Perodua Ativa Original Headunit

Manufacturer: Betamek
Model: LV0001 (based on the E-manual) or D55L (More info in description)
Operating System: Linux (Version Unkown) (More info in description)
CPU and RAM: ARM ??? (unknown)

-------------------------------------------Description------------------------------------------------------------

Some ATIVA users on FB managed to find out some secret hidden menus on the ori HU by tapping somewhere in the setting menu

The menus are mostly in Chinese and used for testing purposes. Seems like the firmware is developed by ZhongHong (China Company that used to cooperate with Betamek)

For the OS part, I have dig inside the log file of the Carbit Link on my phone (aka Smartlink), then I found out that the ori HU is stated as model D55L and Linux OS
Can't track back the log file now because it is deleted  cry.gif

----------------------------------- That's all for everything I know about the HU now -----------------------------------------------

The Ativa original HU is actually looking good (floating screen unlike Toyota's CRT) and quite smooth to use as it uses capacitive touchscreen instead of resistive used on Myvi G3 2017-2020 or older and other P2 car
Performance wise I think is acceptable too (it does support up to 720p H.264 playback and has Apple MFI certificate)

However, the only drawback is the ori HU doesn't have AA or CP and only comes with Perodua Smartlink which is too bad and unstable  mad.gif .
Ori HU doesn't have built in navigation too like previous P2 WINCE headunit which makes it impossible to sideload Autokit app to sd card and use AA or CP

** The reason that didn't change to others are Android HU (laggy + unstable) and Japan brand, Pioneer and Sony (too expensive), and also warranty

SO,
Does anyone know how to jailbreak or sideload the ori HU for running Android Auto or Apple CarPlay like MazdaTweak ???

Welcome everyone to share your thoughts below in the comments.

Just figure out that the HU will come out mouse cursor if you plug in mouse and keyboard when booting into startup.

It will freeze the menu and turn into blank screen just the mouse cursor moving.

Raize will not import to M'sia right

Don't know is it possible for Perodua to unlock the AA and CP in future
Or we can unlock it ourself under engineering mode ???

Alza already got Carplay and 360, but ativa only got useless Smart link.....

Tech specs about the Betamek player:

Processor: Telechips TCC8974 (CPU: ARM Cortex A7 Dual Core@1Ghz GPU: Mali 400-MP2)
PMIC: Telechips TCC5027
ROM: Kioxia TC58NVG2S0HTA00 4Gb NAND (512MB)
RAM: Samsung K4B2G1646F-BYMA 2Gb DDR3 x2 (512MB)
MCU: Freescale FS32K144UAVLL
PA IC: Toshiba TCB001HQ (Max 45W x 4Channel)
BT: FLC-BTMDC732 (Should be)

Seems like the TCC8974 is using the same as Kenwood DDX9018DABS and Hyundai/Kia Gen5 Android HU
The SOC also supports Linux and Android 4.4 - 6.0

Is anyone willing to share how to get to the service menu?
I see there is a host and device mode. Thinking that maybe I can put it into device mode and start
probing the Linux file structure and even make a dump of the OS.

Here you go. Credit goes to Shaun Ng from Ativa Facebook Group.

I actually tried to connect the HU with my laptop through USB male to male. The Device Manager was detecting something but there is no driver to control the HU (maybe like ADB or something missing)

Hopefully you can make it. Looking forward to ur reply.

Tried plugging into the front USB port with OTG on device mode instead of host. Got nothing interesting.
Suspect that the USB port is not the one on the front but via a debug pad or unsoldered USB port that is used for testing and loading in the factory.

Unfortunately, I don't have an extra head unit. Perhaps when I change mine to a 3rd party Eonon head unit, I'll take the stock one and hook it up to a power supply and reverse it. Not sure when I'll change mine.

I tried to look for TTL or any serial port on the mainboard but also no result....

However, I saw someone on Github using USB Ethernet adapter to establish ssh server with Linux HU and gain root access.
If you have USB Ethernet Adapter, maybe you can try and see...

Here's the Github link

Unfortunately, this does not work with my Ugreen ethernet adapter. Probably due to lack of any kind of LAN driver in the firmware.
