Installation

NuGet Package

Install-Package FirmwareKit.Payload

Build from Source

git clone https://github.com/Uotan-Dev/FirmwareKit.Payload.git
cd FirmwareKit.Payload
dotnet build FirmwareKit.Payload/FirmwareKit.Payload.csproj -c Release

Usage

Basic Usage

using FirmwareKit.Payload;

// Get payload metadata from local file
var metadata = PayloadParser.GetPayloadMetadata("payload.bin");

// Get partition information
var partitions = PayloadParser.GetPartitionInfo("payload.bin");

// Extract all partitions
PayloadParser.Extract("payload.bin", outputDir: "./output");

// Extract specific partitions
PayloadParser.Extract("payload.bin", new[] { "boot", "system" }, "./output");

Remote URL Support

// Get metadata from remote URL
var metadata = await PayloadParser.GetPayloadMetadataFromUrlAsync("https://example.com/update.zip");

// Extract partitions from remote URL
await PayloadParser.ExtractFromUrlAsync("https://example.com/update.zip", outputDir: "./output");

// Extract only boot partitions
await PayloadParser.ExtractBootFromUrlAsync("https://example.com/update.zip", "./output");
