[+] Toolchain overview

The toolchain identification module aggregates multiple sources to help the tester in getting a better understanding of the toolchain that was used to compile/build the firmware.

For this process EMBA aggregates the following details:

    * The identified kernel version

    * Identifies the kernel release date - getting an idea on how old the used Linux kernel really is

    * EMBA extracts the GCC version from a kernel identifier string

    * EMBA extracts the GCC version from the firmware binaries

    * Uses an already identified libstdc++ for further GCC identification

    * Identifies the GCC release date - getting an idea on how old the used toolchain really is

    * EMBA extracts the binary flags from the firmware binaries

The following details will help the tester for a better understanding of the original firmware build process. Additionally, these details can support the tester during the build process of a well fitting cross-compilation toolchain.

[+] Identified kernel version 2.6.33.2 which was released on 01-Apr-2010 - no kernel configuration available.

[+] Identified the following used binary flags:

    MIPSR3000

The shown toolchain details can help in building a working buildchain for building working binaries and libraries.

Multiple examples of such a build process are collected in the EMBA wiki
