Flashing Yi 1080p Home Camera with custom firmware 2020 edition (ALLWINNER Chipset)

There are other guides on flashing the yi home camera, so I’m not going to reinvent the wheels.

This guide is for Yi 1080p home cameras that’s been manufacturerd in 2020, you will need the Yi-hack ALLWINNER edition.

The installation are the same as other Yi-hacks.

To check if you have the ALLWINNER version, look at the back of the camera and you should see a small sticker.

Yi 1080p Home BFUS8.2.0*y20ga–
Yi 1080p Home 9FUS8.3.0*y25ga–

You will need this version if it is 9FUS, or BFUS.

That’s all for this guide.
