ASUS Fugu bootloader.img format (version 2 and later): Ruby parsing library

A bootloader image which only seems to have been used on a few ASUS devices. The encoding is ASCII, because the releasetools.py script is written using Python 2, where the default encoding is ASCII.

A test file can be found in the firmware files for the "fugu" device, which can be downloaded from https://developers.google.com/android/images

Minimal Kaitai Struct required: 0.9

This page hosts a formal specification of ASUS Fugu bootloader.img format (version 2 and later) using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.

Usage

Runtime library

All parsing code for Ruby generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the Ruby runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.

The Ruby runtime library can be installed from RubyGems:

gem install kaitai-struct

Code

Parse a local file and get structure in memory:

data = AndroidBootldrAsus.from_file("path/to/local/file.img")

Or parse structure from a string of bytes:

bytes = "\x00\x01\x02..."
data = AndroidBootldrAsus.new(Kaitai::Struct::Stream.new(bytes))

After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by invoking getter methods like:

data.images # => Only three images are included: `ifwi.bin`, `droidboot.img`
and `splashscreen.img`

Ruby source code to parse ASUS Fugu bootloader.img format (version 2 and later)

android_bootldr_asus.rb

# This is a generated file! Please edit source .ksy file and use kaitai-struct-compiler to rebuild

require 'kaitai/struct/struct'

unless Gem::Version.new(Kaitai::Struct::VERSION) >= Gem::Version.new('0.9')
  raise "Incompatible Kaitai Struct Ruby API: 0.9 or later is required, but you have #{Kaitai::Struct::VERSION}"
end
