Title: Wiki A13 and LiveSuit
Post by: Vladimir.Kovin on December 17, 2012, 09:17:18 AM
On Wiki page https://www.olimex.com/wiki/A13-OLinuXino I have found  "LiveSuit for loading images to the NAND flash"
According this instructions "mkdir cubie; cd cubie
git clone https://github.com/matson-hall/allwinner-pack-tools.git
cd allwinner-pack-tools
git checkout cubieboard
cp tools/Livesuit-linux.zip <destination>
cd <destination>
unzip Livesuit-linux.zip
cd LiveSuit_For_Linux64
chmod +x Livesuit.run
./Livesuit.run"
on this page I installed LiveSuit (V 3.0.1) for linux, but if You try to open image, I've got error "Image file invalid", but I flash this image on windows and I's works.

Where I can get LiveSuit for Linux?

unfortunately Linux Live Suit do not work well and is work in progress from what I found, here is what Alejandro Mery wrote on IRC channel:

[ 10.01.2013 22:57:01 ] <mnemoc> livesuit for linux is for ubuntu64 and requires a kernel module
[ 10.01.2013 22:57:17 ] <mnemoc> fortunatelly there is work in progress in a free software replacement
[ 10.01.2013 22:57:50 ] <mnemoc> the free packing tools work. the image writting part is still incomplete
