Retrieving device information

= Obtaining meminfo and script.bin from an A10 based device =

meminfo dump

 * 1) Make sure you are using STOCK vendor firmware! To ensure you are using a stock memory settings and script.bin
 * 2) Download a10-meminfo-static from: https://github.com/maxnet/a10-meminfo/raw/master/a10-meminfo-static
 * 3) Put it on a fat formatted usb-stick or micro-sd
 * 4) Start the A10 based device without an sdcard, so that you boot the original android stock firmware
 * 5) Optionally: install a terminal from the app store
 * 6) start a terminal (or ssh in remotely if an ssh server is installed)
 * 7) "su -"
 * 8) insert sd-card
 * 9) do "mount" to see where the sd-card (or usb-stick) got mounted and note which partitions are RW mounted (and which Read-Only)
 * 10) "cat /a10-meminfo-static > /data/cache/a10-meminfo-static" where  usually is something along the line of /mnt/sdcard and where /data is mounted rw. If /data/cache is not writeable, find a location that IS writeable (from the previous step). Sometimes / is rw mounted.
 * 11) "chmod 755 /data/cache/a10-meminfo-static"
 * 12) "/data/cache/a10-meminfo-static" OR "/data/cache/a10-meminfo-static > //a10-memdump.txt" Note that for the second option, it may be required to adjust the path to the sdcard.
 * 13) Send email to linux-sunxi mailinglist with output copy/paste or attach the txt file

script.bin

 * 1) Make sure you are using STOCK vendor firmware! To ensure you are using a stock memory settings and script.bin
 * 2) Start the A10 based device without an sdcard, so that you boot the original android stock firmware

 * 4) start a terminal (or ssh in remotely if an ssh server is installed)
 * 5) "su -"
 * 6) insert sd-card
 * 7) do "mount" to see where the sd-card (or usb-stick) got mounted and note where nanda is mounted
 * 8) if not mounted do: "mkdir /mnt/nanda" and "mount -t vfat /dev/block/nanda /mnt/nanda"
 * 9) "cat /script.bin > /script.bin"
