#!/bin/bash
ZIPFILE=Minitar_AP_Firmware_2.32.zip
FIRMWARE=general-ap_upg_2.32_8m.bin
DOWNLOADSITE="http://www.minitar.com/downloads/"
#-- START
wget "$DOWNLOADSITE$ZIPFILE"
unzip -jo $ZIPFILE
dd if=$FIRMWARE bs=1 skip=12 count=$((0x18000)) | \
zcat ->webpages-ap.bin
dd if=$FIRMWARE bs=1 skip=$((12+0x18000)) | \
zcat ->vmlinux_img
dd if=vmlinux_img bs=1 count=$((0x16d000)) >kcoff
dd if=vmlinux_img bs=1 skip=$((0x16d000)) |zcat ->tmpimg.img
