It is apparent that Compal's bootloader was genealogically derived from TI's original FRBL (flash-resident bootloader) built into TCS211 reference fw. The most "basic" or "pristine" version of Compal's bootloader is the one analyzed in c123-boot.disasm, aided by symbolic information from R87.2.1.03.map; here we shall analyze the diffs between this code and the original TCS211 version in the ../../leo-obj/bootloader directory. 0x830: serial.obj .const section Exact match to TCS211-20070608! 0x86c: bootloader.obj .text section The only diffs from TCS211 are: 1) The addition of these instructions (right at _INT_Bootloader_Start) to set VCLKOUT_DIV2 bit in the FFFF:FD02 register: 89c: e51f1020 ldr r1, =0xfffffd00 ; via 0x884 8a0: e1d120b2 ldrh r2, [r1, #2] 8a4: e51f002c ldr r0, =0x40 ; via 0x880 8a8: e1800002 orr r0, r0, r2 8ac: e1c100b2 strh r0, [r1, #2] 2) The addition of 32-bit word 0x40 to the literal at the beginning of this .text section, before _INT_Bootloader_Start entry point. 0x968: start.obj .text section Static function 0 (0x0 in reference object, 0x968 in Compal's bl) matches exactly. Static function 1 (0x2c in reference object, 0x994 in Compal's bl) matches exactly. Static function 2 (0xe0 in reference object, 0xa48 in Compal's bl) matches exactly. Final function sta_select_application(): * The beginning of the function is the same between TI and Compal versions: - call to static function 0 (hw init) - call to ser_initialize_serial_link() - call to con_initialize_conversion() * The remainder of the function differs fundamentally: - TI's version calls cmd_check_application_in_flash(), followed by static functions 1 and 2 that implement FRBL1 interrupt-boot window provision. - Compal's version calls their heavily modified version of fluid_bootloader(), which is where Compal's serial boot entry protocol is implemented, followed by FTM_Tool_check() where the "ftmtool - (yes) - (modem)error" business happens. 0xb10: boot.obj .text section The dead code preamble before fluid_bootloader() function (5 32-bit ARM instructions) is the same between TI and Compal versions. The body of fluid_bootloader() is completely different, leaving only the now- misleading function name: all FRBL2 code has been ripped out, replaced with Compal's serial boot entry protocol. The following functions from TI's original boot.c survive in Compal's version: jump() putchar() getchar() hardware_init() -- already a mostly-do-nothing in TCS211 uart_init() The following functions in this module are entirely new in Compal's version: SeekMsg() FTM_Tool_check() getchar_timeout() UartTimeout() -- unused! CheckFTMtoolMode() putchar__() -- unused! getchar__() -- unused! 0xfb4: branch_in_RAM.obj .text section Exact match to TCS211-20070608, but then it's a trivial assembly module. 0xfb8: command.obj .text section Exact match to TCS211-20070608! 0x13d0: convert.obj .text section Exact match to TCS211-20070608, including the call to fluid_bootloader() in con_get_command_from_string() which is now a complete bogon. 0x1594: optboot.obj .text section Exact match to TCS211-20070608, except for one byte change in the ID returned by opt_get_monitor_id(). 0x165c: serial.obj .text section Exact match to TCS211-20070608! 0x1cec: cmdboot.obj .text section Exact match to TCS211-20070608! 0x1dd8: start.obj .text:v$3 section Exact match to TCS211-20070608!
