Firmware and codeplugs for handheld radios
Flash firmware and read or write codeplugs on TYT, Baofeng, Radioddity, Yaesu and Ailunce handhelds, over USB, a programming cable or Bluetooth. It also tells you what a file is before you trust it.

What it does
USB, a cable or Bluetooth
TYT radios in DFU mode over USB, the UV-5R family over a serial cable, and the UV-17Pro and UV-5R Mini over Bluetooth LE, which needs no cable at all.
Look before you flash
Says what a firmware file is and what a codeplug holds with no radio attached, and reads the firmware back out of a radio as a backup. Commands that write only check unless you give them --write.
Build and take apart firmware
Wraps raw segments into a firmware file for a radio, unwraps one back into its segments, and guesses the XOR key of a firmware nobody has looked at yet.
With your agent
The agent can run fw-info, codeplug-info, wrap, unwrap, make-xor and models, none of which need a radio attached.
