Hello fedi!

I have an .MVAX #firmware #update file for an MV Silicon chip (unknown model).

Has someone already encountered those? And if yes, is there some documentation, tooling or existing #ReverseEngineering work done of that format?

For the record, the file magic (first 8 bytes) is as follow:
4D 56 B5 58 05 01 13 00

And the end of the file contains the following (no spaces, wrapping is mine):

MVSKeyFileMVBP10<0x90>0xBE>SIMPLEs
<0xD3><0x9A>.<0x90><0xD9>
MVSILICONKEYFL<0x00><0x00>
<0xFF><0xBD><0x00>0x00>

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Data centers are one of the biggest reasons for carbon emissions. 

Why can't we create new image, video, and other file formats that are more efficient for saving storage and power in data centers?

I released an update to my libE57Format library—version 3.3—to fix some build warnings & to update the build system (cmake)🏗️.

It is a C++ library which provides read & write support for the ASTM-standard E57 file format on Linux, macOS, and Windows. E57 files store 3D point cloud data, attributes associated with 3D point data (color & intensity), and 2D images (photos).
