#rockbox log for 2013-08-07

00:04:34[7]well, IDA isn't really designed for debugging roms :)
00:13:15wodzHmm, that makes me think about stepping through rk27xx nand bootloader running in hacked skyeye :-)
00:14:27wodzI need to digg up my notes about this

00:18:00tripperone of his themes is breaking and I wanted to ask him about it
00:23:31***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:31:36 Quit wodz (Quit: Leaving)
00:32:57 Quit rdn (Remote host closed the connection)
00:42:08[7]pamaury: damn, it always ends up crashing into the data abort handler somehow if I single step the USB IRQ handler
00:43:56pamauryI think I'm slowly trying to understand how all this works
00:44:04pamaurys/trying/managing
00:44:18[7]pamaury: look like you're quicker than me then...
00:44:44[7]could you make use of remote access to a GDB'ed clip+?
00:45:03pamauryI have found more or less how the descriptors are generated, I think this will help me to figure out many things
00:45:12pamaurycurrently not
00:48:00 Join sciopat [0] (~sciop@yer91-2-82-237-54-159.fbx.proxad.net)
00:48:37pamauryI suspect everything is done with classes. For example the mass storage would be something like usb_add_interface(new ums_recover_intf_t())
00:48:37pamauryI'll send you the ida back at some point, so you can have a look if you can
00:49:18[7]pamaury: would a RAM dump of the running state be of any use?
00:50:06 Quit sciopath (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
00:50:18pamaurycurrently no, I haven't found the addresses of useful stuff. It's incredible how much bookeeping this thing done instead of actually *doing* things
00:50:53[7]absolutely
00:51:20[7]pamaury: where's IRAM/DRAM on this one?
00:51:24[7](address and size)
00:52:07pamauryiram is at 0x81000000
00:52:53pamaurydram at 0x30000000
00:53:06[7]dram is 4MB? how much is IRAM?
00:54:12pamauryI think on clip+ there 1MB of IRAM
00:54:19[7]woah
00:54:37pamauryand on the older versions, 320KB
00:55:07pamaury./configure says clip+ has 8MB of dram
00:55:54[7]ok that's gonna take a while to dump
00:56:03[7]I'll try to correlate it with the mass storage drive contents

01:01:19pamauryI haven't find any reference to the DRAM currently
01:01:43[7]so that 4MB drive might after all be flash?
01:01:55[7]wait... 4MB is exactly the size of an eMMC boot area, right?
01:02:12[7]writing was noticably slower than reading
01:04:45pamauryinteresting
01:06:15pamauryI have no idea how this thing boots and which part we flash when we write the rockbox bootloader
01:06:37[7]who has a clue about that? bertrik?
01:07:27pamauryfunman
01:07:44bertrik[7]: the rockbox bootloader is written in the main (big) flash
01:08:14[7]so I guess we have a way to get at the boot area contents from a working one's eMMC somehow?
01:08:42bertrikthe firmware uses the first 0x10000 blocks or so
01:09:19pamaurybertrik: of the user area ? or of the boot area ? does it have a boot area ?
01:09:41[7]hm..... no, the contents of the 4MB drive do NOT stick across a reboot...
01:10:31bertrikpamaury: I don't know if there's a user or boot area, I though there was just one flat internal flash memory, of which the first 32 MB or so is reserved for the OF
01:10:53[7]hm, the data on the drive doesn't read back properly AT ALL
01:11:00bertrikI seem to remember that the reserved area is about twice the size of a firmware upgrade image, perhaps an active firmware and a spare
01:11:05 Quit sciopath (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
01:11:35bertrikin our sd driver for AMS, we always skip the first 32 MB
01:11:41pamaurybertrik: do you know if the dram needs some init of some kind ?
01:12:11bertrikI don't know, but generally I guess so
01:12:43bertrikwe do some magic write IIRC in the rockbox initcode too
01:13:05bertrikwhich is interpreted by the SDRAM controller
01:13:07[7]ok, so that drive is completely fake
01:13:20[7]if I write it and read it back I just get thousands of copies of the last written sector

01:14:24bertrik[7]: oh, I thought it was consistent at least in between reboots
01:14:36bertrikor maybe that was linux caching?
01:14:54pamauryhaha, I *might* be wrong but apparently the ums interface might expose two vendor specific commands
01:14:58pamaury(control type)
01:15:00[7]straight write and read back with dd returns duplicated last sector data
01:15:07[7]without even disconnecting in between
01:15:42[7]interesting... which ones?
01:15:52pamaury0xfe and 0xff
01:16:00pamaurythat's just a wild at this point
01:16:05[7]that looks like standard USB mass storage stuff
01:16:07bertrikaren't those the microsoft extensions to UMS?
01:16:10[7]get max lun and mass storage reset
01:16:14bertrikoh
01:17:01[7]technically those aren't vendor specific ones but standard ones, addressed at the mass storage interface instead of the device
01:17:04pamauryand I didn't remember these were 0xff and 0xfe control transfers, so that's good :)
01:17:23[7]so you've already located the place where these things are hooked?
01:19:11pamaurymore or less, you won't believe me...
01:19:42*[7] tends to believe absolutely everything given what kind of mess this is
01:20:57pamaurycurrently I have only located the hooks for controls, apparently each "config" (could be device or interface) has a list of "handlers", each "handler" specify the command it handles and the function to call
01:21:19saratoga[7]: the 4MB drive is completely fake
01:21:20[7]kinda reminds me of that IRQ hook list
01:21:52saratogatheres another mode where you get a full 32 MB drive that corresponds to the NAND first 32 MB blocks
01:22:30pamaury[7]: I can give you the adresses but these are mostly useless, control transfers aren't useful
01:22:34saratogano one knows what the purpose of the 4MB drive is, but usually it means the device is broken somehow
01:22:37pamaurywe need to locate the bulk ones
01:22:52saratogathe 32MB one will mount if you short out the NAND pins during power up, once you unshort them it is writeable
01:23:35 Quit sciopath (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
01:23:56[7]saratoga: hm, this is a NAND or eMMC device? I'm puzzled.
01:24:08saratogaits actually a NAND connected to a sandisk made SD controller
01:24:13saratogasoftware wise it looks like SD
01:24:36[7]so you actually mean the first 32MB of that SD card?
01:24:36bertrik"many clips died to bring us this information"
01:24:38saratogawe actually use the same driver for both the internal and external SD cards
01:24:58saratogayeah its the first 32 MB worth of blocks on the internal SD
01:25:08pamauryoh, so the ams chips does the FTL ?
01:25:12bertrikyes
01:25:19saratogai think its a sandisk chip
01:25:23pamaurylol, that's interesting
01:25:42pamaurythis chip is really amazing, everything you would expect is just not true here
01:25:43bertrikthat made things so much easier with AMS
01:26:07 Quit zu_ (Read error: Operation timed out)
01:26:12[7]saratoga: in case you didn't follow the discussion, I've JTAGed a donated dead clip and we're now looking into what that 4MB drive actually is and if it allows non-jtag recovery of some kind
01:26:25saratogamy theory about the 4MB drive is that when Sandisk customized the AS3525, parts of the original ROM were left in place but not necessarily working, hence when the device is bricked you can end up in the original ROM and get that 4MB drive (or the working 32 MB drive)
01:26:48saratoga[7]: just caught up, I saw the JTAG, but thought you were looking at the internal ROM on the device?
01:27:10[7]we're disassembling the internal ROM to figure out what that 4MB thing is
01:27:13pamaurythere is only one ROM on that thing, right ?
01:28:01saratogayeah, its built into the AMS chip
01:28:04saratoga128KB IIRC
01:28:17[7]yes
01:28:22pamauryyes that's it
01:28:36[7]saratoga: so you say you can't reach this 4MB drive state by just overwriting the first 32MB?
01:29:26saratoga[7]: i think you end up with the 4MB state if the internal memory is corrupted badly enough
01:29:34[7]ok
01:29:43saratogathe 32MB state seems to happen if the NAND itself fails to talk to the controller during boot
01:29:57saratogaso i think a software problem means the 4MB one, and a hardware problem the 32 MB
01:30:03saratogaat least thats what people in the forums report
01:30:04 Join zu [0] (~zu@ks387228.kimsufi.com)
01:30:08[7]I wonder if I should try booting the OF on this dead one
01:30:10bertriksaratoga: or perhaps if some checksum fails
01:30:13[7]just to see if it works
01:30:30saratogapeople have bricked their players flashing a bad firmware and got the 4MB ROM, then shorted the NAND chip and got the 32MB, then copied over a good firmware and recovered a working player
01:30:39saratogayes a checksum would make sense
01:31:06saratoga"4MB ROM" => "4MB disk" (no idea if its actually a ROM or even anything at all)
01:31:12saratogaanyway, have to step out for a minute
01:31:18saratogawill check back

02:05:49[7]hm, the instructions on http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SansaAMSJTAG fail
02:06:12[7]one reason for that is that they expect code to be execuring from RAM, however in my case ROM is still mapped to address 0

02:09:48pamaury[7]: there is a register to change the memory map iirc
02:09:58[7]yes but that didn't help either
02:09:59funmanwhat are you guys doing?
02:10:07[7]i.e. remapping worked, but it didn't boot regardless
02:10:20[7]funman: trying to figure out what's the matter with that AMS 4MB mode
02:10:42funmani could never make any sense of it
02:10:42[7]I have JTAG'ed a 4MB mode clip+ that someone donated
02:10:55[7]so we can finally have a peek into the inside of it :)
02:11:07funmannice :)
02:11:34funmandid you find SDRAM init code?
02:11:57funmanfirmware/target/arm/memory-init.S
02:12:10[7]it looks like the bootrom doesn't use SDRAM, which was kinda to be expected
02:12:16[7]sdram address space reads as all zeros
02:12:18funmanindeed
02:12:28funmanOF is loaded in SRAM
02:13:10funmanfirmware/target/arm/as3525/memory-init.S
02:14:14pamauryI'm disassembling the bootrom currently
02:15:23[7]funman: how much IRAM does the clip+ have?
02:15:30funman[7]: what is mapped at 0?
02:15:32funman1MB
02:15:42[7]I get a data abort trying to read from 0x81039000
02:16:17[7]funman: rom is mapped to 0 in that state, but it executes from 0x80000000
02:16:30funmanoh
02:17:10funman[7]: try 0xc1039000
02:17:12[7]hm, interesting... tried a second time, didn't get a data abort

02:18:15funmanthe bootrom remaps IRAM at 0x0
02:18:53funmanhmm maybe not on clip+,
02:19:19[7]I wouldn't expect the rom to differ within an SoC series
02:19:34[7]maybe it remaps it before executing the firmware, but not before entering this recovery mode
02:20:38[7]pamaury: the pattern that I get when reading from the mass storage drive appeas in IRAM at 0xec6c0

02:30:27funmanhmm
02:30:32funmannot bad
02:31:00funmanstorage_init returns -2
02:32:02funmanthis means the 'card' (internal storage) timeouts when reading OCR
02:32:24funmanmaybe we could make a bootloader that loads from SD slot

02:33:00[7]I've now halted it in the state where it displays the ata error so that we can look at regs
02:33:16funmannot sure if regs would help
02:33:35funmanIMO you should play with SD commands
02:33:54funmanbootloader.bin is created when building clip+ bootloader btw, no special command
02:33:55[7]well access to SD controller regs is playing with SD commands :)
02:34:05funmanbut controller looks ok
02:34:31funmanwe don't get errors when sending commands

02:56:33funman\o/
02:56:51funmannow the same patch should be applied to main rockbox but revised a bit to disable internal storage
02:57:41pamaurywhat does this patch do ?
02:57:53[7]I just tried, it successfully boots the main binary from the microsd card
02:57:56funmansend commands to uSD controller
02:58:11funman[7]: hmm can you browse?
02:58:21[7]no, it dies with ata error -2 again
02:58:28funmanoh of course
02:58:38funmanlet me build main binary with that same patch
02:58:53pamauryhum, but does the main binary knows how to talk to the uSB already ?
02:58:58[7]anyway, looks like we're dealing with a screwed up FTL here
02:59:08funmanpamaury: sure
02:59:12funmanuSD slots always worked
02:59:20[7]I wonder how that controller chip behaves if the nand isn't accessible, it probably recreates all internal structures as it becomes accessible again?
02:59:30pamauryah ok,
02:59:32funmanhttp://37.187.19.138/~fun/rockbox.zip
03:00
03:00:01pamaurymaybe the controller has some magic commands
03:00:50funmanhttp://pastie.org/8213583 : http://37.187.19.138/~fun/rockbox.zip
03:04:34[7]OK, I can browse files now
03:04:39[7]quite interesting
03:04:48funmanplay some mp3!!!
03:04:49[7]this is mounted as both internal and external storage now :)
03:04:54funman:)
03:05:07funmanmy patch might need some work
03:05:12funmandid you take first or 2nd version ?
03:05:19[7]the second one, didn't try the first
03:05:29funmani thought that one would only mount once
03:05:55[7]well the file browser displays .rockbox and <microSD1> containin another .rockbox
03:06:06[7]could possibly be just aliased and not actually mounted twice of course
03:06:38[7]anyway, we know who's the culprit on this particular device. now how do we fix it? :)
03:07:05funman0 clue
03:07:21funmanyou could try to solder some wires directly to the NAND
03:07:52[7]I'm less concerned about this particular device than about finding a general, real solution for this kind of problem
03:08:15[7]which would mean 2 things: a way to boot through that 4MB drive, and a way to tell that SD controller chip to reinitialize the NAND
03:08:43[7]could possibly that this one is just bricked even worse than some others... IIRC it failed to respond to the "unbrick pin" trick
03:08:45funmani'd guess NAND is just broken at that point
03:08:47pamauryI can do the first one, but for the second it's unlikely the bootrom help in any way
03:09:16[7]I should probably double check if I can unbrick this one the other way
03:13:03funmancan you put a breakpoint in JTAG when the bootrom initializes the internal storage?
03:13:33[7]I can, if you tell me where that is :)
03:13:45funmanif you send me your boot rom i will
03:13:54[7]I could also try setting up a memory access breakpoint

03:15:20[7]that's the rom from that particular device
03:15:56[7]funman: theseven.bounceme.net/~theseven/tmp/bootrom.idb">http://theseven.bounceme.net/~theseven/tmp/bootrom.idb is the ida database
03:16:12[7]but pamaury has already worked on improving that, so you might be more interested in his one
03:16:33funman"Please use newer version of IDA"
03:16:54[7]that's an ida 5.5 database
03:17:01[7]my ida was complaining that it's too old :)

06:01:10[Saint]You awesome bastards.
06:01:22[Saint]The scrollback was a highly interesting read.
06:15:03saratogathe AS3525 datasheet does mention a USB firmware update mode if the main storage can't be read
06:16:13[Saint]so, if I read correctly - assuming the hardware is good, we can now breath some life back into these bricked devices?
06:16:22saratogano idea
06:16:36saratogaperhaps that is the USB people see when the NAND is shorted
06:17:35[Saint]well, from what I read, that magnificent bastard managed to get a Clip booting from the sdcard from the "4MB" state.
06:17:54saratogayeah but with JTAG
06:18:01saratogaso unless you're going to do a lot of difficult soldering
06:18:11saratogaa better solution would be nice

07:47:19[Saint]for the really fine stuff, I use a heat torch.

08:07:44WeDOShiya!
08:08:38WeDOSanyone alive?
08:09:04WeDOSi was wondering can i put my iPod Classic 160GB into diagnostics mode somehow? i'm using freemyipod to boot Rockbox.
08:09:16WeDOSi have bad blocks on the harddisk :/
08:09:27WeDOShttp://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
08:09:42WeDOSi was wondering about something like that... after freemyipod i can't use "normal" firmware.
08:09:59WeDOSbut can i use Linux or Windows to format the drive and do read/write test to map the bad blocks?
08:10:07[Saint]No, you can not.
08:10:15[Saint]re: diagmode.
08:10:31[Saint]You can certainly use a host OS to do so, though.
08:11:01WeDOSok
08:11:14WeDOSLinux has atleast command called bad blocks
08:11:27WeDOSis it possible (easy?) to exchange iPod Classic HD?
08:11:38WeDOSi just love the hardware with Rockbox
08:11:42[Saint]Possible? Yes. Easy? No.
08:12:12[Saint]It is rather non-trivial to disassemble the Classics.
08:12:13WeDOSi wonder what Apple seller would say if i would return it to repairs?
08:12:36WeDOSwhat do you mean?
08:12:38[Saint]This is the 6G "fat" one, yes?
08:12:43WeDOSyeah
08:13:16[Saint]Yeah, those are known to crap their discs out I believe.
08:13:19WeDOSi was also wondering that if i'll buy a new MP3 player are there any recommendations for durable MP3 player i can use Rockbox with?
08:13:30WeDOS[Saint]: i've also understood so...
08:13:43[Saint]Regarding what I mean, it isn't particularly easy to disassemble the Classic series.
08:13:48WeDOSok...
08:14:02WeDOSi wonder what new drives cost and what kinda drives they are?
08:14:09[Saint]The older (non-Nano/Touch) iPods are very easy to service.
08:14:12WeDOSmaybe i just better buy a new player
08:14:15[Saint]The Classics, not so much.
08:14:20[Saint]But its still possible.
08:14:28WeDOS[Saint]: everything is possible :)
08:14:36[Saint]ifixit has very nice teardown instructions.
08:14:47WeDOSany recommendations for a new MP3 player?
08:15:06[Saint]Depends on your requirements.
08:15:12WeDOSlargeish HD
08:15:17[Saint]I happen to think the player you have is one of the best on offer.
08:15:24WeDOS32GB would probably be enough
08:15:27[Saint]I also have several.
08:15:32[Saint]They're great.
08:16:11[Saint]If 32GB is enough, you might want to look at the Clip+/Clip Zip or possible Fuse+
08:16:25[Saint]*possibly
08:16:46[Saint]But, personally, I'd rather keep the Classic. :)
08:16:57[Saint]Put an mSATA SSD in there. :)
08:18:38[Saint]I have one with a 64GB SSD, and the (rather large at 850mAh) battery in the "fat" Classic lasts forever.
08:19:04[Saint]I'd like to put a larger disc in, but, cost.
08:19:43[Saint](even though I could get at least double the capacity now for what I payed for it then...)
08:21:30WeDOShow much is 64GB SSD disc about?
08:21:44WeDOSlargeish HD
08:22:04WeDOSdunno if Clip+/Clip Zip or Fuse are available in Finland
08:23:13copper[Saint]: why did you assume he has the "fat" iPod?
08:23:14[Saint]I payed around $300NZD at the time, a long while ago, they're less than half that now.
08:23:28copperthe fat one is the older one
08:23:30[Saint]copper: 160Gb and disc trouble. :)

08:23:42copperI have 160GB and it's the thin one
08:24:09[Saint]160GB+disc issues==fat Classic is a pretty good guess.
08:24:18copperokay
08:28:37WeDOSok..
08:28:51WeDOSbut how do i reformat the player with badblock mapping enabled?
08:28:57WeDOSmkfs.vfat on linux?
08:29:00copperWeDOS: I'm very happy with my Fuze+ and a fast 64GB microsdxc card
08:29:09WeDOSthere's also program called badblocks

08:48:20WeDOSand mount it normally or in some DFU mode or sumthing?
08:48:56[Saint]DFU mode won't help here, no.
08:49:43WeDOSok
08:49:49WeDOSso just normal Rockbox mode
08:49:59WeDOSiPod is seen in Linux as mass storage
08:50:11WeDOSi'll check if mkfs.vfat has badblock scan ability
08:50:27WeDOSnot that familiar with little weirder commandline options
08:52:43WeDOShttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Badblocks
08:52:44WeDOShas some info
08:53:04[Saint]badblocks -b block_size -o output_file /path/to/device && mkfs.vfat -l output_file_from_badblocks /path/to/device
08:53:09[Saint]should suffice.
08:54:15[Saint]though I believe you can do "mkfs.vfat -c" to do essentially the same thing.
08:54:15WeDOSFor comfortably passing badblocks error output to the filesystem it has to be written to a file.
08:54:18WeDOS# badblocks -wsv -o /root/<badblocks.txt> /dev/<device>
08:56:19[Saint]you do NOT want -w

12:38:53pamaurywodz: usb_drv_configure_endpoints is probably a leftover from rockbox
12:39:25pamauryTheSeven: I found all the callbacks for scsi transfers in the bootrom
12:39:39pamaurymaybe the format_unit could help
12:39:55TheSevendid you find the REAL callbacks or just these wrappers of wrappers of wrappers?
12:41:02TheSeventhere's this weird function at 80C8 which seems to somehow defer a SCSI command, but I haven't figured out where this actually ends up yet
12:41:32pamauryDon't know yet, we'll see
12:42:50pamaurydid you last my last comment after you left ?
12:42:53pamaury*see
12:43:01TheSevenI have a feeling that 9734 might be the one who picks up these deferred commands, but it does so many indirect calls that I couldn't really figure out
12:43:40TheSevenyes, I saw that
12:43:52TheSevenI'm wondering why these handlers are being registered in a different place though
12:44:43pamauryoh, the callback stack of the read_10 handler only has 4 functions I don't know about ^^ could be worse
12:44:53funmanTheSeven: btw could you write data on the usb interface of this 4MB mode, and try to find where it landed in RAM?
12:44:57pamauryI have no idea what are the parameters though
12:44:57funmanor IRAM
12:45:10TheSevenhm, they're registered not too far apart actually...
12:46:56pamauryTheSeven: you can have a look, at 0x8000B290 that's the READ(10) handler
12:48:37wodzpamaury: what about descriptor read/64, error -110, where to start looking?
12:49:13TheSevenwodz: I'm spotting some data that I wrote at 0x810ec8be
12:49:34pamaurywodz: broken control transfer, could be anything. I should really have a go with the usb analyser
12:49:34TheSevener, 0x810ec8c0
12:49:44wodzTheSeven: this is not message for me most probably
12:50:14TheSeven0x810ec6c0-0x810ecbbf actually
12:50:24TheSevener, funman: ^
12:51:25TheSevenwodz: your message typically means "device didn't respond at all to the very first request, kept sending NAK for several seconds"
12:51:48TheSevenso it might actually mean that your USB stack didn't receive the request in the first place
12:52:28wodzok, gonna setup backligh so I will have minimal feedback
12:52:48TheSevenpamaury: that function is just such a "defer this scsi command" thing
12:53:17TheSevenpamaury: all of those call 80c8 somewhere with the command number, which writes it at offset 0x10 in some structure
12:54:16TheSeventhey also load another handler address and store it at offset 0 in that structure/object

13:02:42pamauryTheSeven: out of curiosity could you try to reformat your unit using the sg_* tools (ie send FORMAT_UNIT) ?
13:02:54pamaurysg_format <dev> I think
13:03:39TheSevennot yet
13:03:43TheSevenlet me try
13:05:54TheSevenhm, sg_format sends an inquiry first that the device doesn't understand
13:06:22TheSeven"mode_page 1 not supported?"
13:06:30pamaurydamn, can you send a raw SCSI command ?
13:06:35TheSevenprobably
13:08:12bertrikso, the 4MB mode allows access to IRAM, right? To be useful as a debug mode, you also need something like "run from address X", could it be that the unidentified 0xD0/D1/D2 commands do that?
13:08:40pamaurysg_raw <dev> 0x4 x 0 0 y
13:08:47TheSevensudo sg_raw /dev/sdc 04 00 00 00 00 00 gets me a "SCSI status: Good" immediately
13:09:23TheSevenbertrik: so far we haven't identified a way to access a significant portion of IRAM through it. what we spotted looks more like a transfer buffer

13:14:15pamaurybelieve or not but I'm beginning to like this bootrom; I mean it's crazy to program it this way, for a rom, but it's elegant and consistent, you can see the pattern of the programmer
13:19:10TheSevenwell, IF you can spot one...
13:19:46TheSevenhow do you figure out which of those dozens of object pointers being passed around refer to the same thing?
13:21:42pamaurymethod ^^ I create tons of structures and type each one I spot a new and I slowly give meaning to them. The trick is to identify the constructors
13:24:37TheSevenbut how can you track WHICH one of those structs will be passed into a function as the "this" (r0) argument?
13:25:40pamauryfor a random function you can, you need to track everything from the constructors, that's the only way
13:25:44pamaury*you can't
13:26:35TheSevenso you have to follow the full control flow between the constructor and the function that the object is passed into. which can get even more funny if that object is stored into another object in between.

19:18:51TheSevenwell I'm trying to figure out what's up with the sd controller in the first place
19:19:46pamauryTheSeven: I'm confused by your register map in your repo, it seems that there is a shift in the device registers
19:19:59pamaurydinep1msk is after deachmsk
19:20:06pamaurybut in the doc there is a gap :-/
19:21:30TheSevenhm
19:23:15saratogaFWIW, the datasheet has a flow chart for entering USB prom mode, it depends on a GPIO, so if sandisk didn't change i guess the check for the gpio pin state might still be there
19:23:36TheSevenpamaury: my code seems to match the stm32 doc
19:24:14TheSevendeachmsk is 0x83c, dinep1msk is 0x840
19:24:49TheSeven(in the document they're called OTG_HS_DEACHINTMSK and OTG_HS_DIEPEACHMSK1)
19:25:06pamauryTheSeven: in the STM32F205xx datasheet, OTG_HS_DIEPEACHMSK1 0x844

19:39:25pamauryTheSeven: actually you are right, the descriptors might be created on every irq
19:39:42bertrikamong them is pin B4 I think, I'll look it up
19:42:36TheSevenhm, the read enable pin of the flash toggles during boot
19:42:51bertrikfrom the datasheet "The update button is located between xpa[4] and xpa[0]." where xpa is the same as GPIO port A
19:43:23bertrikbut that is from the as3525 datasheet or "AMSv1", while the clip+ is an "AMSv2"
19:45:55TheSevenbertrik: so you think that this jumper actually tells the soc to boot something else?
19:46:04TheSevenI thought it just shorted some nand pins?
19:46:27bertrikI'm not sure

23:30:53TheSevenpamaury: I'm tempted to bet that we could have squeezed the same functionality into an 8KB ROM :)
23:31:32pamauryI think so too
23:31:54pamauryinterestingly, your "scsi processing" function at CDE0 uses the same "buffer builder" as the descriptor functions
23:32:02pamauryI don't have its complete layout though
23:32:15pamauryI think this bootrom also has a notion of thread
23:32:45TheSevenlooks like that function doesn't really process it but instead just copies it into yet another buffer
23:33:02TheSevenyes, it must be multitasked
23:33:38TheSeventhis stuff isn't running in IRQ mode, and you know there is this idle loop
23:33:40pamauryI must say I'm kind of lost in the high level structures, there are list and vectors but I don't know of *what*
23:34:15pamauryand I still haven't found the actual usb driver !
23:34:20TheSeventhe "main loop" of the thread that calls the scsi processing stuff seems to be sub_800108f4
23:34:57 Quit Topy44 (Quit: ZNC - http://znc.in)
23:35:26pamaurycould be
23:35:30pamauryor could not be ^^
23:35:51TheSevenwell that's a noreturn function that this whole scsi mess returns to
23:36:14TheSevenI've also found some stuff that looks like mutexes
23:36:15pamauryactually this function is in the virtual table of some high level object
23:36:18pamaurymake sense
23:36:29pamaurydo you have the addresses of these "mutexes" ?
23:36:42TheSevenso it might actually be that the scsi commands are enqueued somewhere and then processed by another thread
23:38:00pamauryI'm trying to understand how the threading works, it uses objects *of course*
23:38:17pamauryI may have found the thread ctor
23:38:21TheSevensome mutex-ish stuff is at 4db8
23:38:24TheSeven(and its xrefs)
23:39:20pamauryarf, this is a bit too arm-technical for me, do you know what it does exactly ?
23:40:08TheSeventhe ORR 0x80 one at the top locks out IRQs and the BICEQ 0x80 one at the bottom reenables them
23:41:30TheSevenand 0b98 switches to supervisor mode (and a different stack) and back to system mode, that looks like some kind of syscall interface wrapper
23:41:42funmansaratoga: iirc unbrick works exactly the same for amsv1 and amsv
23:41:43funmansaratoga: iirc unbrick works exactly the same for amsv1 and amsv2
23:41:46pamauryI hope we won't duplicate too much work
23:42:06TheSeven4408 is executed in supervisor mode
23:42:18pamauryI have noticed that the "thread" seem to be in system mode
23:42:24TheSevenyes, that makes sense
23:42:35TheSeven"system" mode is essentially privileged usermode
23:42:36pamaurythis is insane in a bootrom :-X

23:43:19TheSevenI guess they took some RTOS kernel which they had the USB and mass storage drivers for anyway and plugged it all together
23:44:34funmanTheSeven: ams variant is not very interesting, it's just that they handle a few things (like uSD controller selection) differently between the 2 variants
23:44:36pamauryyeah, the architecture is nice actually, just not for a bootrom
23:46:26funmanTheSeven: pamaury: http://37.187.19.138/~fun/fw-clipv2.7z : my clipv2 (OF) disassembly
23:46:39funmanthere might be some identical functions already reversed in it
23:46:39pamauryfunman: is that OF or bootrom ?
23:46:53funmanpamaury: as is said, OF
23:47:33funmani spent 30 mins on clip+ bootrom yesterday and SD code didn't look identical
23:47:52funmani was disappointed because for AMSv1, bootrom and OF were mostly identical
23:48:22funmanwell, feel free to use it or not :)
23:48:50funmanplease disregard the curse words in comments ^_^
23:49:05funman"@ fuck" means the function and its subfunctions are not "interesting" iirc
23:50:30pamaurydamn, that the point where I realise the threading functions are connected to the "wtf" functions I was stuck on
23:55:46TheSeven95% sure the same RTOS base!
23:56:46pamaurydid you reverse anything about thread/mutex/queue/usb ?
23:57:42TheSevenif that was directed to me, I didn't find much interesting stuff yet
23:57:54TheSevenbut that OF IDB looks somewhat promising
