Description

The recovery filesystem is located at 0x080000 in flash memory. In this flash segment you will find an initramfs image containing the kernel and a cpio filesystem. The .cpio.gz file can be extracted using the aos-flash utility from aos-tools: 

aos-flash ./recovery_0x00080000 -x recovery.cpio.gz
gunzip -d recovery.cpio.gz
cat recovery.cpio | sudo cpio -idmv

This will extract the filesystem into its individual files, or you can just download this archive (from firmware 1.7.02). Or a copy of the original recovery.cpio.gz.
