Waris Programing Block

Programing block

The programing block is the next block after the tuning and FDB blocks, typically starting at 0x300. The programing block is made up of "chonks" which are variable length packed data types. These chonks are laid out following the Table of Contents block and enabled based on the TOC header. Chonks are identified based on their order in the TOC header, which is not in order in the address space of the codeplug.

A chonk typically has it's own format, and the code plug version determines what formats the chonks follow. Chonks can further be subdivided into wads which would be the rows of ordered data in a list. Chonks are checksum(8) including the header and checksum byte to make 0x5A. Block 15 doesn't follow this.

Programing Magic

This is a magic number of 0x0400 that identifies the start of the programing block

Programing Length

This is the length of the programing block. To calculate the absolute position in the codeplug, add 0x300 to it

example it's 0x0972 and the programming block starts at 0x0300  
0x972+300 = 0x0C72, so the programing block runs from 0x300:C72 and will have a checksum8 of 0x5A

Programing TOC Header Start

This is a pointer to the TOC Header start address, it is an absolute value from the start of the codeplug.

Programing TOC Start

This is a pointer to the Programing Table of Contents, it is an absolute value from the start of the codeplug.

Programing TOC Header

This is a block of programing data which tells what blocks are enabled in the TOC.

A typical block will be as follows:
000A03FFDF03FF7F3FAF

Broken out:  
000A 03FFDF03FF7F3F AF

000A is the length of the block,  10d bytes including header and checksum
AF is the checksum byte which makes the checksum8 of the block 0x5A

0x03FFDF03FF7F3F is the bit map of what chonks are enabled in the codeplug TOC

03 is the first 0-7 chonks 
0000 0011 - 03 
7654 3210 - chonks enabled

FF is the next 8-F
1111 1111 - FF
FEDC BA98 

DF is the 10-17 chonks        
1101 1111 - DF
7654 3210 - chonks enabled

03 is the 18-1F chonks
0000 0011 - 03 
FEDC BA98 - chonks enabled

FF is the next 20-27
1111 1111 - FF
7654 3210 - chonks enabled

7F is the 28-2F chonks
0111 1111 - 7F 
FEDC BA98 - chonks enabled

3F is the 30-37 chonks
0011 1111 - 3F 
7654 3210 - chonks enabled

The way this works is if a bit is 1, that block is active in the programing code plug 
and the TOC will have the address of it's start.  If it's set to 0 the block is not used, but may be present in the code plug and may have the pointer set to 0x0000 if it's not present.

Programing TOC

This will be a block that varies in length, and the first 2 bytes will be the number of 2 byte addresses in the list.

0036 0282 02D8 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 - 6   110 0000 
0000 0308 0315 034B 0354 03D3 03E5 04D8 - 14 0111 1111
04BC 0657 064B 0817 07E0 067F 0000 068F - 22 1111 1101
03AF 0369 03C8 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 - 30 1110 0000 
0000 06B7 06BF 06F6 06DA 0711 0729 0740 - 38 0111 1111
095B 0839 084A 0946 0858 0867 08A6 0939 - 46 1111 1111
0000 07C3 0802 075C 0770 0792 07A9 04   - 53 0111 111

In the above block, 0x0036 is the number of items in the list, 54.  
The final byte is a checksum byte baking the blocks checksum8 0x5A.

The total block length will be the number of items * 2 + 3  In this case the block is 111 bytes long.  

The list is list of absolute pointers from the beginning of the file to each block.  Note that both feature blocks are identified here.   
The first block is 0x282, or FDB1, 0x2D8 is FDB2,
