Dr. Christian Giessen 6dd976fcf6 Fix Type 12 SF field and sync TESTING.md
Type 12: SF is 4 bits (15-12), D is bit11 (not SF=3bits, D=bit12).
  Verified all 8 SF variants against assembler: LSHIFT/ASHIFT,
  HI/LO, plain/OR.  FIR output scaling chain now correct.

TESTING.md: Synced with actual verification status.
  34 of 37 types now assembler-verified.
  Only Type 22/22a (2-word data write), Type 31 (IDLE), and
  Type 32a (DAG store+transfer) remain structural-only.

Removed build artifacts (.o, .elf) from examples/build/.

ADSP-219x Reverse Engineering Toolkit

Radare2 architecture plugin and reference materials for reverse engineering ADSP-2191 firmware.

Contents

r2plugin/       Native radare2 arch plugin (C, GNU style)
examples/       ADSP-2191 assembly examples (FIR, IIR, FFT, Viterbi)
                + assembler-verified ISA test ROM
testrom/        Test ROM generator for plugin validation
docs/           Architecture reference, opcode tables, walkthrough guides

Quick Start

cd r2plugin && make && make install
r2 -a adsp219x -b 24 examples/isa_test.bin
[0x00000000]> pd 48

Requirements

  • Radare2 >= 5.8.0 (RArchPlugin API)
  • GCC

Plugin Status

Currently decodes: NOP, IDLE, Type 1 (multifunction), Type 3 (direct memory), Type 4 (compute + memory), Type 6/7 (immediate loads), Type 10/10a (jump/call), Type 17 (reg move), Type 20 (RTS/RTI).

Work in progress: Type 9/9a (standalone compute), Type 11 (DO UNTIL), Type 15 (shift), Type 18 (mode control), Type 25 (saturate).

Assembler

The examples were assembled with open21xx, an open-source assembler/linker for ADSP-218x/219x. Build instructions are in the open21xx README. The resulting ELF is converted to raw binary with dd (extract the int_pm section).
