This tool is a scriptable (lua) tool to patch binaries, it supports:
- raw binary
- ELF
- SB(v1/v2)
It also contains some basic routines to parse and generate useful arm/thumb code
like jump or register load/store. This is very useful to take a firmware and
patch an interrupt vector or some code to jump to an extra payload added to
the binary. Examples are provided for several STMP based target which the payload
is expected to be hwstub, and also for the Sansa View. A typical patcher usually
requires three elements:
- the lua patcher itself
- the payload (hwstub for example)
- (optional) a small stub either to jump properly to the payload or determine
under which circumstance to do the jump (hold a key for example)
