I have to say I little bit dislike that kind of own headers. There is no 
way to read firmware version from binary itself (very often there is)? 
Whats is benefit of telling how many blocks there is? Isn't it possible 
to detect somehow by examining firmware image itself runtime?

Anyhow, you are the author of that driver and even I don't personally 
like those, I think it is up to your decision as a author.

Antti

I thought a bit about the need for the header.
And yes, some fields I can get rid of.

firmware version:
I guess that the exact version number is not really needed - it is just
written to a seperate register - and later only read to check if
firmware was already downloaded (but for documentation it might be
interesting). I have no clue where it could be in the raw block - it
looks like it is writing to just some memory addresses.

But for the pure process it would also work to write a random number !=
0x00.

For $BLOCKS_MAIN:
The firmware is downloaded like this:
* write 1 block
* reset crc logic
* write $BLOCKS_MAIN
* read out crc and compare against $CRC in header
* write last 5 blocks

so the number of blocks in $BLOCKS_MAIN could be checked by iterating
over all blocks counting them and then substracting 6.

The crc value:
It protects the content of the file until it is in the demod - so
calculating it on my own would only check if the data is correctly
transferred from the driver into the chip.
But for this I needed to know the algorithm and which data is
checksummed exactly.

Are the different algorithms for CRC values that give 16 bit of output?

You could try jacksum[1] and see if any algorithm it supports
gives you the expected result, there is a handful of 16 bits ones:

  jacksum -a all -F "#ALGONAME{i} = #CHECKSUM{i}" payload.bin

Hi Antonio,

I tried jacksum on the complete firmware and on parts - but it never
matched the results from the chip.

I now found out, that the crc register changes after every 32bit write
to the data register - the fw control registers do not affect it.

So I can try what crc results from writing 32bit portions of data.
But even that did not help in guessing the algorithm, because I do not
want to do 100s of experiments.

some of my experiments:
crc=0x0000, data=0x00000000 -> crc=0x0000
crc=0x0000, data=0x00000001 -> crc=0x1021
crc=0x0000, data=0x00000002 -> crc=0x2042
crc=0x0000, data=0x00000004 -> crc=0x4084
crc=0x0000, data=0x00000008 -> crc=0x8108
crc=0x0000, data=0x00000010 -> crc=0x1231

Is there some systematic way to get the formula?
I can write arbitrary data and check what crc it results in.

I don't know if it is worth using the crc algorithm compared to storing
the crc with the firmware, because currently it is an end to end
verification of firmware data.

Matthias

I don't know much about crc, but the values you are getting look like
the entries in the table in lib/crc-itu-t.c so maybe compare the crc
you are getting with the ones calculated with crc_itu_t() from
include/linux/crc-itu-t.h

I just did a quick test with jacksum, the crc-itu-t parameters can
be expressed like this:

	jacksum -x -a crc:16,1021,0,false,false,0 -q 00000010

and the output is the expected 0x1231 for the 0x00000010 sequence.

maybe crc = crc + crc(val)

It worked to apply crc_itu_t to the written data in 32bit blocks,
but starting with the last byte:

			crc = crc_itu_t_byte(crc, *(data+offset+3));
			crc = crc_itu_t_byte(crc, *(data+offset+2));
			crc = crc_itu_t_byte(crc, *(data+offset+1));
			crc = crc_itu_t_byte(crc, *(data+offset+0));

It would also have worked without knowing the crc because it is only
actively read and compared in the driver - but better to know if upload
did work.

Now I am still not sure if it is worth to change the firmware file to
now have the crc explicitly.
Counting blocks is also easy todo.
But the firmware version is not inside the data I think.

So there will still remain something to be added to the raw data.

Do you need to know whole firmware version? How did you obtain it, from 
sniff? What happens if you don't tell fw version to chip at all?

Usually, almost 100%, firmware version as well all the other needed 
information, is included to firmware image itself. I don't remember many 
cases where special handling is needed. One (only one?) of such case is 
af9013, where I resolved issues by calculating fw checksum by the 
driver. IIRC chip didn't boot if there was wrong checksum for fw.

Own headers and checksums causes troubles if I someone would like to 
extract different firmwares from various windows binaries to test.

If windows driver needs to know that kind of things, those are usually 
found very near firmware image from the driver binary. Most often just 
dump 32 bytes after firmware image and it is somewhere there. Or before 
firmware image. That is because those are values are stored to same 
source code file => compiler puts that stuff ~same location.

static const unsigned char firmware[] = {
   0x00,0x11,0x22,0x33,0x44,0x55,0x66,0x77,
   0x88,0x99,0xaa,0xbb,0xcc,0xdd,0xee,0xff,
};

static const unsigned int firmware_checksum = 0x01234567;
static const unsigned int firmware_version = 0x0000002b;

Yes - but it also is visible in code near crc version (see below).

In other places it is read to verify a fw was uploaded (compare to be
not equal 0x00).
I guess the exact value is never needed (so just for information).
But I did not try it.

The checksum is not needed to get the device working.
The chip itself only calculates it when uploading data - and the driver
reads out the calculated checksum and compares it to the expected value.
It is only a verification of the correct upload.

I had a look at the driver - the code itself has the constants compiled
in - they are really mixed with the assembly code.

Rewritten in C it is code that has fixed values as parameters to functions.

ret = load_firmware(firmware,
  0x12, /* patch version */
  48, /* block count */
  0xaa0c /* crc */
);

I also would prefer your version with static const variables near the data.

All-in-all, did I understand correctly none of those header values are 
not required anymore?

hdr[0] own FW version. used by driver to print our own FW file version
hdr[1] --''--
hdr[2] vendor FW version. programmed to chip register but chip does not 
need it. read back in order to detect if FW is loaded or not
hdr[3] padding. not used
hdr[4] number of FW blocks. driver could calculate it.
hdr[5] padding. not used
hdr[6] crc. not mandatory & driver could calculate it. not 100% FW 
related, chip uses it for every write. verify xfer errors
hdr[7] --''--

regards
Antti
