Firmware image found with MediaTek MT76xx wifi chipsets.
This page hosts a formal specification of Andes Firmware Image layout as seen in MT76 Wifi Chipsets using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.
All parsing code for Python generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the Python runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.
The Python runtime library can be installed from PyPI:
python3 -m pip install kaitaistructParse a local file and get structure in memory:
data = AndesFirmware.from_file("path/to/local/file.bin")
Or parse structure from a bytes:
from kaitaistruct import KaitaiStream, BytesIO
raw = b"\x00\x01\x02..."
data = AndesFirmware(KaitaiStream(BytesIO(raw)))
After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by invoking getter methods like:
data.image_header # => get image header
# This is a generated file! Please edit source .ksy file and use kaitai-struct-compiler to rebuild

from kaitaistruct import KaitaiStruct, KaitaiStream, BytesIO
if getattr(kaitaistruct, 'API_VERSION', (0, 9)) < (0, 9):
raise Exception("Incompatible Kaitai Struct Python API: 0.9 or later is required, but you have %s" % (kaitaistruct.__version__))
