iMX6Q NAND Boot issue in WinCE - c

I'm trying to boot eboot.nb0 from NAND. (Micron, MT29F4G08ABBDA) in WinCE7.
Processor: i.MX6Q
I have successfully booted u-boot.bin from NAND using kobs-ng tool in linux.
Also, if i use modified eboot.nb0 instead of u-boot.bin in kobs, it is booting without any problem.
But when i use MFGTool (in WinCE) for flashing eboot.nb0, it is not booting.
Following is the nanddump output when i am using kobs (linux) for flashing:

Here, why we are getting first 12 bytes as zeros? (METADATA_SIZE is set to 10). Why two additional zeros?
In WinCE (Using MFGTool):

In WinCE, it is not at all booting.
Where is the mistake?
If metadata size difference is the problem , how i can solve it? ( I have also tried by changing METADATA_SIZE = 12, which increases metadata size, but not booting.)
What are those two extra bytes in linux (kobs)?


Solved.
Eboot is booting from NAND now.
Correct data to be written for booting:

Parsing a keystroke record using input_event structure return strange key codes

Given:
A machine running Debian 10 and using the french keyboard mapping.
A dump of keystrokes correspoding to "azerty" obtained using:
sudo cat /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Keyboard-event-kbd > test_keylogger_azerty
The following code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <linux/types.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <xcb/xcb.h>
#include <xcb/xcb_keysyms.h>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <linux/input.h>
int main(int ac, char **av)
{
int fd, col;
xcb_connection_t *connection;
xcb_key_symbols_t *symbols;
struct input_event ev;
if (ac != 3) {
printf("Usage: %s <dump file> <symbol table index>\n", av[0]);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
connection = xcb_connect(NULL, NULL);
symbols = xcb_key_symbols_alloc(connection);
col = atoi(av[2]);
fd = open(av[1], O_RDONLY);
while (read(fd, (void *) &ev, sizeof(ev))) {
if (ev.type == EV_KEY && ev.value == 1)
printf("type: %x code: %x value: %2x => %s\n",
ev.type, ev.code, ev.value,
XKeysymToString(xcb_key_symbols_get_keysym(symbols, ev.code, col)));
}
printf("\n");
close(fd);
return(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
A test run with xev tell me that: a == 24, b == 25 [...] y == 29.
Nevertheless, when i run my program, the obtained code don't match (and, as a result, the guessed corresponding symbol doesn't match too):
$ ./reverse_kl test_keylogger_azerty 0
type: 1 code: 10 value: 1 => egrave
type: 1 code: 11 value: 1 => underscore
type: 1 code: 12 value: 1 => ccedilla
type: 1 code: 13 value: 1 => agrave
type: 1 code: 14 value: 1 => parenright
type: 1 code: 15 value: 1 => equal
type: 1 code: 1c value: 1 => t
type: 1 code: 1d value: 1 => y
type: 1 code: 2e value: 1 => l
if i modify my code that way:
$ diff reverse_kl.c{.ref,}
33c33
< XKeysymToString(xcb_key_symbols_get_keysym(symbols, ev.code , col)));
---
> XKeysymToString(xcb_key_symbols_get_keysym(symbols, ev.code + 8 , col)));
It works better:
$ ./reverse_kl test_keylogger_azerty 0
type: 1 code: 10 value: 1 => a
type: 1 code: 11 value: 1 => z
type: 1 code: 12 value: 1 => e
type: 1 code: 13 value: 1 => r
type: 1 code: 14 value: 1 => t
type: 1 code: 15 value: 1 => y
type: 1 code: 1c value: 1 => Return
type: 1 code: 1d value: 1 => Control_L
type: 1 code: 2e value: 1 => c
Also, note that, for key 'a', i have the code 10 and adding 8 still don't give me 24 but it's working...
If anyone could help me understanding this strange behaviour ...
EDIT:
Added an hexadecimal dump of the trace as requested:

As a reminder, below is the format of the input_event structure:
struct input_event {
struct timeval time;
__u16 type;
__u16 code;
__s32 value;
};
And, other reminder, keyboard stroke obey the following rules:
type == EV_KEY == 0x01
value may be 0 for event "key released", 1 for "key pressed" and 2 is for "auto-repeat".

Finding the value of pointers in memory C

Given the dataset below and the answer shown at the bottom (b36d5c), how does one compute this value for &ptr[3]. I'm just having trouble figuring out which area of the dataset it is referring to and how you add the size to that, but I know that the answer is correct.
sizeof(int) = 4
Data set starting at 0xb36d00 of size 128.

short y is stored at: 0xb36d14
int ***what is defined by: (int ***)(((int **)0xb36d0c) + 2)
What is the value of &ptr[3]?
b36d5c

int *ptr is said to be stored at 0xb36d28. The memory at 0xb36d28 contains 0x00b36d50 in little-endian order (and it contains that value regardless of whether pointers are four-bytes or eight, as the next four bytes are zero). Thus, ptr is 0xb36d50. If pointers are four bytes, then the address of ptr[3] is 3•4 bytes beyond 0xb36d50, so it is 0xb36d5c. (Since this fits the known answer, we conclude pointers are four bytes, not eight.)

How to read binary executable by instructions?

is there a way to read given amount of instructions from a binary executable file on x86 architecture programmatically?
If I had a binary of a simple C program hello.c:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
printf("Hello world\n");
return 0;
}
Where after compilation using gcc, the disassembled function main looks like this:
000000000000063a <main>:
63a: 55 push %rbp
63b: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
63e: 48 8d 3d 9f 00 00 00 lea 0x9f(%rip),%rdi # 6e4 <_IO_stdin_used+0x4>
645: e8 c6 fe ff ff callq 510 <puts#plt>
64a: b8 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%eax
64f: 5d pop %rbp
650: c3 retq
651: 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
658: 00 00 00
65b: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
Is there an easy way in C to read for example first three instructions (meaning the bytes 55, 48, 89, e5, 48, 8d, 3d, 9f, 00, 00, 00) from main? It is not guaranteed that the function looks like this - the first instructions may have all different opcodes and sizes.

this prints the 10 first bytes of the main function by taking the address of the function and converting to a pointer of unsigned char, print in hex.
This small snippet doesn't count the instructions. For this you would need an instruction size table (not very difficult, just tedious unless you find the table already done, What is the size of each asm instruction?) to be able to predict the size of each instruction given the first byte.
(unless of course, the processor you're targetting has a fixed instruction size, which makes the problem trivial to solve)
Debuggers have to decode operands as well, but in some cases like step or trace, I suspect they have a table handy to compute the next breakpoint address.
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
printf("Hello world\n");
const unsigned char *start = (const char *)&main;
int i;
for (i=0;i<10;i++)
{
printf("%x\n",start[i]);
}
return 0;
}
output:
Hello world
55
89
e5
83
e4
f0
83
ec
20
e8
seems to match the disassembly :)
00401630 <_main>:
401630: 55 push %ebp
401631: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp
401633: 83 e4 f0 and $0xfffffff0,%esp
401636: 83 ec 20 sub $0x20,%esp
401639: e8 a2 01 00 00 call 4017e0 <___main>

.globl _start

intentionally wrong architecture, architecture doesnt matter file format matters. built this into an elf file format, which is very popular, and is simply a file format which is what I understood your question to be, to read a file, not modify the binary to read the program runtime from memory.
it is very much popular and there are tools that do it which you appear to know how to run.
Disassembly of section .text:
00001000 <_start>:

000010d0 2f 00 00 00 has the 0x2f offset in the symbol table
so this is main, from this entry the address 08 10 00 00 or 0x1008 in
the processors memory, unfortunately due to the values I chose it happens to also be the file offset, dont get that confused.
this section is type 00000001 PROGBITS
0x11E8 1b 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 10 00 00
offset 0x1000 in the file 0x1C bytes
here is the program, the machine code.
00001000 00 00 00 eb fe ff ff ea 01 10 81 e2 01 20 82 e2
00001010 01 30 83 e2 01 40 84 e2 fa ff ff ea 41 11
so starting at memory offset 0x1008 which is 8 bytes after the
entry point (unfortunately I picked a bad address to use) we need to
go 0x8 bytes offset into this data
01 10 81 e2 01 20 82 e2
00001008 <main>:
1008: e2811001 add r1, r1, #1
100c: e2822001 add r2, r2, #1
1010: e2833001 add r3, r3, #1
this is all very file dependent, the cpu could care less about labels, main only means something to the humans, not the cpu.
If I convert the elf into other formats which are perfectly executable:

The instruction bytes of interest are of course there, but the symbol information isnt. It depends on the file format you are interested in as to 1) if you can find "main" and then 2) print out the first few bytes at that address.
Hmm, a bit disturbing, but if you link for 0x2000 gnu ld burns some disk space and puts the offset at 0x2000, but choose 0x20000000 and it burns more disk space but not as much
000100d0 2f 00 00 00 08 00 00 20 00 00 00 00 10 00 01 00
shows the file offset is 0x010010 but the address in target space is 0x20000008
00010010 01 30 83 e2 01 40 84 e2 fa ff ff ea 41 11 00 00
00010020 00 61 65 61 62 69 00 01 07 00 00 00 08 01
just to demonstrate/enforce the file offset and the target memory space address are two different things.
this is a very nice format for what you are wanting to do

Pulling individual integer value from hexadecimal value

Here is my hex code:

64 61 00 00 00 00 01 16 46 10 09 00 00 00 11 64
41 00 99 00 00 00 16 64 11 09 95 00 00 00 66 48
10 09 53 00 00 00
I know that the pixel "assignment" starts with the first line being (10 pixels wide):
92 59 00 16 47 00 00 00
I need to count how many times each colour is in the image, but I am unable to pull the individual integer value (ie: just the 9, then just the 2, then just the 5, and so on). The only value I am able to pull is "92" then "59" then "00"...
This is my code for that segment (the offset is 118 and the total hex values remaining are 80):
int nbr_each[NBRCOLOURS];
int ch, pixel;
fseek(fptr, 118, SEEK_SET);
for (count = 0; count < 81; count++)
{
pixel = fgetc(fptr);
nbr_each[pixel] = nbr_each[pixel] + 1;
}

fgetc will get you the individual characters.
first = fgetc(fptr); // '9'
second = fgetc(fptr); // '2'
space = fgetc(fptr); // ' '
Then convert each digit to a number 0..9 by subtracting off '0':
first -= '0';
second -= '0';
Then to count each digit, something like this:
nbr_each[first]++;
nbr_each[second]++;

how to save the captured packets in LibreOffice Calc instead of a txt file using c socket program?

My project is about capturing the packets in promiscuous mode in the client side and processing it (distinguishing between tcp,udp,icmp)in server side which is done using C socket code in ubuntu 13.04.
The Output is stored in a txt file as of now,but i want to save those packet fields in the cells in LibreOffice Calc, so that i can edit the cells in the sense choose only those packets which are needed.
I do not know whether its possible to do it? Can anybody please help me if its possible?and also how to do it?
My output txt file looks this way(only udp packet is shown here)

I have just included udp packet here. Here in fprintf statement i am using to print all the packets in the file whose filehandler is "logfile". the output which i get looks in this way

For instance, if you need to put the whole this report to one excel cell then you can put " in the beginning and " in the end of this output. Then you can save it as *.csv file and open it with Excel, LibreOffice.Calc etc. So in this case (" in the beginning and in the end) you will get all this output in the first cell:
If you need different spreading of the data between cells - use commas and "":
"first row, first cell", "first row, second cell",...
"second row, first cell", "second row, second cell",...
...
For example:
user#host $ cat new1.csv
"first row, first cell", "first row, second cell"
"second row, first cell", "second row, second cell"
Then it can be opened in LibreOffice.Calc and result will be the following:
Update: for spreading output data from the question to different cells:
I put a couple of , and " into original report from the question:
"This Report is from the Task agent whose IP is 127.0.0.1
