Installation: No Tool Methods - themactep/thingino-firmware GitHub Wiki

The Installation: General page provides general information that's independent of SoC and vendor on how to install Thingino.

Certain cameras allow the installation by leveraging the vendor's firmware update process without requiring tools to open the device. Be aware that this process may be changed by the vendor, so there's no guarantee that this method will continue to work.
Nevertheless, we share instructions for certain devices.

Verifying the SoC Model of Cinnado D1

To verify which of the known SoCs was used in the Cinnado D1 the case needs to be opened. The case is divided into two parts and the upper case is clipped into the bottom. You don't need to unscrew your camera. Carefully remove the upper case perhaps with a small tool. After that you can adjust the camera to see the board and which chipset has been used. You can follow this Youtube video to see how to open the cam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94NXZh3LTSo

Update Process

The Cinnado D1 and AOQEE C1 stock bootloaders will look for a file v4_all.bin which if present, will be used to replace the device's firmware.

The steps would be as follows:

First, download the appropriate firmware image for the processor model you identified from https://thingino.com/

Now, rename the firmware file to v4_all.bin and place it on the SD card.

Eject the card, put it in the camera, turn it on and wait two minutes, then follow the Wifi Portal Setup Process.
