HackieboxNG is the next generation bootloader and firmware for your toniebox!
The HackieboxNG SD bootloader consists of two parts. The bootloader itself that allows selecting + running different firmwares and a relocator to move the bootloaders memory to the upper end of the memory. In addition there is a sd bootloader with one fixed file to run called preloader.
- Nine firmware slots
- Loading any CC3200 standard firmware
- Loading the original firmware directly
- Patching binaries in memory for ex. enable SLIX tags or disable charger wakeup (more)
- Highly configurable via json files
Please take a look into the wiki
TBD
The HackieboxNG CFW is based on a full open source gcc (arm/ti) toolchain. This allows building the new firmware generation without dependecies to micropython or Energia. Makefiles + Visual Studio Code launch.json/tasks.json are provided to get started instantly on linux. An openocd file for the cc3200-launchpad is preconfigured in the launch.json. You may alternativly use the provided j-link config file if you got this type of debugger.
Currently building is only supported under Linux and tested under Debian and Ubuntu. As a first step it is adviced to run the /common/buildAndShip.bootloader.sh script once without parameters and once /common/buildAndShip.bootloader.sh debug. This will build all artefacts and needed dependency artefacts. (especially the driverlib and libsimplelink_nonos_opt) For building just single artefacts just take a look into the buildAndShip.bootloader.sh or the provided /.vscode/tasks.json
