libpit: describe more parts of pit header 
The unknown string is "COM_TAR2" in all devices I have access to.  The
last unknown 4 bytes might be some sort of version, in old devices it
is 0000, in Galaxy S6 0003, in Galaxy S7 and S8 0004 and in Galaxy S9
and tab S6 lite 0005.

The CPU/bootloader string looks something like:

* LSI5410 - Seen in Exynos 5420, 5433 devices (and perhaps others)
* LSI7420 - Seen in Exynos 7420, 8890, 8895 devices (and perhaps others)
* LSI7880 - Seen in a5y17lte (exynos 7880)
* LSI9610 - Seen in gta4xl (exynos 9611)
* LSI9810 - Seen in star2lte (exynos 9810)
* Mx      - Seen in Galaxy S3 (device codename is m0/m3)
* MSM8916 - Seen in MSM8916 devices
* MSM8960 - Seen in jflte (and probably in others, jflte has a APQ8064AB CPU)

Heimdall

Heimdall is a cross-platform open-source tool suite used to flash firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung mobile devices.

Supported Platforms

Heimdall should work on AMD64/x86-64 (64-bit) or x86 (32-bit) computers running GNU/Linux, macOS or Windows.

However, several third-parties have reported success running Heimdall on ARM chipsets (in particular Raspberry Pi), as well as additional operating systems such as FreeBSD.

How does Heimdall work?

Heimdall connects to a mobile device over USB and interacts with low-level software running on the device, known as Loke. Loke and Heimdall communicate via the custom Samsung-developed protocol typically referred to as the 'Odin 3 protocol'.

USB communication in Heimdall is handled by the popular open-source USB library, libusb.

Free & Open Source

Heimdall is both free and open source. It is licensed under the MIT license (see LICENSE).

Heimdall is maintained and predominantly developed by Glass Echidna, a tiny independent software development company. If you appreciate our work and would like to support future development please consider making a donation.
