Update Procedure

Place new update labeled "update.zip" on a USB drive, with a single partition (ie, 1st partition on a USB disk, so say "/dev/sdc1")

Insert into Revue in the Right most USB port (if looking at the back, closest to the power jack)

Boot into recovery mode: (confirm?)

  1. Hold the Sync button while plugging in the Revue, keep it held, at the same time hold Menu+L on the keyboard.
  2. Box will reboot, continue to hold Sync button, then hold Alt+L (or mash, your choice), and it should then enter recovery mode.
  3. You can then update the box, with a newer update. Downgrading fails however due to a date check.

Serial Output

The logitech revue board contains a UART1 port on the front of the board which before receiving the boxes initial updates is active. In order to communicate with UART port you will need a USB to TTL adapter (or board that does a similar conversion).

The pins operate at 3.3v and the port at 9600 baud with the following pinout:

PIC Access

  • There is a standard PIC access port to the right of the UART1 port. It can be accessed via a standard PIC Kit Debug board (Tested with version 2). The port has read/write access but the code is pulled from the chip as .hex file and is unreadable thus far.
  • The pinout starting from the left (pin with white square around it) corresponds to pin 1 or Vpp.The remaining pins follow the same layout. PIC Pinout

Updates

The updates contain a subset of update files, a boot.img and a recovery.img

boot.img

The thread at xda-developer has the process to extract from the .img files (thx bftb0):

"the "boot.img" file is in (little-endian) "squashfs" format and unpacks just fine using "unsquashfs" from the (Ubuntu 8.0.04 LTS) squashfs-tools package."

recovery.img

system/boot/recovery.img is a standard Android boot image with some extra garbage (0x580 bytes) at the front. Remove it like so: 

 dd if=system/boot/recovery.img bs=1408 skip=1 > recovery-ungarbaged.img

Unpack that like a normal Android boot image. Something like this Perl script works well.

The kernel (system/boot/kernel) is also a boot image with the same extra garbage at the front.

Odex files

The .odex files can be extracted by using the following guide Deodex Instructions

  • XDP1 --> Intel XDP Debug Adapter Information on XDP Debugging Page 23 Pinout

Volume Management Configuration

Similar to other android based products, external storage can be attached and the device will attempt to mount it to /sdcard as per the following vold.conf: 

volume_sdcard {
    # NOTE: This path is overbroad and will capture any device on the
    # tatung3/tatung4 external PCI bus.  This needs to be fixed, in conjunction
    # with vold changes to handle logical device names (DEVPATH names are not
    # static, unfortunately.)
    media_path     /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:0d.1/usb2/
    media_type     scsi
    mount_point    /sdcard
    read_only      true
}

Note the interesting comment about the media_path as well as the read_only=true attribute.
