Thank you for noticing. I've edited the post.

I just noticed that, supposedly, only 965 people have downloaded nBoot, but 1216 people have downloaded controlx. How does that make sense?!

ControlX was updated several times.
Unlike nBoot.

Attached is an early beta build of ControlX 4.5.1.

controlx4.5.1.zip

Supposed now to fully support Boot2 4.4.0.8 in addition to Boot2 4.0.3.49. Borrows some values from parrotgeek1's nLoader.
Thus you should now be getting Ndless auto-install and all needed OS patches whether booting on Boot2 4.0.3.49 or 4.4.0.8.

For now, only for testing on emulators, that's why I'm posting it here instead of updating the file linked in the 1st post.

No reason to update if you already have a working nBoot+ControlX setup.
Especially since both Boot2 4.0.3.49 and 4.4.0.8 are perfectly compatible with CX revisions A-V.

In the best case, you won't be getting anything more/better.
Just made it because it's possible/interesting.

Nice method of combining the 2 ndless loaders. I didn't think of that.

FYI, here is how to find the prestage in any boot2:

Open the boot2 in IDA
Edit idafindfunctions.py to have "ea = 0x11800000"
run idafindfunctions.py in IDA
Open the "names view" and sort it alphabetically
Search for "aBoot2LoadingCo"

For EACH of those results (there should be 2, one with _0), click on it and type X. You will see an address where "Loading complete"...etc" is loaded into a register, followed by a call to an identical subroutine in both instances. The address with the string load instruction is where the prestage should be copied.

Example:

Code: Select all: RAM:1187D300 LDR R0, =aBoot2LoadingCo ; "\r\nBOOT2: loading complete (%d ticks),"... RAM:1187D304 BL sub_118D08E4

P.S. I have a CX now!

Very interesting, thank you for your comprehensive post.

By the way, any way to launch nLoader images from ControlX ? (another useless thing, but again it's still better to support as many things as possible

).
"ldr ptr,=0x111C0000" after extracting the image to the provided address doesn't seem to be enough, but maybe I made something wrong.

Probably; I have no idea why that wouldn't work.

The 3.9.1 patcher didn't work and was deleted.

Also, deadmeatpt's 4.5 patcher has a lot of bugs. Use the one in my repo instead

Finally you launched a official 4.5 patch

not my stolen-from-you buggy stuff.

Salut,
j'ai récemment installé controlx et il marche parfaitement, cependant, quand je tente de lancer linux (la version dont le lien est proposé dans le tuto) un mot de passe et un login me sont demandés. Est-ce normal ? Comment accéder au "bureau" linux ?
Merci d'avance
