You can find at least 3 checksums, and then see if there are any other matches, and if there are other matches, then see if any of them are around there 6 bytes off, if you want to do it.

As for other then VAG roms, I am clueless. I just mainly tune VAG for now.
However, if you donated me a Ferrari, I might be more inclined to figure things about Ferraris. Wink
There is no "actual CRC32 routine" it just compares the calculated sum to stored value...
If you looked and understood the ECU routine, you'd see what I mean. For now you will have to trust me and implement it the way I say Wink

I'd love to be able to donate a Ferrari to you but then I'd be Ferrari-less so it would be a bit pointless really Wink ...It took me many years to get that toy i can tell you that!

Just to clarify the "no actual crc32 routine" point. Are you saying they have 'in-lined' the calculated sum function in the code? You describe it compares the 'calculated' sum with the 'stored' value - so where exactly did it 'calculate' it? inline or in a subroutine? (or multiple subroutines?). I can see you have considerable experience with this architecture and I appreciate all the help. I aim to get up to speed quickly (due to my asm background I'm confident I will). In terms of the routines, I'd love to explore them, what rom file are we talking about and can you give me a byte offset? Also what the segmentation register values should be...

Okay basically it calculates one sum at a time per pass of the routine.

1st pass, calculate 1st sum.
2nd pass, check 1st sum against stored ROM value.
3rd pass, calculate 2nd sum.
4th pass, check 2nd sum against stored ROM value.

etc.

This is probably done to reduce load on the ECU as it is a very computation intensive process.
So while there is a CRC routine, it's not called where the calculated value is checked, the routine at 0x7ED8 (which is in CPU ROM btw), just loads stuff from ROM to RAM.

Damn you and your curiosity Cheesy

I was unable to locate this in the Ferrari 360 binary btw. At least not in the 15 minutes I spent looking at it.
Because I do not tune Ferraris, it is not in my interest to allocate more time to it at the moment :/

There are nested loops.

Outer loop starts at the beginning of it's designated region/zone and calculates current start address to pass to CRC routine. The outer loop also passes number of bytes to be processed per iteration of the CRC routine, which is 176 (B0h) in the ME7 files that I looked at. The outer loop runs until the end of the desinated region is reached. The start address, end address - 1, and number of bytes to process per inner loop iteration are hardcoded in this portion of code.

The inner loop is the CRC routine itself. It runs from the start address passed from the outer for the number of bytes passed (176 except final iteration). This calculates the actual CRC. The hash table location is hardcoded in this routine.

On the final iteration of the outer loop, a flag is set signalling the calculated CRC to be compared to the checksum stored in the file. After the checks are compared, the flag is changed again to signal for the next region's calculation to begin. It continues like this until all regions are complete.

I hope that makes sense, it was from memory.

It shouldn't be hard at all to use a pattern to find everything needed. The code is unique and everything needed is hardcoded. The code for the different regions is duplicated sequentially.

I took a quick peek at the K-box and it is a little different. The third regions end address was different and there was another portion that gets processed after the final loop of the third region. I didn't get a chance to really go through it though.

Also looked at the Op's file briefly and found similar checking routines. Again, didn't really get a chance to go through it.

Thanks for the explanation.

It makes sense now. Ah, okay, so in addition to the 512kbyte FIRMWARE DUMP file I pulled using Bootmode there is in fact also some resident ROM functions too! (How big is this rom in kbytes, any idea?). This actual CRC function code is one of them in the ROM then! ... So, these rom functions are referenced by the upgradable Firmware but they themselves are not upgradable (sort of like a re-usable utils library). Hmmm, so if I can dump the rom functions I should be able to understand exactly what they do....

Q. Has anyone dumped the ROM regions (and reversed them?), are they read protected? If not I assume someone could write a similar tool to the dump EEPROM one for this purpose (anyone actually done it?).

I can only assume the VAG rom is quite a bit different than the 360 one hence the reason why the searching didn't find anything. Its probably in a different location and may even be a different variant of the function (slightly modified or older/newer version of the routine).

Last question then (sorry to have consumed so much time!) how necessary are these additional checks? could I not just 'nop' them out? Smiley since they seem to be crc's on top of crc's (i.e possibly a bit of overkill...)

32kb, you can pull it out through minimon.

No, the only thing in the ROM here is the function that loads some values from a specified offset into RAM.

Correct.

Yes, there are a few different ROM versions. Some VAG ME7 flash firmware files actually have the ROM image embedded in the first 0x0000-0x7FFF, but in others 0x0000-0x7FFF already contains different user area code.

The CRC32 stuff is entirely in flash.

You can do whatever you want. It's just a computer and you are capable of programming.

And the mask you have to find:
E6 F4 FF FF E6 F5 FF FF DA 00 D8 7E

FF - masked out byte.

You need to find all matches of that mask, the first FF FF is the low word of the address, the second FF FF is the high word.
There should be three sequential ones, where the the pointed values are 6 bytes apart, these are the checksum locations.

I am sure you guys can adapt this function or the idea behind it to work on a file instead of RAM Wink

Yes. I have a needle/haystack/mask function, but it works a bit differently since it is based on chipselect algorithms (and i'm using this to detect checksum block descriptor areas)

Code:
static int memcmp_mask(const void *ptr1, const void *ptr2, const void *mask, size_t len)
{
    const uint8_t *p1 = (const uint8_t*)ptr1;
    const uint8_t *p2 = (const uint8_t*)ptr2;
    const uint8_t *m = (const uint8_t*)mask;

    while(len--)
    {
        int diff = m?(*p2 & *m)-(*p1 & *m):*p2-*p1;
        if (diff) return diff>0?1:-1;
        p1++;
        p2++;
        if (m) m++;
    }
    return 0;
}

The idea is that it can mask out individual bits, not just whole bytes, and also search for bytes that match 0xff (if both needle and mask are 0xff)

so "E6 F4 FF FF E6 F5 FF FF DA 00 D8 7E" becomes

Code:
needle = E6 F4 00 00 E6 F5 00 00 DA 00 D8 7E
  mask = ff ff 00 00 ff ff 00 00 ff ff ff ff

I'll work on it now.

Question is, how to find block start/end?

Ok for block start/end it is a bit more tricky.

I masked out bytes with XX and marked high word and low word with HH and LL.

For 29F800:
Offset start positions:
E6 F8 LL LL E6 F9 HH 00 F2 F4 XX XX 24 8F
Offset end positions:
10 9B E6 F4 LL LL E6 F5 HH 00 26 F4

29F400 routines are a wee bit different, but I think for 29F400 just assume the same locations every time, the ones that worked for C box.
Test it with a few binaries, but I think all 29F400 are the same.

8D0907551A
8D0907551B
8D0907551D

these didn't find any:
4Z7907551S
8D0907551C
8D0907551T

these found more than 3 (they found 4), and none of them match up
8D0907551F
8D0907551K
8D0907551Q

obviously, ferrari's didn't work at all.

As I stated above, the K box had something extra at the end. I didn't get to analyze it, but it ran after the final iteration of the third region, before the check IIRC.

On the K box, the third region runs from 0x818192 everything the same as before except the end address is 0x81FBDD. At the final iteration, the iteration counter gets cleared and the flag gets set to calculate a fourth region instead of signalling to compare the check values.

The fourth region from 0x826A00 to 0x82FFD gets calculated and then checked at 0x89000C.

There is also an intialization, so if the control byte or flag as I've been referring to it isn't set to indicate calculation of any of the regions or check value comparisons, then the CRC value gets an intial calculation from start address 0x8183E9 for ten bytes.

I can try to explain the "control byte" better if this is confusing.

Thanks for the info, phila

Here is what I have (using prj's matching pattern)
Code:
    //                            LL    LL                HH
    uint8_t n0[] = {0xE6, 0xF8, 0x00, 0x00, 0xE6, 0xF9, 0x00, 0x00, 0xF2, 0xF4, 0x00, 0x00, 0x24, 0x8F};
    uint8_t m0[] = {0xff, 0xff, 0x00, 0x00, 0xff, 0xff, 0x00, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0x00, 0x00, 0xff, 0xff};
    //                                        LL    LL                HH
    uint8_t n1[] = {0x10, 0x9B, 0xE6, 0xF4, 0x00, 0x00, 0xE6, 0xF5, 0x00, 0x00, 0x26, 0xF4};
    uint8_t m1[] = {0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0x00, 0x00, 0xff, 0xff, 0x00, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff};

And here are the results for K box:

What should i do to detect that its different, and should be handled as you describe?

Even the first two regions dont work right

Add the intial CRC for the ten bytes from 0x8183E9 and see if that fixes the first two.
                   
E6 FC LL LL E6 FD HH HH E0 sE DA XX XX XX F6 F4

s == length in bytes

Nyet,

I have been studying 8D0907551C dump and I have found the full Multipoint checksum routine and from this we should be able to derive the addresses (physical file offset which contains the actual values).

In this rom the function which initializes the multipoint checksum with the START and END addresses looks like this....

//
// FYI: It starts at file offset 0x6B972 in 8D0907551C dump
//

//
// [physical memory start offset = 0x86b972, dump file byte offset = x6b972]
//

Code:
_InitMultipoint: 
mov initvar1, ZEROS                                    ; {F6} 8E, {FA 80}  offset+x80fa
mov initvar2, ZEROS                                    ; {F6} 8E, {FC 80}  offset+x80fc
movb initvar3, ZEROS                                    ; {F7} 8E, {03 81}  offset+x0381

extp #518, #2                                            ; {D7} 50 06 02
mov r4, MainRom_Checksum_START_Low        ; {F2} F4,{ E6 3F } offset+x3fe6 [file offset=x6b982]
mov r5, MainRom_Checksum_START_High        ; {F2} F5,{ E8 3F } offset+x3fe8 [file offset=x6b986]

mov MainRom_Checksum_START_Low_cpy, r4  ; {F6} F4,{ FE 80 } offset+x80fe [file offset=x6b98a]
mov MainRom_Checksum_START_High_cpy, r5  ; {F6} F5,{ 00 81 } offset+x8100 [file offset=x6b98e]

movb rl4, #1                                                ; {E1} 18
movb loop_counter, rl4                                  ; {F7} F8 { 02 81 } offset+x8102
extp #518, #2                                            ; {D7} 50 { 06 02 } ;x0206 == 518 decimal

mov r4, MainRom_Checksum_END_Low            ; {F2} F4 { EA 3F } offset+x3fea [file offset=x6b99c]
mov r5, MainRom_Checksum_END_High            ; {F2} F5 { EC 3F } offset+x3fec [file offset=x6b9a0]

mov MainRom_Checksum_End_Low_Cpy, r4      ; {F6} F4 { 04 81 } offset+x8104
mov MainRom_Checksum_End_High_Cpy, r5      ; {F6} F5 { 06 81 } offset+x8106

rets                                    ; {DB 00}

// I further noticed the field referenced by the code are in these locations

// asm offset x3fe6 -  (1bfe6 is MainRom_Checksum_START_Low) - phy addr 81bfe6, file offset 1bfe6
// asm offset x3fe8 -  (1bfe8 is MainRom_Checksum_START_Low) - phy addr 81bfe8, file offset 1bfe8

// asm offset x3fea -  (1bfe6 is MainRom_Checksum_END_Low)   - phy addr 81bfea, file offset 1bfea
// asm offset x3fec -  (1bfe8 is MainRom_Checksum_END_Low)   - phy addr 81bfec, file offset 1bfec

The question now is how to convert the asm instruction relative offsets to byte offsets in the file?
...I believe a clue is to do with the segmented memory model of the C167, [c167 asm guys help me out here!].

I can provide the full routine I reversed if anyones interested, it does the full multi-point checksum and starts in this rom at byte offset x6b9ae.

the other 2 two still dont work (with or without the added crc)

360: it already detects the multipoint no problem; i just loosened the matching parameters some (see latest git checkin).. what i cant' find is the CRC blocks
