    7 title: Broadcom BCM47xx Partitions
    8 
    9 description: |
   10   Broadcom is one of hardware manufacturers providing SoCs (BCM47xx) used in
   11   home routers. Their BCM947xx boards using CFE bootloader have several
   12   partitions without any on-flash partition table. On some devices their sizes
   13   and/or meanings can also vary so fixed partitioning can't be used.
   14 
   15   Discovering partitions on these devices is possible thanks to having a special
   16   header and/or magic signature at the beginning of each of them. They are also
   17   block aligned which is important for determinig a size.
   18 
   19   Most of partitions use ASCII text based magic for determining a type. More
   20   complex partitions (like TRX with its HDR0 magic) may include extra header
   21   containing some details, including a length.
   22 
   23   A list of supported partitions includes:
   24   1) Bootloader with Broadcom's CFE (Common Firmware Environment)
   25   2) NVRAM with configuration/calibration data
   26   3) Device manufacturer's data with some default values (e.g. SSIDs)
   27   4) TRX firmware container which can hold up to 4 subpartitions
   28   5) Backup TRX firmware used after failed upgrade
   29 
   30   As mentioned earlier, role of some partitions may depend on extra
   31   configuration. For example both: main firmware and backup firmware use the
   32   same TRX format with the same header. To distinguish currently used firmware a
   33   CFE's environment variable "bootpartition" is used.
