Chip Architecture Block Diagram

Introduction for use

1.Program burning
(1)Install the driver under Windows
Find zadig-2.5.exe in the tool software folder and open it.

(2)Install FEL mode Driver

(3)Install DFU mode Driver

(4)Brush tool SUNXI-FEL
This tool is when the Allwinner SoC fails to boot in all Flash,the chip automatically enters the FEL Flashing state and communicates through USB.
This part will use sunxi-fel.exe in the compressed package. Do not insert the TF card,press and hold the BOOT button and then plug in the USB cable;or insert the USB first,press the RST button while holding the BOOT button,you can actively enter the USB Flashing mode,and the computer detects a new USB Flashing device.
When using sunxi-fel,you must use the command line.For example,you can install a git tool(https://git-scm.com/downloads)instead of the terminal that comes with windows. A working FEL device,we can test ir with the command:

(5)Brush tool DFU-UTIL
️This part will use dfu-util.exe in the tools folder.
️️️①Put the module in FEL mode.
②Run the from-fel-to-dfu.bat script,double-click to run.Or run the commands in the script on the Windows command line.
③At this point,the module will print some logs.When you see these,it indicates that the module is in DFU mode.

④Prepare the NAND image, and then use the following command to flash the machine in the Windows command line.

Please modify the specific path yourself
Brush log:

Burn write to TF card
1.Prepare a TF card and a card reader connected to the computer,open the Win32DiskImager software;Select the corresponding image file, click Write to start burning
