This was a really old project that I did (and abandoned) 3 years ago. Some day I should write about it. There are a lot of interesting things.

Lo que nunca me imagine es que llegaríamos al punto en donde SOLO te permitan imágenes de genIA. No BBVA, quiero poner una imagen chorra o una comm, no un AI slop generico.

Just filed an EU DMA complaint against Alphabet for gatekeeping against secure Android derivatives like @grapheneos.org via Play Integrity. TL;DR: not certified ≠ not secure. Google lacks a FRAND certification process for non-OEMs that comply with objective security requirements.

En su camino par eliminar la democracia, Trump quiere enturbiar el voto de noviembre para ganar, o rechazar los resultados si pierde. Un nuevo paso: una ley que dificulta el voto a las mujeres ya que su nombre de casadas no coincide con nombre nativo (!!!)

La Cámara de Representantes de EE UU aprueba una ley electoral que exige prueba de ciudadanía para votar

La ‘SAVE America Act’ además dificulta el voto a millones de mujeres que adoptaron el apellido de su esposo porque no coincide con el de su certificado de nacimiento

Random infodump: The BYD Dolphing surf (seagull) uses Zongmu parking & 360° Surround-view and SenseAuto Cabin driver monitoring system. The main tablet (which is Android based) run both of these systems. It is also running the cluster, which it is a native qt5 executable.

I know things like postmaeketos exists but the amount of effort to just support a little portion of devices produced that in 4 years nobody gonna remember seems frustrating at least.

fwrret @firmware.blog · 16/10/2025

I'm the only one worried about the ewaste we are gonna produce? I dunno I wish there were a lot less models and they all had an amazing community behind doing crazy hacks and mods, and when they are EOL, they or their parts can be reused.

fwrret @firmware.blog · 16/10/2025

The phone industry release cycle is crazy. Like every year only the SoCs producer releases like 100 new, I cannot imagine how many phones models are released. with so many ones, that are also more complex and integrate and no technical info avalible, reusing or recycling them seems impossible.

Today, just by causality, I found that the devices reports the manufacturer to be "Shenzhen Lunci Technology Co., Ltd", that is the same as the microcontroller. And while it is obvious, I never looked at the manufacturer webpage (www.lenzetech.com), they clearly sold their MCU for this application.

the youtube vs yt-dlp arms race is hilarious, because of how lopsided it is. on the one hand, you've got a company with the GDP of Denmark who has about a manhattan-project's worth of developers they can assign to this. but on the other end, you've got every bored or annoyed javascript hacker.

Look I don't dislike LLMs but there is a little reflection I always do. Watching Fieren there was a conversation I really like where they said humans develop language to communicate, demons develop language to hunt For what purpose we are developing language on LLM? To please use? To convince us?

This is the Mainboard task btw, I forgot to mention it 😭

fwrret @firmware.blog · 03/07/2025

This is what I have done so far, I don't think there is nothing more interesting here as the rest of the magic happens on the other MCU and analyzing how all the data is passed is very painful. I'm very tempted to you know, replace some boot and assets images, but this thing cost +400€.

fwrret @firmware.blog · 03/07/2025

Why we should use tasks if we have a counters and switch cases? Really, see this shit. The different cases do different subtasks. What I have identified so far is one for the TPMS stuff, another for updating all the global attrs, one for the LCD and another for comm with the other MCU.

fwrret @firmware.blog · 03/07/2025

There are a lot of task running normally, most of them are from the different sdks and libs. Where all "the magic" happens is in the Mainboard task.

fwrret @firmware.blog · 03/07/2025

The software stack is an FreeRTOS plus + awtk (GUI) + FSC-Blueware (BT) + EC-SDK (screen mirror). The "architecture" is basically the awtk GUI obtains the all the information that it needs from a list of "global attributes" or communicating directly to the BT and EC sdk.

100

fwrret @firmware.blog · 03/07/2025

And of course for the BT and WIFI it uses the Feasycomm FSC-BW121 (it uses the RTL8821CS). Fun fact, I was unable to find the fcc id and the MAC address of both BTs (le and normal) and Wi-Fi are fake/not registered! (34:FA:4A C0:FA:4A 34:C6:4A).

These last two components communicates to the MCU via SOFTWARE SPI. Crazy. Maybe they cannot use the main spi bus of the MCU because it was already used for the MMC?.

100

fwrret @firmware.blog · 03/07/2025

So the main MCU is the Amt630hV100. There is little to nothing online about it. I found something on CSDN, but I was not able to download it. Besides the LCD, it seems that to this mcu is connected an MMC mem for the fw, an CMT2300A (for TPMS?) and another mcu that communicates to the rest of the 🏍️

The image is 8mb long and contains the application code, the boot animation (BANI) and the "ROMA" which are the resources files. There is not a fancy FS like littleFS, there is basically a superblock the contains the file path, address and length. Boot anim are concatenated jpg images.
