External flash

External 256kbytes flash is a unique feature of the RDV4 edition.

Addresses

Flash memory is

  • 256KB (0x40000= 262144)
  • divided into 4 pages of 64KB (0x10000 = 65536)
  • 4 pages divided into 16 sectors of 4KB (0x1000 = 4096), so last sector is at 0x3F000

Therefore a flash address can be interpreted as such:

0xPSxxx       e.g. 0x3FF7F
  ^ page             ^ page 3
   ^ sector           ^ sector 0xF
    ^^^ offset         ^^^ offset 0xF7F

  • to dump it: mem dump -f page3_dump -o 196608 -l 65536
  • to erase it:
    • Beware it will erase your flash signature so better to back it up first as you won't be able to regenerate it by yourself!
    • edit the source code to enable Page 3 as a valid input in the mem wipe command.
    • Updating keys dictionaries doesn't require to erase page 3.

Page3 Layout

^Top

Page3 is used as follows by the Proxmark3 RDV4 firmware:

  • RSA SIGNATURE, see below for details
    • offset: page 3 sector 15 (0xF) offset 0xF7F @ 30x10000+150x1000+0xF7F=0x3FF7F (decimal 262015)
    • length: 128 bytes
    • offset should have been 0x3FF80 but historically it's one byte off and therefore the last byte of the flash is unused

RSA signature

^Top

To ensure your Proxmark3 RDV4 is not a counterfeit product, its external flash contains a RSA signature of the flash unique ID. You can verify it with: mem info

Here below is a sample output of a RDV4 device.
