flash masking and memory layout

Chinese mcu DP32G030 has feature called flash masking, here is how it works: original_memory layout

libs/k5_uv_system (par_runner)

The idea is to run this firmware ‘parallel’ with the original Quencheng firmware. This can be achieved by relocating the original vector table to the end of the original firmware, and placing a new vector table at the beginning, with entities pointing to the par_runner functions that wrap the original firmware handlers.
Every interrupt is first processed by the par_runner handlers, which can perform some tasks, before invoking the original firmware handler

flash memory layout

When building the “par_runner” target automaticly “bootloader” target will be build memory layout building UV_K5_Playground target will result in following outputs:

To change the original firmware that will be wrapped and placed into the original firmware section, replace ./original_fw/original_fw.bin or set the variable CMakeLists.txt set(ORGINAL_FW_BIN orginal_fw.bin) in ./orginal_fw/CMakeLists.txt and rebuild par_runner

build system installation

currently tested on windows, requred:

All folders with executables of the above programs should be added to the PATH environment variable.

After cloning repo init submodules:
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
