[MLB-WIRELESS] Minitar image

[Sebastian Najnert]

Here's a quick'n dirty script to cut and unpack the Minitar AP upgrade.

#!/bin/bash
#-- START

wget http://www.minitar.com/downloads/MIN2APB_2.20.zip
unzip -jo MIN2APB_2.20.zip

dd if=general-ap_upg_2.20.bin bs=1 skip=12 count=$((0x18000)) | \
  zcat ->webpages-ap.bin

dd if=general-ap_upg_2.20.bin bs=1 skip=$((12+0x18000)) | \
  zcat ->vmlinux_img

dd if=vmlinux_img bs=1 count=$((0x166000)) >kcoff
dd if=vmlinux_img bs=1 skip=$((0x166000)) |zcat ->tmpimg.img
rm -f vmlinux_img
#-- END

You will get 3 files: webpages-ap.bin (the web pages), kcoff (the kernel

binary, probably in ECOFF format) and tmpimg.img (the initrd). 

Mount the ramdisk loop and have fun:
mount -t ext2 -o loop tmpimg.img /mnt/floppy -o ro,nodev,nosuid,noexec

I remember seeing somebody saying how to mount the minitar image so that
you can see the files and stuff.

Can anybody point me in the direction of how to do this?

Cheers,

Sam
