Description

somagic-extract-firmware is a small tool to extract the EasyCAP Somagic firmware from a Windows driver file. It searches the driver file for the firmware and verifies its CRC32 signature before writing it to a file.

Preliminaries

Before using this program, a file must be obtained. Using Wine or Windows, run "Setup.exe", which should be found in the "Drivers" directory of the EasyCAP installation CD. This should create a driver file named "SmiUsbGrabber3C.sys" or "SmiUsbGrabber3E.sys", located in the "Program Files/Common Files/Somagic/SmiUsbGrabber3C/xp/" or "Program Files/Common Files/Somagic/SmiUsbGrabber3E/xp/" directory.

Dependencies

make, gcc, libgcrypt11 (and development headers)

Example

sudo somagic-extract-firmware ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Common\ Files/Somagic/SmiUsbGrabber3C/xp/SmiUsbGrabber3C.sys
