Playing with binaries from TV on Ubuntu ARM

Post by ZGod »

I recently obtained a Asus Tinker Board and installed Armbian Bionic on it. I thought it might be interesting to see what would happen if I would copy the binaries off the TV and see if they run.

I manually copied part of the directory structure off the TV with scp and ran the binaries with commands like:

Code: Select all

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=Java/lib/:Comp_LIB/:../lib/libs:../lib/:InfoLink/lib/:Runtime/lib/:Runtime/XorgLibs/ ../lib/ld-linux.so.3 ./exeAPP
Many of them seem to rely on something called Trust Zone which is supplied by the tzdrv kernel module. It appears this is some ARM CPU security feature.

Code: Select all

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=Java/lib/:Comp_LIB/:../lib/libs:../lib/:InfoLink/lib/:Runtime/lib/:Runtime/XorgLibs/ ../lib/ld-linux.so.3 ./exeAPP

Did anybody else play around with the software off the TV? Would it make sense to dd the whole /dev/mmcblk0 off the TV over SSH or would it be hard to mount the filesystem directly?

A separate idea:
Maybe it would be possible to create a USB flash disk (or image similar to SamyGO's ext4 image) with an vdfs filesystem which contains the structure below some /mtd_* directory and mount it on top of the corresponding /mtd_* directory. This would allow running with a significantly modified tree on the TV itself. I imagine someone here tried things like this already as well.
