Video AR Fix v2 for everyone!

[erdem_ua]

I am trying to implement automatic VideoAR Fix v2 patcher, as its version 1 that available at python Firmware Patcher Script. I don't want to use KEIL Arm tools because it's really hard to get those.
Current SamyGO Firmware Patcher Script can extract exeDSP and could read symbol table of that already.
Only thing that I want that updating the required sections of exeDSP, independent from exeDSP version. I mean one program fix them all approach is better.
Again there could be different code for CI+ devices. I think they use slightly different compiler options.

I investigate the exeDSP 2004.1 and v2 Patched exeDSP 2004.1, their differences...

Last chunk of codes that started at offset 0x205BAE0 is not branch outside. So it's safe to write that chunk to anywhere in the ".text" area and that is not require to change some addresses in that code. So we have 6 chunks (which 3 of them is a 1 byte change.) If we don't count those, only 3 data chunks needed to place to have this patch. This changes are as those:

So I needed to place this codes into exeDSP and needed to vary addresses that in the sections.
I think I chose the hard way, But I think it's work when it finished. If you want to help you want to implement some p?eces of

Code: Select all

def VideoARFix_v2_patch_auto( FileTarget ):

so you can help at here, or you can just give a hint

Any progress?

I am busy with PVR Application this days.

Nope. I don't work on this. I am leaving idea to change exeDSP statically. Since we could load Content library hacks via gdb attaching, automatically at startup, We do not have to inject code statically at patching time. Downside of this B550 & B6000 series. If we could load Content Library hacks to those TV's, than we don't have to touch exeDSP... But if we couldn't add content library games to B550 series, than some one needed to implement this hack to Firmware Patcher.
