Here's what we know about the partitions
| Partition | FS | Mountpoint | Meaning | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mmcblk0p1 | ext4 | /mnt/data | Contains all user data (map, wifi credentials, etc) | |
| mmcblk0p2 | fat16 | - | Contains among other things bootloader soundfiles such as bl_recovery_updatefailed.wav | |
| mmcblk0p3 | - | - | extended partition | |
| mmcblk0p5 | u-boot env, flags etc | Also contains the "broken" flags for the rootfs partitions | ||
| mmcblk0p6 | ext4 | /mnt/default | Contains robot identity data such as the device.conf | |
| mmcblk0p7 | ext4 | Contains the stock firmware | This will be restored on factory reset by copying it onto rootfs1 and rootfs2 | |
| mmcblk0p8 | ext4 | / | rootfs1 | systemA |
| mmcblk0p9 | ext4 | / | rootfs2 | systemB |
| mmcblk0p10 | ext4 | /mnt/updatebuf | ||
| mmcblk0p11 | ext4 | /mnt/reserve |
Please refer to the 34C3 talk to learn about the update process which should explain what systemA, systemB and /mnt/updatebuf mean.
S5 Max
The S5 Max and more models come with different sided nand flash chips depending on model and model year. Please refer to the vacuum robot overview to find more about that. Usually, the chip will either be 256mb or 512mb in size.
