The firmware programs radio communication protocol (Lightbridge) main controller. Location of this chip:
- in P3X and P3S, Lightbridge MCU is STM32F103 micro-controller; it is on P3X OFDM Receiver board
- in P3C and P3XW, the module is included even though Lightbridge is not supported; maybe it programs chip of different function
- in WM330, Lightbridge MCU is STM32F103 micro-controller; it is on WM330 Receiver Main Processor 3-in-1 board
- in other products, the location is unknown
The module contains programming which controls Lightbridge. It configures and drives both the FPGA array and WiMAX RF transceiver used for Lightbridge states encoding and transmission. The chip controls external components via SPI.
With the shift to OcuSync, the communication system stopped having a separate control system, radio system and encoder. One chip became responsible for all those functions. See m0907 or m0901 for details on that.
There are multiple versions, always unencrypted.

The module is always unencrypted.
The firmware is a memory image of ARM binary. During startup, it is being loaded into memory at constant address and executed by a loader. Such memory images are usually prepared by first linking the file with all libraries, and then using objcopy -O binary to get the final file without ELF header. The ELF header can be re-created if the address and boundaries of sections are known.
No analysis of the booting procedure were performed.
TODO
Since this firmware is used on various products, some of the flashing may not apply to a specific platform.
This method requires a working communication between the camera module and OFDM Receiver. Ambarella FW within camera and bootloader of the target micro-controller must be in working order.
See Flashing firmware via SD-card by official package in camera for details.
This method requires a working communication between the camera module and OFDM Receiver. Ambarella FW within camera and bootloader of the target micro-controller must be in working order. The firmware module file needs to be unencrypted - flashing an encrypted firmware this way will cause the updated device to crash during startup, and the only way to bring it back to life will be to hook to it directly and flash it using a hardware programmer stick.
See Flashing firmware via SD-card by firmware module in camera for details.
The most independent and direct way of flashing is to connect STM STLink USB Programmer to proper pins of the Receiver board (SWDIO, SWCLK, RES, GND, POWER), and do the flashing from PC using ST-LINK utility.
The module communicates to Flight Controller m0306 through ribbon cable connected to P3X ESC center board or WM330 Flight Controller board. The communication uses one of UART interfaces of the micro-controller (either USART1, USART2 or USART3).
Transmission configuration is 256000 8N1. It uses 3.3V logic. The packets sent through the link are in DUPC binary format. They can be captured by comm_serial2pcap, and then viewed in Wireshark with use of DUPC dissectors.
The module uses SPI to talk with radio transceiver. It can support both AD9363 and AR8003, as those two chips have identical interfaces (with only minimal difference in some register addresses). The transmission parameters are in conformance with AD9363 specification.
The module can communicate to FPGA part of the radio channel (Altera Cyclone or AR8001 equivalent), by means unknown.
