development and testing in progress!!!

English:
This package is designed to automate operations firmware update for the devices based on processor RK2918.

Important!
Use of this software package can cause damage to your device!
This software package is supplied "as is" and without warranty.
This software package may not meet your expectations.

You can:
- Unpack the firmware file consisting of one kind update.img (img mode, used RKBatchTool)
- Unpack the firmware file consisting of a set RK29xxLoader.bin Image/boot.img Image/system.img etc (Image mode, used RKTool)
- Change the name of the device and partition sizes (parameter file)
- Install su and superuser (root access)
- Install busybox in /system/xbin and create symlinks for the utilities that comes with busybox (like busybox pro)
- Choose and install some system applications
- Change the file size system.img
- Create update.img
- flash update to device

also
- Create their own plug-ins
- To create automated scripts based on an existing plugin library
- Modify the list of proposed system applications
- Plug-in to remove files from the "black list"
- build.prop fixes

and
- dump current flash from device

Notes
The package runs on Linux operating systems (development and testing on OpenSUSE 11.4/12.2)
With the user interface is implemented using utilities 'dialog'
Binary utilities (directory bin) can be compiled using:
# cd src /
# make all install
Dependences: libusb-1.0, libusb-1.0-devel, libssl, libssl-devel, dialog, sudo, cpio, zip, gcc
To work actively used sudo (you can setup password-less mode) - need to modify the partition system (or run from root user)

Use:
[full_or_partial_path/]menu.sh [workdir]
[full_or_partial_path/]batchImgRepack.sh [full_or_partial_path/]old.img
[full_or_partial_path/]batchImageRepack.sh [full_or_partial_path_to_Image]
flashdump

workdir may contain update.img (img mode) or set of files (Image mode)

Select a Folder
The directory-selection dialog displays a text-entry window in which you can type a directory, and above that a windows with directory names.
The directory window will display the contents of the path and the text-entry window will contain the preselected directory.
Use tab or arrow keys to move between the windows. Within the directory window, use the up / down arrow keys to scroll the current selection. Use the space-bar to copy the current selection into the text-entry window.
Typing any printable characters switches focus to the text-entry window, entering that character as well as scrolling the directory window to the closest match.
Use a carriage return or the "OK" button to accept the current value in the text-entry window and exit.

Select File
The file-selection dialog displays a text-entry window in which you can type a filename (or directory), and above that two windows with directory names and filenames.
Use tab or arrow keys to move between the windows. Within the directory or filename windows, use the up / down arrow keys to scroll the current selection. Use the space-bar to copy the current selection into the text-entry window.
Typing any printable characters switches focus to the text-entry window, entering that character as well as scrolling the directory and filename windows to the closest match.
Typing the space character forces dialog to complete the current name (up to the point where there may be a match against more than one entry).
Use a carriage return or the "OK" button to accept the current value in the text-entry window and exit.

Russian:
Этот пакет создан для автоматизации операций модификации прошивок для устройств на основе процессора РК2918.

Важно!
Использование данного программного пакета может привести к повреждению вашего устройства!
Данный программный пакет поставляется "как есть" и без каких либо гарантий.
Данный программный пакет может не соответствовать вашим ожиданиям.

Вы можете:
- распаковывать прошивки состоящие из одного файла вида update.img (img mode, используется RKBatchTool)
- распаковывать прошивки состоящих из  набора файлов RK29xxLoader.bin Image/boot.img Image/system.img etc (Image mode, используется RKTool)
- изменять название устройства и размеры разделов (parameter file)
- устанавливать su и superuser (root доступ)
- устанавливать busybox в /system/xbin и создавать симлинки для утилит из комплекта busybox (аналогично busybox pro)
- выбирать и устанавливать некоторые системные приложения
- изменять размер файла system.img
- создавать update.img
- обновлять прошивку на устройстве

также
- создавать свои плагины
- создавать  автоматизированные скрипты на основе существующей библиотеки плагинов
- изменять список предлагаемых системных приложений
- плагин для удаления файлов из "черного списка"
- плагин изменение некоторых настроек build.prop

еще
- сливать прошивку с устройства

Заметки
Пакет работает на операционных системах Linux (разработка и тестирование на OpenSUSE 11.4/12.2)
Интерфейс с пользователем реализован с использованием утилиты 'dialog'
Бинарные утилиты (каталог bin) могут быть скомпилированы командой:
# cd src/
# make all install
Зависимости: libusb-1.0, libusb-1.0-devel, libssl, libssl-devel, dialog, sudo, cpio, zip, gcc
Для работы активно используется sudo (беспарольный режим желателен, но не обязателен) - необходим для модификации раздела system
можно запускать от пользователя root

Использование:
[full_or_partial_path/]menu.sh [WorkDir]
[full_or_partial_path/]batchImgRepack.sh [full_or_partial_path/]old.img
[full_or_partial_path/]batchImageRepack.sh [full_or_partial_path_to_Image]

WorkDir может содержать update.img (IMG режим) или набор файлов (Image режим)
