Toniebox Hacking – How to get started

Over the last three years we, the Team RevvoX (formed in Nov. 2019) came up with a lot of information regarding all the possibilities that can be done with Tonieboxes besides the origin features.

We achieved to bring, own content, own NFC tags, customization and even some hardware mods to the Toniebox. In addition we have supported a lot of repairs for otherwise ‚dead‘ boxes with our knowledge of the different revisions of the PCB to check or exchange the right components (we even have a complete reverse engineered hardware layout within our wiki).

Within this Blog Post I would like to give a short introduction to all new community members that are interested in tinkering with the new toy that their children got for Christmas or any other occasion.

A step by Step Guide to implement your own custom RFID tags.

ATTENTION: IF YOU ARE NEW TO TONIEBOX HACKING YOU WILL FIND A BETTER INTRODUCTION AND MORE UPDARTED VERSION HERE: „Toniebox Hacking – How to get started„. This article is very interesting due to the detailed information, as well, but you should start with the other blog post!

This Chip consists of a total of 40 bytes length. 8 bytes are used for the UID, a unique identifier, and 32 bytes are used within the tag memory (4 blocks with 8 bytes each). The UID, like it is said by the U for unique is a identification number that only exists once within the whole Tonie universe (or only once within the RFID Standard according to NXP).

This time they are not just decoding and encoding their own custom audio files, but in addition they show how to get the files onto the SD-Card AND use a 3rd party NFC tag to play their own custom audio content. All this is done on a Toniebox without any firmware modification.
