Getting Started (Air-Gapped Deployment)

Prerequisites

  • Radare2 5.8.0+ (built from source on the target machine)
  • GCC (to compile the plugin)
  • Python 3 (optional, for test ROM generation)

Setup

  1. Copy the entire adsp219x-re/ directory to the air-gapped machine.

  2. Build and install the radare2 plugin:

     cd r2plugin
     make
     make install
    
  3. Verify installation:

     r2 -a adsp219x -b 24 -q -c "pd 10" examples/isa_test.bin
    

    You should see decoded instructions (NOP, AX0 = 0x1234, etc.).

Loading a ROM Dump

For a raw 24-bit packed binary (3 bytes per instruction, big-endian):

r2 -a adsp219x -b 24 firmware.bin

For a padded 32-bit dump (4 bytes per instruction with leading 0x00), strip the padding first or adjust the base offset manually.

Useful r2 Commands

pd 100          # Disassemble 100 instructions
s 0x200         # Seek to PM address 0x200 (byte offset 0x600)
/x 1c           # Search for JUMP opcodes (Type 10a prefix)
axt @@ sym.*    # Cross-references (after analysis)

Validation

Compare your disassembly against the reference examples in examples/. The isa_test.bin was assembled with the open21xx toolchain and contains verified opcodes for all major instruction types.
