Python Tools for Motorola M110

While prototyping and debugging Motorola's M110 some python tools were developed:

check_bin.py
do_bin.py
eeprom2cheader.py
menu.py
tests_m110.py

There are also a couple folders:

eeprom_binaries
motorola

Next, follows an explanation of the above files and folders:

check_bin.py

Outputs to the screen the information of a Motorola eeprom binary data file (retrieved with a eeprom reader - eg: TL866ii plus)

[...]$ ./check_bin.py eeprom_binaries/auchan.bin

do_bin.py

Creates, programmatically, a eeprom binary (.bin) file. User should edit the script and change the values as needed. The resulting file could be programmed into an eeprom via a programmer.

eeprom2cheader.py

Creates a header (.h) file to be used by a c program with an array which is initialized with the eeprom binary file contents. Can be used as a starting point (default values) for a the eeprom content.

Output example:

unsigned char rom_init[128] = {
   0x52,0x53,0x41,0x31,0x35,0x32,0x35,0x45,

tests_m110.py

Runs tests on motorola python class located in motorola folder.

eeprom_binaries folder

This folder contains some eeprom binaries, some read from the radio, some generated.

It may also include header files generated with eeprom2cheader.py.

motorola folder

This folder contains python classes and methods that replicate M110 firmare operations with a real eeprom but operate with an array that represents an eeprom.

Composed by 2 files, eeprom.py and m110.py.
