Rohan Paul@rohanpaul_ai · X一位用户展示了一款从AliExpress购买的廉价MP3播放器，它存在蓝牙音频卡顿和菜单操作不便的问题。用户将设备芯片的照片提供给OpenAI的Codex进行分析。Codex随后引导用户通过Mac设备提取了播放器的完整固件文件。Codex分析了该固件的机器代码，定位到导致问题的具体代码段，并生成了一个修复了蓝牙问题并优化了菜单导航的定制固件。用户将此固件刷写回设备后，问题得到解决。此案例具体体现了AI工具在处理底层硬件调试与定制化开发任务中的潜力。
Such a great example of the power of OpenAI's Codex.
He showed Codex a photo of the chip of the MP3 player， which was having some problems.
Codex guided him to put the MP3 player into bootloader mode on a Mac.
In that mode the Mac can read the entire firmware （the player's operating system） straight from the device's flash memory. He ran the commands Codex gave him and the Mac dumped the full binary file.
He fed that binary back to Codex. Codex analyzed the machine code， found the exact sections causing the problems， then generated a patched custom firmware with the fixes and gave it back to him. problem solved.
