Auto-download firmware from OpenIPC when -f is omitted#4
Merged
Conversation
When no firmware file is specified with -f, defib now automatically downloads the appropriate U-Boot binary from OpenIPC releases. Supports 26 chip models with caching to avoid re-downloads. CLI: defib burn -c hi3516ev300 -p /dev/ttyUSB0 (downloads u-boot-hi3516ev300-universal.bin automatically) defib burn -c hi3516ev300 -f my-custom.bin -p /dev/ttyUSB0 (uses local file as before) WebUI: Chip selection now shows "Download from OpenIPC" button when a pre-built firmware is available. Users can still pick a local file for custom builds. - firmware.py: download, cache, URL resolution, chip aliases - Cache: ~/.cache/defib/firmware/ (Linux), ~/Library/Caches/ (macOS) - 11 new tests for firmware module Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

CLI — just specify chip and port:
defib burn -c hi3516ev300 -p /dev/ttyUSB0 # Downloads u-boot-hi3516ev300-universal.bin from OpenIPC, caches it, flashesWebUI — one-click download button appears when chip is selected:
Select chip → "Download U-Boot for hi3516ev300" button → Start Recovery
Local file still works:
