### Ingenic Cloner Utility
|
|
|
|
The ingenic cloner application is a PC side utility that interfaces with the "USB-Boot" mode built into Ingenic SOCs. By placing the SOC into "USB-Boot" mode, you are able to use the ingenic clonger application to directly flash the firmware chip without physically removing, or interfacing to the flash chip.

|
This guide is a work in progress.

#### Shorting pins on flash chip
|
|
|
|
The first thing to do is locate the flash memory chip on the camera circuit
|
|
board. Typically this is a square chip with 8 pins labeled 25Q64 or 25Q128,
|
|
rarely 25L64 or 25L128. If you have trouble locating the chip, try taking
|
|
some pictures of your board from both sides. Then ask for help
|
|
[in our Telegram channel](https://t.me/openipc).
|
|
__Do not try to short-circuit any random chip! It will most likely burn your camera circuit.__
|
|
|
|
Short-circuit pins 5 and 6 of the flash chip with a small metal object,
|
|
a screwdriver or tweezers, right after the bootloader starts but before it
|
|
calls up the Linux kernel.
|
|
|
|
Pins 5 and 6 of the SOIC8 chip are on the opposite corner of pin 1, indicated
|
|
by the embossed or drawn dot next to it.
