Yeah... did that last year... Had to fix the bootloader for one of our legacy cameras that hadn't been touched in 10 years.
Toolchain: I found multiple pieces scattered on servers and backups of former colleagues' computers.
Sourcecode: Multiple source-tree copies + Git-conversions of the SourceSafe copies... None of which produced the exact bootloader that we used in production...
In the end I reverse engineered the toolchain and the sourcecode to the point that I got a binary identical binary (minus timestamps). :blobcatuwu:
