This patch series is for manipulating Parrot's P6i plf firmware. We are aiming to be able to extract and repack the userland (file_actions) from the _payload.plf blobs but that is still in progress in a separate project. Once we get that working we should be able to use the extract "nice" feature and build payloads with that.

These are some initial patches for the open source project "ardrone-tools":

  • Make it work.
  • Extend hwVersion values.
  • Eraly support for building payloads.

NOTEs:

  • payload build is redundant with installer build as I didn't want to compromise installer builds yet.

From `man fread()`:

"On  success,  fread() and fwrite() return the number of items read
or written.  This number equals the number of bytes transferred only
when size is 1."

These plfs are the payload which contains the contents to flash
onto the NAND memory.

TODO: Make kernel and payload build code less redundant.

This field seems to be just a description. We are dealing with a
parrot P6i board which seems to have:

hdw_version = 12 for installer(s).plf
hdw_version = 14 for _payload.plf

Moving that description so it matches what our target expects.

This is an example configuration file to build payloads or
ARCHIVE type plf blobs.

This patch adds support for building a new payload with the
contents specified in a .ini configuration file.

File actions are read from a given directory that has the
new userland re-packed into file_action type files.

Some files could get in the wrong place if reading file_actions
alphabetically from the directory. Make sure everything follows
the order it would do if using `find .`.

Build type macros were defined but not used.
