iLiad < > eFlyBook - software differences
I had a quick look at the Arinc eFlyBook and I noticed that by 99.9% it uses the same software as the iLiad. In fact, the only difference is in /etc/er_registry.txt.
--- iRex iLiad: [USER_APPLICATIONS] uaIDList=BROWSER;XPDF;APABIMOBI;IMAGEVIEWER;SETUP; PROFILES;EBA Arinc eFlyBook: [USER_APPLICATIONS] uaIDList=BROWSER;XPDF;APABIMOBI;IMAGEVIEWER;SETUP; PROFILES;ARINC;EBA [ARINC] category=viewer arguments= exec=/media/card/arinc/bin/ereader_mapviewer xResourceName=arinc channel=13 extensions=ari;ARI --- The eFlyBook adds an extra menu item to start the Arinc Mapviewer application. What's interesting: the viewer is started from an external media location... |

well, the eFlyBook is another market.
But you're right, this isn't fair |

Unless you fake the MAC of your iLiad to one that's internally listed as a FlyBook on iDS; then you would download the FlyBook firmware and the rest should be easy ;-)
I can throw in a list of valid FlyBook MAC addresses... faking it would be another issue though. Perhaps through injection with Ettercap. |

I believe we would need MAC adresses and logins.
Changing the MAC adress during a Man-in-the-middle-attack should be possible - but i have no experience with ettercap. |

Note that arinc users will receive the updates of Arinc coming from/for the external media. So perhaps even a different update application could be called.

I thought so too first. But it appears only the map software is being supplied by Arinc; eFlyBook users still use iDS to update their reader.
But I find it very encouraging that at least some of us can run virtually *any* app just by this extra little entry in the registry file. |
