No Tool Installation

The Installation page provides general information that's independent of SoC and vendor on how to install Thingino.

Certain cameras allow the installation by leveraging the vendor's firmware update process without requiring tools to open the device. Be aware that this process may be changed by the vendor, so there's no guarantee that this method will continue to work.
Nevertheless, we share instructions for certain devices.

Verifying the SoC Model from Connado D1

To verify which of the known SoCs was used in the Cinnado D1 the case needs to be opened. The case is divided into two parts and the upper case is clipped into the bootom. You don´t need to unscrew your camera. Carefully remove the upper case perhaps with a small tool. After that you can adjust the camera to see the board and which chipset has been used.

The Cinnado D1 devices' bootloader will look for a file v4_boot.bin which if present, will be used to replace the device's bootloader. Therefore, Thingino's bootloader can be installed first, and then Thingino via Thingino's auto update process. The steps would be as follows:

First, download the full image

wget https://github.com/themactep/thingino-firmware/releases/download/firmware/thingino-cinnado_d1_t23n.bin

Now, extract the first 256KB:

dd if=thingino-cinnado_d1_t23n.bin bs=1k count=256 of=v4_boot.bin

Now, assuming that your SD card has been mounted at say /media/yoursdcard, copy thingino-cinnado_d1_t23n.bin as autoupdate-full.bin along with the v4_boot.bin file onto it:

cp thingino-cinnado_d1_t23n.bin /media/yoursdcard/autoupdate-full.bin
cp v4_boot.bin /media/yoursdcard/

Eject the card, put it in the camera, turn it on and wait two minutes, then follow the Wifi Portal Setup Process.
