Dr. Christian Giessen adfc7b34b4 Fix Type 8 decode: correct all bitfield extractions
- DDREG: fixed to bits 7-4 (was bits 8-6, mixed XOP bit into dest)
- SDREG: fixed to bits 3-0 (was bits 5-0, included foreign bits)
- Dest/src registers now correctly use reg0[] table (was xop_alu[])
- NONE pattern: check full bits 7-0 == 0xAA (was only bits 5-0)
- XOP/YOP tables now follow AMF type (MAC vs ALU), not Z bit
- Output format: f(xop, yop), ddreg = sdreg (matches ADI syntax)
- Verified against assembler output for all three Type 8 variants:
  ALU+move, MAC+move, and NONE=ALU status-only
- Full regression: isa_test.bin, fir.bin, iir.bin all unchanged

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).
