Interesting Reference Material
- Introduction to SAMSUNG's Linux Flash File System - RFS
- Linux RFS ( Robust FAT File System ) Porting Guide
The file-system used in the the recent Samsung TVs is "RFS". Its proprietary nature and consequently so the absence of an according Linux RFS-Module in the standard Linux distributions makes it currently impossible to modify files by simply mounting the respective image as "RW", modifying it and saving the respective image again. This is the reason why currently all changes are done via patching of the image-binaries.
All the source code Samsung is legally obliged to post can be found here.
Should be able to find useful info somewhere.
