Tools to help hacking Allwinner A10 (aka sun4i) based devices and possibly
it's successors, that's why the 'x' in the package name.
<pre>
sunxi-fexc:
`.fex` file (de)compiler
### sunxi-fexc
`.fex` file (de)compiler
Usage: ./sunxi-fexc [-vq] [-I &lt;infmt>] [-O &lt;outfmt>] [&lt;input> [&lt;output>]]
Usage: ./sunxi-fexc [-vq] [-I <infmt>] [-O <outfmt>] [<input> [<output>]]
infmt: fex, bin (default:fex)
outfmt: fex, bin (default:bin)
bin2fex:
compatibility shortcut to call `sunxi-fexc` to decompile a script.bin
blob back into `.fex` format used by allwinner's SDK to configure
the boards.
### bin2fex
compatibility shortcut to call `sunxi-fexc` to decompile a _script.bin_
blob back into `.fex` format used by Allwinner's SDK to configure
the boards.
fex2bin:
compatiblity shortcut to call `sunxi-fexc` to compile a `.fex` file
into the binary form used by the sun4i kernel.
### fex2bin
compatiblity shortcut to call `sunxi-fexc` to compile a `.fex` file
into the binary form used by the legacy 3.4 kernel ("linux&#8209;sunxi").
sunxi-fel:
script interface for talking to the FEL USB handler built in to
th CPU. You activate FEL mode by pushing the usboot/recovery
button at poweron. See http://linux-sunxi.org/FEL/USBBoot for
a detailed usage guide.
### sunxi-fel
script interface for talking to the FEL USB handler built in to
the CPU. You activate [FEL mode] by pushing the _uboot_ / _recovery_
button at poweron. See http://linux-sunxi.org/FEL/USBBoot for
a detailed usage guide.
fel-gpio:
Simple wrapper around fel-pio and fel to allos GPIO manipulations
via FEL
### fel-gpio
Simple wrapper (script) around `fel-pio` and `sunxi-fel`
to allow GPIO manipulations via FEL
fel-sdboot:
ARM native sdcard bootloader forcing the device into FEL mode
### fel-sdboot
ARM native sdcard bootloader forcing the device into FEL mode
fel-pio:
ARM native helper for fel-gpio
### fel-pio
ARM native helper (binary) for `fel-gpio`
sunxi-pio:
Manipulate PIO register dumps
### sunxi-pio
Manipulate PIO register dumps
sunxi-nand-part:
Tool for manipulating Allwinner NAND partition tables
### sunxi-nand-part
Tool for manipulating Allwinner NAND partition tables
jtag-loop.sunxi:
ARM native boot helper to force the SD port into JTAG
and then stop, to ease debugging of bootloaders.
### jtag-loop.sunxi
ARM native boot helper to force the SD port into JTAG and then stop,
to ease debugging of bootloaders.
### sunxi-bootinfo
Dump information from Allwinner boot files (_boot0_ / _boot1_)
sunxi-bootinfo:
Dump information from Allwinner boot files (boot0/boot1)
--type=sd include SD boot info
--type=nand include NAND boot info (not implemented)
phoenix_info:
gives information about a phoenix image created by the
phoenixcard utility and optionally extracts the embedded boot
code & firmware file from their hidden partitions.
### phoenix_info
gives information about a phoenix image created by the
phoenixcard utility and optionally extracts the embedded boot
code & firmware file from their hidden partitions.
### sunxi-meminfo
Tool for reading DRAM settings from registers. Compiled as a
static binary for use on android and other OSes.
To build this, get a toolchain and run:
