Support for powerquicc vxworks platform

[mrdion]

Hello,

i tried a vxworks based mpc8xx powerquicc firmware (dumped from a flash chip) on ghidra with your script, vxhunter_firmware_init, the result is :

[INFO ][vxhunter_core.find_symbol_table] symbol table start offset: 0000bdf29b [INFO ][vxhunter_core.find_symbol_table] Symbol table end offset: 0000bdfacb [INFO ][vxhunter_core._check_vxworks_endian] VxWorks endian: Little endian.

Continuing... Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\Downloads\vxhunter-master\firmware_tools\ghidra\vxhunter_core.py", line 593, in find_loading_address key_function_index = self._firmware.index('\x00' + function_name_key_words[0] + '\x00') ValueError: substring not found substring not found vxhunter_firmware_init.py> Finished!

The last load address, i just add it myself just to try, because i see it in early codes after reset (which is at 0x100). apparently, it doesn't worked. I had compared the symbol table with example firmware at your folder, but it's a bit different. Would you take a look at this? (this is my email : dion dot storage at gmail dot com.)

thanks in advance.

Hi @mrdion as we communicated at mail, VxHunter doesn't support your flash dump file since symbols are not compiled in the VxWorks image.   We have to analyze this flash dump file manually for now, until we find a way to automatically analyze the VxWorks init stack codes.

Thanks a lot for your effort and guides.
