0x4 0x4 "Segment offset" for export

Indexed Export Table entry (4 bytes)

0x0 0x4 "Segment offset" for export

Named Import Table entry (8 bytes)

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 Name offset
0x4 0x4 Offset of the head of a linear list that contains the patches for this import

Indexed Import Table entry (8 bytes)

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 index of the export symbol

Anonymous Import Table entry (8 bytes)

0x4 0x4 Offset of the head of a linear list that contains the patches for this import

Import Module Table entry (20 bytes)

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 Module name offset
0x4 0x4 Indexed import num
0x8 0x4 Offset of the head of a sub list in Indexed Import Table
0xC 0x4 Anonymous import num
0x10 0x4 Offset of the head of a sub list in Anonymous Import Table

Patch entry (12 bytes)

Offset Size Description
0x0 0x4 "Segment offset" for output.
0x4 0x1 Patch type (0=nothing/ignore, 2=38=write u32 absolute (base+addend), 3=write u32 relative (base+addend-in_ptr), 10=THUMB branch, 28=ARM32 branch, 29=modify ARM32 branch offset, 42=write u32 relative (((signed int)base*2)/2+addend-in_ptr), otherwise err) (This is apparently a subset of relocation type for ARM ELF)
0x5 0x1 For import patches, non-zero if last entry; for relocation patches, this is the referred segment index
0x6 0x1 For import patches, 1 is written to first entry if all symbols loaded successfully; unknown (padding?) for relocation patches
0x7 0x1 Unknown (padding?)
0x8 0x4 addend

ARM32 branch instruction is constructed as follows:

 If addend > 0x2000000 or addend < 0xFE000000, then skip.
 If (addend&1) == 1 then write "b +4" (nop).
 Else write as normal.

CRO with extension .cro is used for "DLLs". CRS with extension .crs is in the same format of CRO but storing the symbol information of the static module (the main application). The end of the file is aligned to a 0x1000-byte boundary with 0xCC bytes.

The first hash-table entry hashes the 0x100-byte header following the hash-table. The following hash-table entries hash the sections specified in the header.

When the RO module loads the entire CRO into process memory(mapped in the 0x00100000-0x04000000 region), it modifies the mapped CRO data. The magic field is also changed to "FIXD" if fix level is not 0.

Upon loading, the RO module will look for export symbol "nnroAeabiAtexit_" to patch it to its import symbol "__aeabi_atexit".

For dumping symbols and loading a CRO into IDA, see [1] and [2].
