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

[reverend]

Oh I like the sound of that mate - looking at that name I'm guessing it's a 5000 series then? With wifi in there and Linux or busy box alongside an ssh daemon you could do some right tricks

 

[Mtz]

Yes it is from A7LS75 SJCam SJ5000+ and the wireless configuration file is on our forum. Maybe it can help.

enjoy,
Mtz

I've just had a skim and it looks like it supports station mode so it should work as a client to a normal home wifi network

I think the latest version link is dead. Could you replace the link please.

 

[Tobi@s]

I removed the old files since these versions contained a bug regarding the rom partition. I think I should update the OP
This is the latest (test) version:
http://dc.p-mc.eu/a7tool/AFT10test.jar

Just ignore the update message on startup

Hello.
And where now strings.dat -?

 

[Tobi@s]

Hi, the import/export works a little bit different. It Exports/imports the row you have your active cell in.
It will be in the rfs folder and is called language[id].lang

 

[vvs49]

It will be in the rfs folder and is called language[id].lang

Yes, but there is not all the information.
No second language.
Here strings.dat, but language0.lang
snippet:

 

[Tobi@s]

The .dat file comes from the old strings.bin editor. It's not used anymore. The application keeps the language data in memory.
The export/import is used to modify a single language (column) with an external editor and import it afterwards. Therefore the exported file only contains strings from one column.

 

[vvs49]

Therefore the exported file only contains strings from one column.

It would be nice right in Excel

Tobi@s!!!
Firmware from FLEXMEDIA VOSONIC V747W strings.bin no, no way to see the structure?

 

[Tobi@s]

Please send me a sample firmware

 

[z768]

Tobi@s, strings.bin is in pri-section.
On what parameters it out again, I do not understand.

 

[Tobi@s]

I see. Integration into PRI is bad :/
You wouldn't have the comfort of dynamic string length if you'd edit it directly in pri section.

 

[vvs49]

Please send me a sample firmware

Rename 18_V747W.bin in V747W.bin
18 - bitrate.

Hi Tobi@s.
Firmware you cut into pieces, and then modify and collect firmware.
The chip A2s have the opportunity to individually update each section.
How to prepare a modified section I can tell.
Check out this way on other chips.

AFT 1.2test release
Still a test release, means none of the few weeks ago announced features are included.

Changelog:
- Firmware disassembler algorithm rewritten, now allows more partitions like LNX, LNXFS and "unknown"

-Bitrate Editor rewritten, added user selection for detection pattern (to support more firmwares), also added custom input for table offset and length

-Added detection for donation status: You can create a new file in the AFT.jar directory, called "donated.aft" with your paypal or contact email address as content. But: I don't plan to add features that are only available to guys which donated. Don't worry. I'm not sure how I'm going to use it at the moment. Maybe for early access? No idea.
-Bug fixes and things I don't remember. Most of them were discovered/suggested by @Mtz - Thanks! =)

Toby @ S that tells about my firmware?

 

[Tobi@s]

Any ideas on how to improve user experience in AE table editor? Looks a bit complicated imo.
