The A5-V11 has only 4MB flash. Where do the 8MB come from?

Same change I did a year ago.

On
/target/linux/ramips/image/rt305x.mk
I've changed in

define Device/unbranded_a5-v11
  MTK_SOC := rt5350                                                                                                       
IMAGE_SIZE := 3776k
IMAGES += factory.bin
IMAGE/factory.bin := \
        $$(sysupgrade_bin) | check-size $$$$(IMAGE_SIZE) | poray-header -B A5-V11 -F 8M
DEVICE_VENDOR := DEVICE_MODEL := A5-V11
DEVICE_PACKAGES := kmod-usb-core kmod-usb-ohci kmod-usb2
SUPPORTED_DEVICES += a5-v11
endef
TARGET_DEVICES += unbranded_a5-v11

On
/tools/firmware-utils/src/mkporayfw.c
I've changed in

static struct board_info boards[] = {
        { 
                  .id  = "A5-V11", 
                   .hw_id    = HWID_A5_V11,                                                                                          
                   .layout_id   = "8M",
                   .key            = KEY_A5_V11,
           }, {

My hardware is similar to a5-v1, but not same.
Has more flash and RAM

In the past I had not changed.

Help.
Same configuration than a year ago.
Before, Free space: 92% ( 988.00 KB )

Now it says too big files.
What can be changed?
I also did it all over again and nothing. "make distclean" feed ... etc.

I think this thread is drifting away from it´s main topic...

@gioreva Is your topic solved?
Have you another question regarding youre device? Then please open a new thread for your other issues...

@juppin

I solved "file too large" changing IMAGE_SIZE := 7872k

Now I can go back to work on the repository.

Image is compiled and uploaded through Uboot.
But it does not boot, what could it be?

OFFTOPIC

There is something wrong with your root partition...
Probably it exceeded the maximum size...???
I see trasfered size of your tftp image is bigger than the erased/written bytes...

Please open another thread for your problem and describe everything you have done...

For example:

  • git clone ...
  • edit file ...
  • place xxx-sysupgrade as xxx.img in tftp root
  • choose boot option x in ralink uboot

And post everything as log in this forum with the preformed text function and probably tje hide details option.
This is better than pastebin as this lasts here "forever".
