hasu:
This is a thread to share info and discuss about Hacking HHKB Professional Classic(and Hybrid possibly).

I'll keep this first post updated for useful resources regularly. Post your findings!

Topics I'm for one mainly interested.
- Open source firmware for stock controller
- Firmware update protocol of PFU tool
- Custom controller and its firmware

Keymap format in Flash/EEPROM:
------------------------------
Keymap is comprised of 128 bytes and defines 61 keys in first 64 bytes, followed by 64-byte '0x00'.

This is dump of 256 bytes from eeprom, for example. It define 2 layers for HHKB mode.

Boot Sequence
-------------
The device is configured with BFB2=0, nBOOT1=1 in option bytes and BOOT0 pin is pulled low(BOOT0=0) and it should boot at Bank1 on Flash memory.

With HHKB STM32 standard Dual bank boot sequence is not enabled(BFB2=0), it boots always from Bank1 and firmware on Bank1 checks Bank2 firmware inegrity and execute it somehow probably.
If Bank2 firmware is not valid Bank1 firmware continues to run anyway instead.

Bank1: original firmware and not updated? firmware linked with 0x0800 0000
Bank2: The latest firmware which usually runs and updated by Bank1 firmeware. firmware linked with 0x0801 0000

PFU firmeare is not compatible with STM32 dual-bank boot sequence by System bootloader



RM0376 3.3.2
When the BFB2 bit is set and the boot pins are configured to boot from Flash memory
(BOOT0 = 0 and BOOT1 = x), the device maps the System memory at address 0. Bootloader runs after reset and check Bank2 first and then Bank1.
When Bank2 is valid Bootloader sets UFB in SYSCFG_CFGR1 to map Bank2 at address 0x0800 0000(bank swap) and jump there.
When Bank2 is not valid and Bank1 is valid  Bootloader keeps UFB 0 and jump to Bank1 at 0x0800 0000.
When both banks are not valid Bootloader continues to run for progamming Flash memory.



On-the-fly live update
----------------------
The goal of the live field upgrade is to make the transition to a new code version without
going through the system reset.

Codes in both banks are normally linked to start at address 0x0800 0000: AN4767 3.1.1
By bank swap Bank1 or Bank2 can be mapped at 0x0800 0000 depending on UFB setting.

Concerns about transition of execution from one bank to another: AN4767 4
Both banks have unmodifiable and fixed code section which keeps stack at the lowest as possible to make the transition.
Remember that having identical source code does not implicate that identical binary codes
will be generated. It is better to generate a library to be linked to all future versions, or
preserve an object file, or (perhaps) even carefully edit the resulting binary

It is comprised of two memory bank.

    0ffff

    Second part 64KB

Firwmware is common for both US and JP layout and has different keymaps for them.
US keymaps is located around 0x0000cd20 while JP is around 0x0000c300.

Version of original firmware
    0x0000 c100     0b 04 01 06     B4.1.6 (bank1)
    0x0001 c150     0a 04 02 06     A4.2.6 (bank2)



EEPROM
------
It seems like keymap is stored in EEPROM. DIP switch key configuration affects on keymap in EEPROM.
It seems to have key sense calibration data in EEPROM also. After EEPROM broken accidentally some keys never been released. Restoring original EEPROM data cured the issue.

keymaps(128 byte per layer):

    0x0000 HHK default
    0x0080 HHK Fn

hasu:
Crack open your HHKB and void warranty!

crsayen:
Awesome work! I cracked open my board earlier today and started looking at the firmware in ghidra. It looks like you are way ahead of me!

I will be spending some time on this tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing your findings!

crsayen:
I have a lot of "source" code for a certain keymapping tool. I am adding some relevant files here.

if anyone wants to see more files, download dotPeek and open the exe.

Gondolindrim:
I'm curious as to why they went with a dual-bank MCU this time. Honestly I don't think it's needed for this application, but maybe a little bit more hacking into the firmware might tell us

Nice job as always, Hasu
