ampart is a partition tool initially written for HybridELEC (my project that brings side-by-side dual-booting support on the same drive to CoreELEC+EmuELEC) for easy re-partitioning of internal eMMC device for almost all Amlogic devices to liberate me from editing the device tree for every device just to achive a custom partition layout, in an attempt to achieve Android+CE+EE triple boot on eMMC.
ampart是我最初为了在 HybridELEC（我的实现了 CoreELEC+EmuELEC 同驱动器双系统启动的项目）写的分区工具，为了简单地编辑几乎所有Amlogic设备的内置eMMC设备重新分区，从而让我从为了实现安卓+CE+EE在eMMC上三系统启动的而无尽地修改每个设备树的重复劳动里解放出来
Yet now it has become the one and only partition tool for Amlogic's proprietary eMMC partition table format. It is written totally in C for portability and therefore simple, fast yet reliable, and provides a simple yet powerful argument-driven CLI for easy implementation in scripts
不过目前ampart已经成为了那个唯一的能用在Amlogic的专有eMMC分区表格式上的分区工具。ampart为了便于移植，完全是用C写的，也因此简单，快速且可靠，并提供了一个在脚本里调用非常简单却强大的通过参数驱动的命令行界面
The following SoCs are proven to be compatible with ampart:
下列SoC已证明与ampart相兼容
- gxbb (s905)
- gxl (s905l, s905x, s905d)
- g12a (s905x2)
- g12b (s922x)
- sm1 (s905x3)
- sc2 (s905x4)
DTB modes dclone and dedit is more recommended for post-sc2 SoCs, as they will break if the partitions node in DTB is broken
对于sc2后的SoC来说，更推荐dclone和dedit模式，因为如果DTB里的分区节点故障的话，它们可能会砖
It supports building and running under following platforms:
ampart支持在以下平台上构建和运行：
- x86_64
- mainly on dumped images
主要是在dump的镜像上
- mainly on dumped images
- aarch64
- either on eMMC directly, or
可以直接在eMMC上操作 - on dumped image
也可以在dump的镜像上
- either on eMMC directly, or
Please note for ARM only strict aarch64 host is correctly supported, a partial aarch64 system (e.g. LibreELEC and CoreELEC with 64-bit kernel and 32-bit userspace) could be incompatible due to some >=64 bit data types being used, as a workaround you can run the aarch64 static build on a full aarch64 system (e.g. ArchLinuxARM, EmuELEC, Armbian, OpenWrt, etc.) to install it. A good news is CoreELEC is ppossibly switching to full aarch64 for their newer builds, but I don't know when that will come
请注意，对于ARM，只有严格的aarch64宿主是支持的，一个不完整的aarch64系统（比如说LibreELEC和CoreELEC，内核是64位而用户空间是32位的），由于一些64位以上的数据类型，可能会造成不兼容问题。要绕过这个问题，你可以在一个完整的aarch64系统上（比如ArchLinuxARM，EmuELEC，Armbian，OpenWrt等）上安装。好消息是CoreELEC可能会在更新的构建里切换到完全的aarch64，不过我不知道具体是什么时候来
Please note ampart is a partition tool and only a partition tool, it could be used in installation but it's out of its support scope here, please refer to your corresponding distro for help if it uses ampart for installation (e.g. EmuELEC and Armbian). The script aminstall.py under scripts is just for demo usage as other official demo scripts.
也请注意ampart只是一个分区工具，确实它可以用来安装，但具体的安装问题这里不支持，如果你的发行版使用ampart安装（比如，EmuELEC和Armbian），请到你对应的发行版寻求支持。scripts下面的aminstall.py和其他官方演示脚本一样，只是用作演示用途
With ampart, you can safely turn an eMMC partition table (EPT) that co-exists with MBR/GPT partition tables on Amlogic devices from like this where you dare not create MBR/GPT partitions on:
通过ampart，你可以简单地把Amlogic设备上可以和MBR/GPT分区表并存的一个eMMC分区表（EPT）从这种你不敢创建MBR/GPT分区表的样子：

without breaking the partitions node in DTB so post-SC2 devices won't brick after partitioning (since they rely on partitions node in DTB to work)
而不破坏DTB里面的分区节点，所以SC2之后的设备不会在分区后变砖（因为它们依赖DTB里的分区节点来正常工作）
And if you're willing to break partitions node in DTB, (should be OK for everything before SC2), then with a command line like this:
如果你愿意破坏DTB里面的分区节点的话，（对于SC2之前的来说应该都没问题），那么像这样的一条命令
ampart /path/to/your/eMMC/drive/or/dumped/image --mode ecreate data:::
you can turn EPT further to like this where you can freely create MBR partitions on more areas(5M-36M, 100M-end):
就能把EPT进一步转变成像这样可以在更多区域创建MBR分区（5M-36M，100M到结尾）

There're many more different modes available in ampart, please refer to the documentation for their corresponding usages.
ampart里有许多不同的模式，请参考文档来了解它们各自的用途
Please refer to the documentation under doc for the usage and details about the arguments and official demo scripts. The ampart program itself does not have built-in CLI help message, as it is intended to be used by power users or in scripts, for which the officially maintained doc in the repo should always be refered to anyway.
请参考doc下的文档来了解参数的细节和用法，以及官方演示脚本。ampart程序本身不提供内置的CLI帮助信息，因为它应该被高级用户或者是在脚本里使用，而对于这些用途应该始终参照官方维护的文档
If you're using an ArchLinux-derived distro (ArchLinux itself, ArchLinux ARM, Manjaro, etc), you can build ampart with the AUR package ampart-git maintained by myself:
如果你用的是ArchLinux衍生的发行版（ArchLinux自己，ArchLinuxARM，Manjaro等），你可以通过我自己维护的AUR包ampart-git来构建ampart：
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/ampart-git.git
cd ampart-git
makepkg -si
Otherwise, you'll have to clone the repo and build it from source with make. If you're using a Debian-derived distro like Ubuntu, for example, you can build it like this (ampart only depends on zlib, the FDT support is implemented from ground up without libfdt at all):
不然的话，你就要克隆仓库然后用make从源码构建。如果你用的是Debian衍生的发行版比如说Ubuntu，你可以像这样构建（ampart只依赖zlib，设备树的支持是从底层不经libfdt实现的）
- Install the build dependencies, You could ignore these apt commands if you have the build tools and dependencies installed
安装构建依赖，如果你已经安装了这些工具，你可以略过这一步sudo apt update sudo apt install build-essential zlib1g-dev git - Clone and build
克隆并构建git clone https://github.com/7Ji/ampart.git cd ampart make
If incorporating into a LibreELEC-derived distro, then the following package.mk could be used:
