Firmware Reverse Engineering

Reverse-engineering workflow for embedded firmware portability analysis.

Purpose

Generate a dependency map and portability assessment for embedded firmware.

Workflow

1. Identify MCU/SoC and board details (clocks, memory, peripherals).
2. List toolchains, SDKs, and build system.
3. Map peripheral use (GPIO, SPI, I2C, UART, ADC, timers).
4. Extract initialization sequences and runtime constraints.
5. Flag hardware-specific dependencies and vendor HAL usage.
