🎀 I2M18467(1) 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the I2M18467(1) page, living in the GNU Info section of your manual shelf. pull up a chair, we're talking iSight firmware 💖

✨ NAME ✨

ift-export.info — ift-export.info

🦋 Built-in iSight firmware export 🦋

so here's the tea: ift-export takes a Built-in iSight firmware that was produced by ift-extract and converts it into an Intel HEX file. cute, right? 💅

but wait. plot twist. Apple's Built-in iSight lowkey seems to have extended on-chip memory, and this case is not handled by fxload — which means you literally cannot load that Intel HEX file into the chip that way. not me finding that out the hard way 😭

if you wanna get the firmware onto the chip, use ift-load to load the binary firmware directly on-chip. periodt.

✨ 1 Command line options ✨

three little flags, all iconic 👑

  • -i, --input-firmware — the driver filename you want to export to an Intel HEX file. like, the source of the whole operation 🫶
  • -o, --output — the output Intel HEX filename. this is where the magic lands ✨
  • -?, --help — shows option help and then quits. your little safety net 🌸
