Error updating Google Glass firmware using Mac w/ M1 CPU: fastboot: cannot get boot partition size

Question

I am updating the Firmware for the Google Glasses Enterprise 2 as stated on google's documentation.

I am getting the error while I am running this command on terminal fastboot flash boot boot.img It returns with an error as stated above fastboot: error: cannot get boot partition size . Well i tried two different versions of the System images as mentioned on Google's website. I tried to change it to fastboot flash boot_a boot.img but the same error.

I saw someone was having the same issue as well there but no solution. Do someone have idea how can we install the system image on it. I have skipped it and run other commands all goes well but the boot is not working which is why the it only shows me now recovery mode/fastboot.

Answer 1

This is problem with new Mac Mini. Because Apple is not using Intel CPU in new Mac mini M1. flash.android.com cannot update the firmware with browser on Apple M1.

I completed the task with windows pc and everything worked well. I believe this would help someone using M1 processors.

Answer 2

1. run fastboot --help and read somehow carefully
2. flash boot.img with fastboot flash:raw boot boot.img
