pressing DISP button again results in:

For Developers[]
- The platform ID (P-ID) of the A530 is 3126 (Platform codes for other models can be looked up under P-ID).
With respect to the platform id, the A530 fits in between the A540 and the A710, so possibly it is similar to those firmwares. (Firmware is very similar to A700)

0xff800000: firmware flash data (probably) 0xffc00000: mirror copy of firmware flash? (to be determined)
