UV_K5_playground

src/spectrum

Spectrum scanner. It prints a spectrum graph that covers +/- 1 MHz from the center frequency. Prints center frequency, and frequency with highest amplitude.

• download mod uv_k5_01_26_spectrum_2MHz_encoded.bin
• to enable spectum view press flash light button
• use up and down key to change center frequency
• press PTT to disable spectrum view

Please, consider paying tribute to the two fallen Quashengs that were bricked during the development process. Their sacrifice played a crucial role in shaping this project. To show your appreciation and support for our ongoing work, you can make a donation.

src/rssi_sbar

sbar with calibrated S steps

• download mod uv_k5_01_26_rssi_sbar_encoded.bin
• flash with original quansheng update tool

src/rssi_printer

mod for printing rx signal level (RSSI) in numerical format, also includes small signal level chart.

uploading to radio

• download mod uv_k5_01_26_rssi_printer_encoded.bin
• upload it through original firmware update tool:

flash masking and memory layout

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

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 tasks like responding to a button press(todo), before invoking the original firmware handler

flash memory layout

When building the "par_runner" target automaticly "bootloader" target will be build building par_runner target will result in following outputs:

• par_runner.bin / .hex - right part of image, can be used to generate encrypted firmware compatible with orginal Quescheng update tool
• bootloader.bin - stripped bootloader from orginal firmware
• par_runner_with_bootloader.bin - complete firmware image

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:

• arm-none-eabi-gcc
• python (i have newest version)
• cmake
• ninja
• open-ocd

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

for debugging:

• vs code
  • Cortex-Debug plugin
  • CMake plugin

building

via terminal

$ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake ../ -G Ninja $ ninja par_runner outputs ./build/src/par_runner/par_runner.bin / hex / elf

uploading

$ ninja par_runner_flash

via VS Code

Select the par_runner build target in the bottom bar and press build.

uploading

Enter the 'Run & Debug' tab, select 'kwaczek DBG', and press run.
