MBoot_SEC_AA.tgz ?
VDLinux ?
in vdlinux-mstar-kernel.tar some source for stl and bml tools?

looks like for c-series (mips based) but who knows where samsung realy used it

strange things inside,

Looks like recently (?) introduced hardware platform for C-Series (MStar Titania 3 based, whatever it is exactly). With somehow limited RAM and ethernet port connected via USB bus.
I've heard of some C630 models no longer using Samsung's own chipsets..

Presumably Samsung is cutting corners again; they did the same thing with B5** line in 2009.

So for C-Series there are 3 substantially different platforms currently: T-VAL* (Valencia, SDP92/SDP94), T-TDT* (Trident HiDTV PRO-SX) and T-MSX* (MStar).
Welcome to the Samsung panel & chipset lottery . Buyers beware!

hi,

i made a quick look at c-series, mips based firmwares and have may stupid questions:

whats the deeper sense of:
shipp applications for mips2 but kernel modules for mips32r2?

file T-TDT5DEUC/lib/libc-2.5.90.so: ELF 32-bit MSB shared object, MIPS, MIPS-II version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, not stripped
file T-TDT5DEUC/lib/modules/usb-storage.ko: ELF 32-bit MSB relocatable, MIPS, MIPS32 rel2 version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

but for T-MSX5DEUC:
file T-MSX5DEUC/lib/modules/usb-storage.ko: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, MIPS, MIPS32 rel2 version 1 (SYSV), with unknown capability 0xf41 = 0x756e6700, not stripped
file T-MSX5DEUC/lib/libc-2.8.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, MIPS, MIPS32 rel2 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.12, with unknown capability 0xf41 = 0x756e6700, not stripped

and whats the capability 0xf41

EDIT: next joke?

forgot the rfs stuff

Code: Select all

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./mkrfs
Usage:
mkrfs [-s sectors-per-cluster] [-S logical-sector-size] [-F fat-size] [-p [-u uid-bits]] [-V volume size] [-E] [-P] [-N]
      [-d dirname] [-v] [-l] [-c] OUT_FILE/FLASH_BLK_DEV

        -s sectors-per-cluster
                Must be a power of 2, i.e. 1, 2, 4, ... 64.
                The default is 2
        -S logical-sector-size
                Must be a power of 2, greater than or equal to 512,
                i.e. 512, 1024, 2048, 4096
                The default is 512
        -F fat-size
                The type of file allocation table used(16, 32 bit)
                If nothing is specified, fat-size is automatically selected.
        -d dirname
                <dirname> is the root of the filesystem to be created
        -l long-file-name
                Select whether support the long file name or not.
        -c make-compaction-image
        -p enable posix attribute
                This option support the UID and GID
                -u uid bits
                        Must be enabled -p option
                        Set value of UID bits within 16bit (1 ~ 15 bit)
                        The default is 8
        -V volume size(Byte)
        -E enable extended attribute
                This option support extended attribute
                Must be enabled this option to use selinux
                Because this option use 32bit UID/GID, must be disable -p option
        -P page-size-to-align
                Each area is aligned to NAND page size
                i.e. 0(no alignment), 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384
                The default is 4096, zero means disable to the alignment
        -N check=no
                This option support check=no name check option.
        -v verbose option

but i think we need maybe some correct arguments for the programm too, for testing on tv i hope the usage of the second mdt_appdata partition is safe.

just found it strange that samsung made this and don't changed the model type.

I think you can crate virtual file device on USB and could format it with those tools. Which is more safe...

i dont't need a rfs filesystem on usb (i don't need symlinks on usb ). if i need it then for frimware image generation in openembedded.
