#160911 - The Disassembler... Responding to: ???'s previous message |
The disassembler will permit you to get assembly language mnemonics that correspond to the hex (or equivalent binary) code. You cannot restore to the original C code so don't even bet on that being a possibility.
It is a legitimate question to ask why you believe you have to reverse assemble/compile some 8051 code. There are a few plausibly legal and/or reasonable justifications to do this. On the other hand there are a whole slew of reasons that fall into the categories of not allowed by license, unethical or flat out illegal. I would ask that you look carefully at your intent and do the right thing. Almost all professional embedded code developers will tell you that it is a total waste of time to try to disassemble a hex/binary code image. If you have any innate capability to perceive what the functions of the hex/binary code actually are and if you know what you are doing as a legitimate developer it is way faster to design your own source code to do the same job. If you fit into a contrary category it is easy to wonder as to the legitimacy of a request to disassemble binary/hex code from an embedded device. Michael Karas |
