The new uImage format allows more flexibility in handling images of various types (kernel, ramdisk, etc.), it also enhances integrity protection of images with sha1 and md5 checksums.
This page hosts a formal specification of U-Boot Image wrapper using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.
All parsing code for C# generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the C# runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.
The C# runtime library is available in the NuGet Gallery. Installation instructions can also be found there.
Parse a local file and get structure in memory:
var data = Uimage.FromFile("path/to/local/file.bin");
Or parse structure from a byte array:
byte[] someArray = new byte[] { ... };
var data = new Uimage(new KaitaiStream(someArray));
After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by accessing properties like:
data.Header // => get header
// This is a generated file! Please edit source .ksy file and use kaitai-struct-compiler to rebuild
