  21. nvmsplit(1) Qualcomm Atheros Open Powerline Toolkit nvmsplit(1)
  22. NAME
  23. nvmsplit - Qualcomm Atheros PLC Firmware Image File Slicer
  24. SYNOPSIS
  25. nvmsplit [options] file [file] [...]
  26. DESCRIPTION
  27. Extract all images from an Atheros binary image file, leaving the original files intact. Extracted images appear in
  28. files having the input file basename with sequence numbers indicating the relative position of the image within the orig‐
  29. inal file. For example, image file abc.nvm might result in files abc-00.nvm, abc-01.nvm, abc-02.nvm and so on. Each
  30. output file is a valid, single-image file and so they can be combined using program nvmmerge.
  31. Atheros image files consist of a chain of image headers, each followed by an image block. Image blocks can contain data,
  32. applets or programs. Atheros software reads the header chain and decides which images to download and execute based on
  33. information in the image headers. Tampering with image headers or images may void some contractual obligations made by
  34. Atheros.
  35. This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit. See the AMP man page for an overview and installation
  36. instructions.
  37. OPTIONS
  38. -q Suppress routine messages. This option has no effect at this time.
  39. -v Print component file names on stderr as they are created.
  40. -?,--help
  41. Print program help summary on stdout. This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.
  42. -!,--version
  43. Print program version information on stdout. This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.
  44. Use this option when sending screen dumps to Atheros Technical Support so that they know exactly which version of
  45. the Linux Toolkit you are using.
  46. ARGUMENTS
  47. file The name of an Atheros image file. By convention, Atheros Image files have a .nvm file extension but this program
  48. does not enforce this convention. Invalid image files will be rejected causing the output to be incomplete.
  49. EXAMPLES
  50. The following example reads Atheros image file abc.nvm and creates one or more output files. Each file contains one
  51. image with associated header.
  52. # nvmsplit abc.nvm -v
  53. nvmsplit: abc.nvm --&gt; abc-00.nvm
  54. nvmsplit: abc.nvm --&gt; abc-01.nvm
  55. nvmsplit: abc.nvm --&gt; abc-02.nvm
  56. nvmsplit: abc.nvm --&gt; abc-03.nvm
  57. DISCLAIMER
  58. Atheros image file structure and content is proprietary to Qualcomm Atheros, Ocala FL USA. Consequently, public informa‐
  59. tion is not available. Qualcomm Atheros reserves the right to change file structure or content in future firmware
  60. releases without any obligation to notify or compensate users of this program. This program is reserved for use by
  61. Atheros Field Engineers. Use of this program may void some contractual obligations made by Atheros.
