+ Many technical people differentiate
+ Feature Phone: Single-CPU phone
+ Single CPU + Single OS for GSM + UI
+ Smartphone: Dual-CPU phone
+ First CPU core for the actual network protocol
+ Second CPU for the UI + Applications

+ JTAG is a very useful interface
+ boundary scan (EXTEST + INTEST)
+ ARM Integrated Debug Macrocell
+ Find + use JTAG testpads
+ look for suspicious testpads on PCB
+ tracing PCB traces impossible at 8-layer PCB
+ trial + error
+ sometimes you might find schematics ;)

+ JTAG is basically a long shift register
+ Input, Output, Clock (TDI, TDO, TCK)
+ Therefore, you can try to shift data in and check if/where it comes out

+Serial console
+
+
+How to find the serial console
+ Just run some code that you think writes to it
+ Use a Scope to find typical patterns of a serial port
+ I haven't actually done (or needed) this on the glofiish yet, but on many other devices
+ RxD pin is harder to find, just trial+error usually works as soon as you have some interactive prompt that echo's the characters you write
+ Don't forget to add level shifter from 3.3/5V to RS232 levels

+What's HaRET
+
+What is HaRET
+ a Windows executable program for any WinCE based OS
+ offers a control interface on a TCP port
+ connect to it using haretconsole (python script) on Linux PC
+ supports a number of popular ARM based SoC (PXA, S3C, MSM)
+ features include
+ GPIO state and tracing
+ MMIO read/write
+ virtual/physical memory mapping
+ IRQ tracing (by redirecting IRQ vectors)
+ load Linux into ram and boot it from within WinCE
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+%page
+Anatomy of Contemporary Smartphone Hardware
+Using HaRET
+
+Using HaRET
+ run the program on the target device
+ connect to it using haretconsole over USB-Ethernet
+ read GPIO configuration
+ Create GPIO funciton map based on SoC data sheet
+ watch for GPIO changes
+ remove the signal from the noise
+ exclude unitneresting and frequently changing GPIOs
+ watch for GPIO changes while performing certain events
+ press every button and check
+ start/stop peripherals
+ insert/eject SD card
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+%page
+Anatomy of Contemporary Smartphone Hardware
+Using HaRET
+
+
+Using HARET
+ watch for IRQ changes/events
+ e.g. you see DMA3 interrupts while talking to the GSM
+ read MMIO config of DMA controller to determine user: SPI
+ read SPI controller configuration + DMA controller configuration
+ find RAM address of data buffers read/written by DMA
+ haretconsole writes logfiles
+ you can start to annotate the logfiles
+ of course, all of this could be done using JTAG, too.
+ but with HaRET, you mostly don't need it!!!

+Disassembling WinCE drivers
+
+
+Disassmbling WinCE drivers
+ is the obvious thing to do, right?
+ is actually not all that easy, since
+ WinCE doesn't allow you to read the DLLs
+ not via ActiveSync neither WinCE filesystem API's
+ Apparently, they are pre-linked and not real files anymore
+ luckily, there are tools in the 'ROM cooking' scene
+ hundreds of different tools, almost all need Windows PC
+ therefore, not useful to me
+ conclusion: Need to understand the ROM image format
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

+Disassembling WinCE ROM files
+
+Disassembling WinCE ROM files
+ 'datextract' to extract different portions like OS image
+ 'x520.pl' to remove spare NAND OOB sectors from image and get a file
+ split resulting image in bootsplash, cabarchive and disk image
+ 'xx1.pl' to split cabarchive into CAB files
+ 'partextract' to split disk image in partitions
+ 'SRPX2XIP.exe' (wine) to decompress XPRS compressed partition0+1
+ 'dumpxip.pl' to dump/recreate files in partition0 and 1
+ 'ImgfsToDump.exe' to dump/recreate files in partition2 (imagefs)

+ Now we finally have the re-created DLL's with the drivers
+ Use your favourite debugger/disassembler to take them apart
+ I'm a big fan of IDA (Interactive Disassembler)

+ There's actually a Linux x86 version
+ Was even using it with qemu on my Powerbook some years back

+Disassembling WinCE Drivers
+
+Disassembling WinCE drivers
+ Is typically hard, they're completely stripped
+ Windows drivers are very data-driven, not many symbols/functions
+ However, debug statements left by developers are always helpful
+ After some time you get used to it
+ You know your hardware and the IO register bases
+ take it from there, look at register configuration
+ What I've learned about WinCE driver development
+ ... would be an entirely separate talk
+ MSDN luckily has full API documentation

+WinCE Registry
+
+
+WinCE has a registry, too
+ I never really understood what this registry is all about, but it doesn't matter ;)
+ You can use 'synce-registry' to dump it to Linux
+ Contains important information about
+ how drivers are interconnected
+ various configuration parameters of drivers
