Repartitioning

Download partition table part.cfg

and command file in the same dir

repartition.sh
#!/bin/bash
 
# Change this paths to you own
nvflash=~/ac100/ldk/bootloader/nvflash
fastboot=~/ac100/ldk/bootloader/harmony/fastboot.bin
 
 
mkdir work
cd work
$nvflash --bl $fastboot --sync || exit 1
echo -n "Making a backup .."
for i in $(seq 2 6)
do
    $nvflash -r -q --read $i part$i.img || exit 1
done
echo " Done"
 
read -p "Press [Enter] key when device rebooted to new recovery mode ..."
echo -n "Creating new layout .."
dd if=part2.img bs=1 count=4080 of=original.bct
ln -s $fastboot bootloader.bin
$nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --bct original.bct --setbct --configfile ../part.cfg --create --verifypart -1 --go|| exit 1
echo " Done"
 
read -p "Press [Enter] key when device rebooted to new recovery mode ..."
echo "Restoring backup .."
$nvflash --bl $fastboot --sync || exit 1
$nvflash -r -q --rawdevicewrite 0 1536 part2.img
$nvflash -r -q --rawdevicewrite 1792 1024 part4.img
$nvflash -r -q --download 5 part5.img
$nvflash -r -q --download 6 part6.img
echo " Done"

You should power on you device in recovery mode and connect it to the computer via USB.
Edit repartition.sh to fix pathes for nvflash and fastboot.bin
and run repartition.sh
While repartion you also need to reboot ac100 in recovery mode twice (script will ask you for it).

You could return default layout back using this file: default.cfg
