Has the hackabiliy of the E4 made you buy one :  

Yes, I was already looking at the competition at a similar price, but the hack swung it to E4
274 (27.9%)
Yes, I'd not considered buying a TIC before, but 320x240 resolution at this price justifies it (as either tool or toy!)
444 (45.3%)
Yes, I was going to buy an E5/6/8 class of unit but will now get the E4
49 (5%)
No, but am looking out for a cheap i3 to hack
50 (5.1%)
Not yet, but probably will if now that a closed-box hack becomes is possible
164 (16.7%)

I just remembered something about WinCE not being able to access a volume when it was mounted via USB.
Once USB unplugged, you get another folder in the root directory - FlashIFS, so you can copy stuff on & off the device via this..!

Love the new boot splash!  ;D

And that other serial port also looks pretty damn interesting.

Ooo...that does look important.  I had been looking through the update I downloaded from the FLIR website, but that folder is not included.  I did find this while trying to disassemble the .exe's in the firware...  Hopefully when my E4 arrives I'll be able to help more (ordered yesterday after convincing myself that it could one day be an E8).

I don't need an E4 (or an E8) but I am rivetted to this thread. I love it when someone with a decent brain penetrates the OS of a sytem to increase its capabilities. Its like some sort of 'Black Op'  :-+

Great work Mike and you may get some additional help with Beaan-dip also working on the challenge.  :)

My FLIR PM5xx and 6xx series TIC's also have two serial ports. One for remote control, and one dedicated to factory use. I shall have to give the factory port a poke to see what is there  :)

I am not as skilled in this area as Mike but I would be interested to see whether I can enable the (already fitted) high temperaturefilter on my cameras. It just needs a software change to set it to 'present'. The menu then permits its use. I had better repair my remaining project unit first though.

It appears that the contents of flashfs are created at factory test/cal time.,and comprise a ton of config & cal data
flashBFS seems to be system, which looks like what is in the update file.
The file creation dates are also interesting.

# We cannot rely on file date because that might change when transfering files

Maybe all of this could convince the thermal camera makers to reduce their prices. I can dream, right? ;D

Nope, it will teach them to install security in their design to prevent such firmware analysis  ;)

That kind of reminds me of when Texas Instruments went after graphing calculator hobbyists for breaking their signing keys. It didn't end too well for the company.

Digging around UI files in the FW update suggests a hidden menu.
 
Quote
  <ui_model type="RetailModeSettingsModel" name="retailModeSettingsModel">
    <ui_model_item type="SettingItem" ID="OFF" label="ID_RETAIL_OFF" radio="true"/>
    <ui_model_item type="SettingItem" ID="ELECTRICAL" label="ID_RETAIL_ELECTRICAL_APPLICATIONS" radio="true"/>
    <ui_model_item type="SettingItem" ID="BUILDING" label="ID_RETAIL_BUILDING_APPLICATIONS" radio="true"/>
  </ui_model>

<ui_model type="HiddenServiceSettingsModel" name="hiddenServiceSettingsModel">
    <ui_model_item type="SettingItem" ID="USB_MODE" label="ID_SETUP_USB_MODE"

nextModel="usbModeSettingsModel" nextQML="SettingsPage.qml" settingType="entry" />
    <ui_model_item type="SettingItem" ID="EXPORT_INFO" label="ID_SETUP_EXPORT_INFO" />

    <ui_model_item type="SettingItem" ID="VERSION_INFO" label="ID_SETUP_VERSION_INFO" nextModel="versionSettingsModel" nextQML="SettingsPage.qml" settingType="entry" />
  </ui_model>

  <ui_model type="USBModeSettingsModel" name="usbModeSettingsModel">
    <ui_model_item type="SettingItem" ID="MSD" label="MSD" radio="true"/>
    <ui_model_item type="SettingItem" ID="UVC" label="UVC" radio="true"/>
    <ui_model_item type="SettingItem" ID="RNDIS" label="RNDIS" radio="true" />

    <ui_model_item type="SettingItem" ID="RNDIS_UVC_MSD" label="RNDIS, UVC and MSD" radio="true"/>
  </ui_model>
I believe RNDIS is the critical thing - from what I recall from the i7 email it allows virtual networking to either TELNET or similar into the console, or FTP access.
Incidentally re. comments about noise earlier  :

"Normal" mode :
Quote
.caps.config.image.targetNoise entry
.caps.config.image.targetNoise.enabled bool true
.caps.config.image.targetNoise.targetNoiseMk int32 135
"Service" mode :
Quote
.caps.config.image.targetNoise entry
.caps.config.image.targetNoise.enabled bool false
.caps.config.image.targetNoise.targetNoiseMk int32 0

Editing that conf.cfg file doesn't seem to do anything...  :(

I wonder if this has anything to do with it... from /system/combtabs.d/combtab.appkit:

Code: [Select]
# combtab file for Astra
# This file should be present as different filenames in
# appkit, prodkit and OS project directory
TYPE combtab
#unique file identifier
DATE 2013-08-14
# Newest date for any combtab file identifies file to use.
# We cannot rely on file date because that might change when transfering files
KITS osimgkit, appkit, prodkit
# KITS line identifies resource branch for columns used in file. comma separated.
SHORT os, appkit, prodkit
# SHORT line identifies kits in the concatenated fullver resource. comma separated.
COMBINATIONS
# this line identifies that table starts.
# table lines comma separated as KITS above
# KITS osimgkit, appkit, prodkit

I saw those - I think those numbers may be a reference to numbers in the eeprom.
BTW there is an I2C command in the console that appear to allow eeprom fiddling

I just remembered something about WinCE not being able to access a volume when it was mounted via USB.
Once USB unplugged, you get another folder in the root directory - FlashIFS, so you can copy stuff on & off the device via this..!

I think this means the hidden menu comes after any item in the camera settings menu. Either a magic key in the menu, or a key combination at startup (probably hard start, not out of standby)
Quote

<ui_model type="CameraInfoSettingsModel" name="cameraInfoSettingsModel">
    <ui_model_item type="SettingItem" ID="MODEL" label="ID_SETUP_MODEL" value="*" nextModel="hiddenServiceSettingsModel"/>
    <ui_model_item type="SettingItem" ID="SERIAL" label="ID_SETUP_SERIAL" value="*" nextModel="hiddenServiceSettingsModel"/>
    <ui_model_item type="SettingItem" ID="PART" label="ID_SETUP_PART" value="*" nextModel="hiddenServiceSettingsModel"/>
    <ui_model_item type="SettingItem" ID="SOFTWARE" label="ID_SETUP_SOFTWARE" value="*" nextModel="hiddenServiceSettingsModel"/>
  </ui_model>

If someone has an E4 and some time on their hands, it would be worth trying some random key combinations at powerup, then going into the camera info screen & seeing if you can get deeper....
I can't immediately find any obvious keys in this menu with a normal startup

Mike,

My email provider keeps copies of my email on line for remote acess. Any chance your 'lost' i7 email still resides on your on-line  email arechive ? It might make your life a little easier.

Oh Mike.....you LOST the hack email   :palm:

Or did you hear the distinctive thump-thump-thump of the black helicopters rotors overhead ?  :scared:

If you ask GCHQ or the NSA nicely, they may provide you with their copy of the email  :-DD
Yep - hard disk on that laptop was failing around the time I got it - have tried to recover but no joy so far - may still be in there somewhere..

However.....
If you download the Ex firmware from Flir, and rename the .fif file to .cab  Many very interesting things appear.... Will take some time to examine....

What, you don't have your emails backed up or hosted online?  :palm:
Mostly yes, but  it was on a laptop I use in the house for casual email & web access & must have accidentally deleted the message from server before downloading on main PC. I didn't pay too much attention at the time as it seemed rather specific to the i7 - was only a few days later I realised it could be more significant.

Well, just in case you lose your posts in here and Dave's backups don't work ... not to worry, I'm mirroring this thread. And that does get backed up. :P

OT: was the big fat error when you edited the conf file? You could try editing it and then restoring the datestamp to the original date. Just in case they do something with the datestamp. Did you grab a serial dump during changed conf? I noticed a kind of expect count check in there for message counts. At start it said something along the lines of "expecting N messages" and then near the end it confirmed having received precisely N of those messages.

Also, does anyone have any direct links to E4 and E8 firmware downloads?

No - I was messing around running random executables.

Doesn't look obviously different - didn't look in fine detail - no error messages or anything, either with an edited file (=possible  bad crc) or swapping the service one in..

Ex is on the Flir site (need to register) - has a silly javascript link so can't link direct.

Some possibly interesting snippets in this file
http://www.imc-store.com.au/v/vspfiles/assets/images/flir%20a310%20technical%20notes.pdf
For a different model, but recent, and the web  interface matches some things found in the web folder of the Ex FW update file

Also possibly interesting stuff in the file linked in the above doc  - documents some of the WinCE  executables

Here are the pinouts I've determined so far on the hidden bottom connector of the i7, for those interested. Is such a connector present on the E-series?
No -the connector is an internal FFC con.
You may find a second UART - on bootup it only throws out a few chars.
Also worth a good look through the FW update file, if available.

The PDF linked from the PDF I found above is very interesting.
All the settings are in "resources" a la Windows registry. These appear related to the various conf files, but not clear in which direction - it may be the files are derived from the resource settings or vice versa.
Look at the resource related commands in that second PDF. Beware rls -r recursive option - it spits out a LOT of data!
Unfortunately rset doesn't appear to work on image size, but have been able to set user settings using it.
