GP2040-CE Binary Tools

Tools for working with GP2040-CE binary dumps.

Installation

% git clone [URL to this repository]
% cd gp2040ce-binary-tools
% pip install -e .

At some point we may publish packages to e.g. pypi.

Development Installation

As above, plus also pip install -Ur requirements/requirements-dev.txt to get linters and whatnot.

Tools

visualize-storage

visualize-storage reads a dump of a GP2040-CE board's flash storage section, where the configuration lives, and prints it out for visual inspection or diffing with other tools. Usage is simple; just pass the tool your binary file to analyze along with the path to the Protobuf files.

Because Protobuf relies on .proto files to convey the serialized structure, you must supply them from the main GP2040-CE project, e.g. pointing this tool at your clone of the core project. Something like this would suffice for a working invocation (note: you do not need to compile the files yourself):

% visualize-storage --proto-files-path=~/proj/GP2040-CE/proto \
--proto-files-path=~/proj/GP2040-CE/lib/nanopb/generator/proto \
memory.bin

In the future we will look into publishing complete packages that include the compiled _pb2.py files, so that you don't need to provide them yourself.
