Decompiled the new #BL602 EFlash Loader with #Ghidra 🤔

https://github.com/bouffalolab/bl_iot_sdk/blob/master/flash_tool/chips/bl602/eflash_loader/eflash_loader.elf

EFlash Loader is the program that runs on #BL602 to flash all firmware ... The ELF was uploaded recently (no source available) ... Let's look inside with Ghidra

#Ghidra says that #BL602 EFlash Loader supports 24 Flashing Commands ... Let's decipher them 🤔

https://github.com/lupyuen/bl602-eflash-loader

#Ghidra reveals the 24 Flashing Commands supported by #BL602 EFlash Loader ... Very nice! 👍

https://github.com/lupyuen/bl602-eflash-loader

Here are the 24 Flashing Commands supported by the #BL602 EFlash Loader ... Thanks to Ghidra 🎉

https://github.com/lupyuen/bl602-eflash-loader#flashing-commands

So cute that the #BL602 Flashing Commands are all ASCII ... Perfect for UART! 👍

You can't tell which way the train went by looking at the tracks ... So let's study the #BL602 Firmware Flasher ... And see what Flashing Commands it sends to the EFlash Loader

https://github.com/bouffalolab/BLOpenFlasher

#BL602 Firmware Flasher works like a State Machine ... Each Flashing State triggers a Flashing Command ... Let's trace the Flashing States

https://github.com/bouffalolab/BLOpenFlasher/blob/main/utils/util_program.go#L195-L245

Here are the #BL602 Flashing States and Flashing Command IDs derived from the BL602 Firmware Flasher (BLOpenFlasher)

Now we can match the #BL602 Flashing States ... With the Flashing Commands reversed from the EFlash Loader

Here are 5 #BL602 Flashing Commands from EFlash Loader that we can probe further ... Let's dive into "Flash Program"
