Knok for linux

Abstract

Knok for Linux is a DCT3 flasher for Linux. It is a port of the source of KNOK.

It employs real time scheduling to work under loads.

This is only a command line utility yet, if someone would like to make a (portable) GUI please do. That's not my stuff.

Using this utility is completely at your own risk. If you mess up, you can ask me for help but I am in no means liable. If you flash a Nokia firmware you need to update FAID, for which you need another utility like NokTool. (see known issues)

Compilation

It only compiles under Linux currently. I haven't tested it in Cygwin. If you port it to something else please send the patch to me.

$ cd knoklin-*version*
$ make

Usage

See the included readme.txt file.

Make sure you have the approciate I/O permissions for direct Parallel Port access, under Linux this means root, under Windows it means you have 'userport' running.

If you have questions mail me @ wumpus@goliath.darktech.org

Known issues

• Currently it uses LPT1 and has no easy way to change this. I'm sorry. This will be resolved in a future version.
• MBUS does not work yet -- So you can't update FAID with this tool. Either this program or the modified gammu will be adapted to calculate and send this.
• Writing works well, but reading blocks larger than 10000 from flash fails for some reason (MCU watchdog kicks in?).

This site is the result of a great deal of assembly code reading, research, countless (mostly futile) searches for data sheets, cross-referencing and analysing. If you use this information in any way please mention wumpus <blacksphere@goliath.darktech.org> (and others in the credits section) in the credits of your program/document. And tell me :) If you have more information please contribute. If you just copy this, stick your name on it and call it yours I hope you get your genitals bitten off by a three headed monkey. Have a nice day.
