- * --- ZyXEL header format ---
- * Original Version by Benjamin Berg <benjamin@sipsolutions.net>
- * C implementation based on generation-script by Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@gmail.com>
- *
- * The firmware image prefixed with a header (which is written into the MTD device).
- * The header is one erase block (~64KiB) in size, but the checksum only convers the
- * first 2KiB. Padding is 0xff. All integers are in big-endian.
- *
- * The checksum is always a 16-Bit System V checksum (sum -s) stored in a 32-Bit integer.
- *
- *   4 bytes:  checksum of the rootfs image
- *   4 bytes:  length of the contained rootfs image file (big endian)
- *  32 bytes:  Firmware Version string (NUL terminated, 0xff padded)
- *   4 bytes:  checksum over the header partition (big endian - see below)
- *  64 bytes:  Model (e.g. "NBG6617", NUL termiated, 0xff padded)
- *   4 bytes:  checksum of the kernel partition
- *   4 bytes:  length of the contained kernel image file (big endian)
- *      rest:  0xff padding (To erase block size)
- *
- * The kernel partition checksum and length is not used for every device.
- * If it's notused, pad those 8 bytes with 0xFF.
- *
- * The checksums are calculated by adding up all bytes and if a 16bit
- * overflow occurs, one is added and the sum is masked to 16 bit:
- *   csum = csum + databyte; if (csum > 0xffff) { csum += 1; csum &= 0xffff };
- * Should the file have an odd number of bytes then the byte len-0x800 is
- * used additionally.
- *
- * The checksum for the header is calculated over the first 2048 bytes with
- * the rootfs image checksum as the placeholder during calculation.
- *
- * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
- * under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 as published
- * by the Free Software Foundation.
