gunzip rdkb-generic-broadband-image_default_20200809095738.rootfs.wic.gz
mv rdkb-generic-broadband-image_default_20200809095738.rootfs.wic sysupgrade.img

Flashing RDKB image (A Yocto Project based Distro)

Flashing with Medkit & Sysupgrade images

NOTE: This upgrade procedure wipes out eMMC flash storage(/dev/mmcblk0) completely. Earlier partitions are lost.

...

• Connect a USB flash drive to PC that is running Linux. Create a partition in flash drive and format the partition with mkfs.ext2
• Copy both attached medkit image and sysupgrade.img image to USB flash drive.
• Disconnect other USB devices from the Turris Omnia and connect the flash drive to either USB port.

• Hold down the reset button (backside, bottom centre) and plug in the power cord. Wait until the fourth LED lights up (green), then release (before the 5th LED lights up). _{Please check here to see more detail on rescue modes.}

• Wait approximately 2 minutes for the Turris Omnia to flash itself with the temporary image, during which LEDs will change multiple times.

Creating additional partitions

Create partitions for /nvram and rootfs. Reboot the system.

RDK Firmware(Image) upgrade: (Yet to validate)

Approach 1:

RDK firmware upgrade with XConf server: Firmware upgrade through XCONF server - Turris-Omnia - User Manual - 2020 - M6

Approach 2(Quick):

Copy zImage and rootfs files from PC to /tmp/ directory of Turris Omnia which is running RDK Image
