***quick intro to the kitchen v1.0 for nec mobilepro 900c***


what you need
- kitchen package where this readme is included.
- romtools package: http://hpcmonex.net/izemize/docs/romtoolpack.zip
- if xipport doesn't run: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=200b2fd9-ae1a-4a14-984d-389c36f85647&displaylang=en

how to use the kitchen
- please read the rom editing document in romtools package
- the essential stuff is (very) briefly listed below

1) explanation to folders
- base rom: includes base rom NB0 and the dumped files, and main tools to edit it
- registry: base registry and initobj files to work with and stock registry too
- packages: packaged up rom files, hopefully useful!
- addon updates: whatever addons or updates i released to cmonex v2.0
- convert BIN tools: tools to convert to flashable format and example bin

2) using the tools
1. dump rom with xipport to OUT folder (done for you for the base rom already)
2. add/remove/modify files using base rom, packages and base registry as guidelines, use dumpromx when needed
3. build the new rom with xipport
4. convert it to XIP.BIN using xipbin (there is an example BIN for the base rom already)
5. have fun

3) the steps: 
more details in rom editing tutorial in romtools package.
please read at least dumpromx and xipport usage descriptions.

1.: run xipport for the NB0 named xip.bin (not the same as the XIP.BIN for flashing), use "dump xip.bin" option, will create OUT folder
2.: edit OUT folder and optionally romhdr.txt. to compress your new/modified files use dumpromx (see tutorial).
3.: run xipport for OUT folder, use "realloc P" then use "build xip_out.bin" and the resulting xip_out.bin is the new rom.
4.: this consists of more steps: 
- run this command with xipbin.exe in cmd: xipbin xip_out.bin 0 XIP.BIN 84080000 (where "xip_out.bin" is the image built by xipport)
- cut last 12 bytes of the XIP.BIN in a hexeditor
- attach the kernel BIN from "kernel binary" folder to the end of the OS part in a hexeditor
- finally, edit the four bytes referring to the image size (12th-15th bytes at the start of the whole BIN) to say 28 05 1E 0C
5.: heh.

4) errors in first version of kitchen:
- the .nlp files in bsquare pim package are supposed to belong to .net cf according to TFGBD.
- the system files package will be packaged up better later.
