My Issue: The first firmware update is in what I gather from just reading the file with a hex editor , "compressed romfs". I would like to mount this firmware file on loopback if possible. If not possible , anyone know how to rip apart this firmware?


After some deeper digging I found an AV forum reference. Posting details here for posterity:

for extract the actual romfs from the firmware:

  #dd if=wdtv.bin of=wdtv.romfs bs=32 skip=1

to mount on Ubuntu 8.04:

  #mount -o loop wdtv.romfs mountpoint

Which mounts it as cramfs.

cheers
