.bct.new has been successfully generated!

• Write new bct into eMMC

# uploadbct.sh

output:

949+0 records in
949+0 records out

size may vary depending of U-Boot binary size

• U-Boot written to eMMC you can reboot AC100 now.
