[App] AFT 1.3.2 - Ambarella firmware editor (development paused)

a link to the original firmware can be obtained?
 
Tobi@s, btw, that's what happens when I try to open the firmware of GoPro Hero3+ (Plus) BE
d1b8df097886.jpg

The firmware here https://yadi.sk/d/WmNOqyJ3epkz5
Is this the firmware you got from there: http://gopro.com/update/HERO3_plus
The one you posted looks different and thats why AFT can't read it.
 
I see, the binary file is an output file from arm-elf-objcopy. Generated by converting elf to bin. Basically this .bin file is flashable with DirectUSB... But thats the wrong format for AFT
 
Gentlemen, I regained my DOD GSE550 and have a working firmware.
It has a file strings.bin, that's what happened.
Green noted that changing, changing their places, changed from 00 to FFno result.
Why is it so what is the reason ??
Error in AFT132.jar?
Can take a look here firmware.

Thank.

I realized unpacking means Delphi.
Packaging had gzip utility.

gzip.exe -d -N file.gz
gzip.exe -9 -n file.bin
;)
This is an example:)


I have no money to pay for the components of the programming environment.:(
Because tacked free utility for packing ...:)
 
Hi,

I am using your latest tool 1.3.2. I tried updating the boot and shutdown logo as per your instructions.

I compiled the new firmware, updated it on my Mini 0806, yet the images did not change (same as original boot logo)?

I decompiled the newly created firmware file again to double check that the boot logos had indeed changed properly and they were the images I had changed them to. Very strange.

Any ideas? I have attached my boot logo / shutdown logo.

Edit: Seems to be working now. Strange.

I fixed this bug in 1.0test if I remember correctly. I relied on a static value for Rom payload start but it's not static at all..
 
I'll try to fix it.
Reading Rom Section should be done at a different address space.
The results sent.
 
Code:
TSecHeader = record // = 0x100
    Crc32:       DWORD; // crc32
    Version:     DWORD; // version
    DateSec:     DWORD; // date
    LengthSec:   DWORD; // length
    MemAdress:   DWORD; // memory adress
    FlagSection: DWORD; // flag
    MagicConst:  DWORD; // CNS_MAGIC_CONSTANT = $A324EB90
    ZeroBytes:   array [1..57] of DWORD; // alignment bytes
  end;


TSecHeader = record // = 0x100
    Crc32:       DWORD; // crc32
    Version:     DWORD; // version
    DateSec:     DWORD; // date
    LengthSec:   DWORD; // length
    MemAdress:   DWORD; // memory adress
    FlagSection: DWORD; // flag
    MagicConst:  DWORD; // CNS_MAGIC_CONSTANT = $A324EB90
    UnknownFlag: DWORD: // ..................????? = $00000001
    ZeroBytes:   array [1..56] of DWORD; // alignment bytes
  end;

change a little algo read with the unknown flag ...
;)

Your unpacked section rom.

Hi,
I just recognized that I somehow got the bug (problem with this rom partition) back into AFT. I definitely fixed it in v1.0test but now it is bugged again :(
No idea what happened. Need to check it now.

I mixed something up.. I fixed it for G90 but not for plotters firmware. Seems like I missed his post.
The Rom partition from that firmware is indeed corrupted. Something is wrong with the alignment.

After the file names no byte alignment!
Offset's are wrong!
I fixed a partition.
Now it is read and stored properly program.
Need to be tested.
I do not have a chance to test.

Thank you I will wait.
I checked it, the difference is due to different strings.bin generation algorithms. Should work anyways.
