I open one console via Putty serial baud 115200
Other one via telnet 4444
And the last one an openocd console. So i have 3 consoles open.

The serial console is where i can see the password ect but cannot add some characters

martenjacobs wrote:Hi everyone,

Over the last few days I've been busy working on a Python application that will automate the rooting process of Toon from a Raspberry Pi.
It supports rooting using just the serial port on Toons with U-Boot versions with a known password, and will use JTAG on any other Toon.

If you want to check it out, it's on GitHub.

Just posted a pull request for a modified version of your patching script so it will include a root password (which is 'password') instead of defaulting to no password.

@Markie13:

Sounds like a serial IO issue. Are you sure RxD and TxD are in the right place? Is your serial converter working properly with other hardware?

I will answer this in your topic Marcel

I had the same problem. Turns out you have to connect ground in order to be able to send data to your Toon

After a minor change (password is now randomly generated on the fly due to security reasons) this is now merged. I'll try to make some time in the coming weeks to change the generation of an SSH key pair to an option. For most users, it's easier to use a password. Maybe I'll add an option to let the user specify the password as well.

A thought: you're not leaving the consoles open while running the script, right? If the socket is in use while the script tries to write data to it, it'll probably cause I/O errors much like the ones you're experiencing.

Ran this script a while ago when I bought a second hand Toon. Was perfect and had a rooted toon... since yesterday I guess.

There was an update said Toon and my girlfriend had hit the update button. Now my apps are gone. Is it unrooted now?

Nope.

But you will have to add the apps manually to /qmf/qml/qb/base/Globals.qml again.

But he cannot do this if the iptables config has been reset by the official update. I guess he will have to root again

Right. Forgot about that one...

When is the new version with the option to disable the SSH key pair going to be released?

I tried the auto root with a raspberry pi 1 rev 2. I failed:

pi@raspberrypi:~/ToonRooter $ sudo python . --jtag-available

But when i try to connect:
pi@raspberrypi:~/ToonRooter $ ssh -i id_rsa root@192.168.1.18
ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.18 port 22: Connection timed out

What am I doing wrong?

Fixed it.

When i use this pin layout it worked.

JTAG connector Toon --> Rapberry Pi GPIO (signal name)

1 --> NC (RTCK)
2 --> 24 (TRST)
3 --> 20 (GND)
4 --> 23 (TCK)
5 --> 6 or 25 (GND)
6 --> 22 (TMS)
7 --> 18 (SRST)
8 --> 19 (TDI)
9 --> NC (Vt)
10 --> 21 (TDO)

Thanks a lot! Nice script!

Congrats, and thank you.

Good to see that people actually start reading when things don't work, instead of freaking out immediately.
There's many a forum that will envy us for that

Isn't that the same pin layout as described everywhere ?
What did you use before and where did you get it from?
