How to enter flash mode

Unlock the bootloader according to this guide: http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-fully-unlock-the-amazon-fire-tv-bootloader/

Then you can use fastboot (or the pmbootstrap flasher) to flash and boot images. A USB A-to-A cable is needed to connect a PC for fastboot. I made a dongle by soldering two USB A connectors I salvaged from scrap cables together, then used a USB extension cable with it.

Installation

Upload root filesystem to the partition of your choice using fastboot. I chose the userdata partition since it doesn't replace the default Android installation and has the most space.

Test the boot.img with fastboot, then if it works flash it to the boot partition.

Mainlining in progress, code here: https://gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/linux-next

The branch has both Amazon FireTV and Galaxy Note 3 changes.

Notes

  • The FireTV has serial port pads on the bottom side of the PCB. You can solder to them with a fine tipped soldering iron. There is no external serial port available. I modified mine by adding a 3 pin header port and cutting a notch in the case to fit it. See here: [1]
  • The FireTV only has one USB port. It is a type A port, but it can be used as a client through an A-to-A adapter. This allows Fastboot usage.
  • Wireless LAN is a USB device - Qualcomm Atheros 0CF3:9374 (ath6kl)
  • Ethernet is a PCI device - Atheros L2 Ethernet Driver - version 2.2.3, PCI 0000:01:00.0 (atl1c)
  • mmc0 is the EMMC - M8G1GC 7.28GB
  • Debug serial port is on GSBI4
  • TPD12S016 output enables seem to be tied high, so no GPIO stuff needed for it

Chips On Board

  • Burr Brown DIT4192I - Looks like some sort of I2S to S/PDIF chip for the optical output
  • Samsung KLM8G1GEAC - 8 GB eMMC
  • SKhynix H9TKNNNBPDAR - 2 GB LPDDR2 RAM
