We put Dingux on the Dingoo A320 from under Win, Mac and Linux for all types of screen downloader



    So, recently my long-awaited Dingoo came to me and naturally I immediately wanted to try Dingux . At the request of dingoo fans, about the problems that I had to face and about their solution in order under the cut.

    1. We will need the ding itself. Where to get it for 50 bucks is written here . (they say there is no longer anyone who finds cheaper where, please write to the PM)

    2. If you already have a console, then this is not enough, you still need a miniSD card (recommended up to 8GB). This was one of the most difficult quests for me, I had to wait until the morning until the stores open.

    3. Format the card in FAT32.

    4. Download localpack (343.13 MB) (you can download it from any other place, from the link my personal, based on v0.35). Attention bonus! In / home / games you will find the legendary impenetrable mario from this video.

    5. Download dingux_dual_boot_installer_20110420 for ILI9338.zip (9.7 MB) There is a version for the new screen downloader, in all the manuals I came across there was a link to the old installers.

    6. Now we have to determine the type of your screen loader. We load the ding, go to the settings, there is the about item and already in it we quickly type UP-RIGHT-DOWN-UP-RIGHT-DOWN. The screen should change and all kinds of labels will appear, among them we need to find one of the following:
      1. ILI9338
      2. ILI9331
      3. ILI9325
      WRITE or remember!
      If you downloaded my localpack and you have the bootloader type ILI9338, then you can skip the next step.

    7. Download dingux_system_20091022_plus_ILI9338.zip (26.8 MB) from there we need only one of the three files, do not touch rootfs, it goes with all localpack. We find zImage-ILI93xx corresponding to your bootloader, RENAME in "zImage" and replace it with a similar file in your localpack.

    8. Now you need to copy localpack to the card, BUT first we copy 2 rootfs and zImage files and only then the rest. (Otherwise, the system will either load for a long time or not boot at all). In total, we get that in the root of the folder there will be the contents of the localpack folder, namely 2 (3) files and the local directory.

    9. Now we need to connect the console to the PC in magic mode. To do this, stick USB, unmount all storage devices, for example, for me like this:
      umount /dev/sdc 
umount /dev/sdd1

      (under Windows, safely disconnect the device, under Linux you can use gparted)
      Now, without removing the USB, we go to look for a sharp thread (clip, needle) and holding the button B we poke our console in the hole - the screen should go blank. For Linux and poppy, this should be enough, and under Windows you will need to update the firewood from the dingux_dual_boot_installer archive (device manager, etc. - there is Google, everything is simple here)

    10. Open the command line! We go to the folder of the unpacked dingux_dual_boot_installer
      and type the following commands, replacing the ILI93xx in each line with your bootloaders :
      For Windows: (if it fails, try a virtual machine with windows XP)
      
usbtool-win 1 hwinit_ILI9338.bin 0x80000000
usbtool-win 1 zImage_dual_boot_installer_ILI9338 0x80600000

      For Linux: 
      
sudo ./usbtool-linux 1 hwinit_ILI9338.bin 0x80000000
sudo ./usbtool-linux 1 zImage_dual_boot_installer_ILI9338 0x80600000

      For Mac:
      
./usbtool-osx 1 hwinit_ILI9338.bin 0x80000000
./usbtool-osx 1 zImage_dual_boot_installer_ILI9338 0x80600000


    11. We read and poke (with the button start 1. continue 2. Yes 3. Dualboot. 4. Yes), there should be no problems. After the inscription SUCCESS click start and DONE! Downloading to dingux is done by holding select while loading the console.


    On the Internet you can find many articles on this topic, but all of them are, to one degree or another, incomplete. I hope this article helps you enjoy all the features of dingux.

    UPD: I looked, people haven’t died yet (they still have 45 days to live), I once threw in a post: My pack of Russian roms dendy (37.3 MB) and sega (168 MB)

    UPD2: I hasten to notice that my The method from the developer's manual (the manual lies in dingux_dual_boot_installer ) is very strange if it does not work for someone. Nevertheless, a good person wrote to me on soap ( ) and said that there might be problems with installing under Windows, so he recommended using another utility:
    Then I used the usb_boot.exe utility.
    Download the utility here
    tinyurl.com/y9y6rc6.
    To the utility, put your zImage_dual_boot_installer_ILI93XX
    then read the readme on using the commands of this utility.
    The following is written in Russian:
    0. Install the driver from the usb_boot_driver archive. The procedure is similar to
    installing the driver described in this article.
    1. Make a reset of the ding with the pressed B button
    2. Run usb_boot.exe
    3. type the following commands
    boot 0
    load 0x80600000 zImage_dual_boot_installer_ILI93xx 0
    go 0x80600000 0
    4. Then a flasher will appear and start the installation.
