Accessory Firmware Updates

WARNING: This is a lot of guessing and raw notes, please validate and extend but do not assume it is correct. It is a starting point for those who wish to continue this area of work.

UARP - Universal Accessory Restore Protocol

Guesswork structs from work on MagSafe Charger and Beats Studio Buds.

Versions appear to follow the format major.minor.release.build. An example of a build version is 100.7916.1052884864.1 or 247.0.0.0.

typedef enum {
    kPayloadFOTA = 'FOTA', // Firmware Over the Air

    kPayloadP2FW = 'P2FW', // PROTO2?
    kPayloadEVTF = 'EVTF', // Engineering Validation Test
    kPayloadPVTF = 'PVTF', // Production Validation Test
    kPayloadMPFW = 'MPFW', // Mainline Production Firmware
    kPayloadSTFW = 'STFW', // Storage Firmware?
    kPayloadDTTX = 'DTTX', // Data? Transmit
    kPayloadDTRX = 'DTRX', // Data? Receive
    kPayloadDMTP = 'DMTP', // Test Point?
    kPayloadPDFW = 'PDFW', // USB-C Power Delivery
    kPayloadULPD = 'ULPD', // Upload? Possibly the updater
    kPayloadCHDR = 'CHDR', // Charge Direction?
} t_payoad_type;

typedef struct {
    uint32_t version; // BE, == 2
    uint32_t size; // Version 2 header size == 0x2C
    uint32_t binary_size; // Length of the binary. Metadata plist follows immediately after.
    uint32_t major_version; // 100 in '100.7916.1052884864.1'.
    uint32_t minor_version; // 7916 in '100.7916.1052884864.1'.

    uint32_t metadata_offset; // Typically present after the full header.
    uint32_t metadata_length; // Note that metadata can be 0 in length.
    uint32_t row_offset = 0x2c; // Immediately follows UARP header.
    uint32_t row_length; // Divide by row size (0x28) to determine. 0xC8 defines five.
} uarp_header;

typedef struct {
    uint32_t row_size = 0x28;
    t_payload_type payload_type;  // For example 'FOTA';
    uint32_t major_version; // All versions within rows appear to match the binary header.
    uint32_t minor_version;
    uint32_t release_version;
    uint32_t build_version;
    uint32_t metadata_offset; // Both offset/length typically match the UARP header.
    uint32_t metadata_length;
    uint32_t payload_offset; // Offset within file.
    uint32_t payload_length; // Should never exceed binary size.
} uarp_row;

FOTA - Firmware over the Air

typedef struct {
    uint16_t nand_offset;
    uint16_t file_offset;
} chunk_checksum;

typedef struct {
    uint32_t // pad_before?
    uint32_t // distance_from_end
    uint32_t // pad_after?
    uint32_t chunks = 0x1C4
    uint32_t = 0 // pad_before?
    uint32_t = 0 // distance_from_end
    uint32_t = 0 // pad_after?
    uint32_t plist_length = 0xC97

Metadata

A NSKeyedArchiver for a bunch of NSDictionary objects - because just serializing the dictionary made no sense...

An example taken from the Beats Headphone Update:
