The split-layout page now says that openipc.org can set a camera up on the layout from scratch, alongside defib install.

openipc.org got this in OpenIPC/website#482, now deployed. For these SoCs it installs u-boot-<soc>-nor.bin. Where the -split package is published for the chosen edition, it writes firmware.bin at 0x50000 and erases the rest of the chip. Editions without a -split package keep the two-image install; today that's OpenIPC/builder's FPV builds (wfbng).

openipc.org now installs the GK7205V200 family with the u-boot-<soc>-nor.bin
bootloader and, where the -split package is published for the edition,
writes firmware.bin at 0x50000 with the rest of the chip erased
(OpenIPC/website#482, deployed). Builder's FPV editions publish no -split
package and keep the two-image install.

AI Description

• Add openipc.org as a from-scratch installation option alongside defib install.

High-Level Assessment

Documenting both from-scratch options together, with the edition-dependent fallback, fits the existing installation guidance. A separate page would fragment this short workflow.

• Adds openipc.org alongside defib as a from-scratch installation option. Explains the NOR bootloader, conditional split-package installation, and two-image fallback for editions such as FPV builds; both from-scratch options erase settings.
