I'll be running a hands-on two-hour #workshop on #firmware analysis at #DO_BYTE: https://fahrplan.do-byte.de/do-byte-2026/talk/N3WAVN/

Attendees will have the chance to experiment with real hardware to see how firmware can be modified and taken to another level.

Binary Analysis of Real x86 Firmware DO_BYTE (2026)

Language/Sprache: EN/DE (whatever people prefer / je nach Notwendigkeit) More or less trivially, we can dump firmware from flash chips on mainboards nowadays. But what do we do with it? Do we run it through `binwalk`, [MEAnalyzer](https://github.com/platomav/meanalyzer), [PSPTool](https://github.com/pspreverse/psptool), [UEFITool](https://uefitool.com/), [Fiedka](https://fiedka.app), [Fiano](https://github.com/linuxboot/fiano), [intel_fw](https://github.com/platform-system-interface/intel_fw)? Can we get anywhere with [Ghidra](https://github.com/nationalsecurityagency/ghidra)? Oh no, a rabbit hole 🐇🕳️! I have spent quite some time implementing and extending various tools to extract, analyze and modify firmware images, and will share my knowledge in this workshop. If you want, please bring your own hardware, and we will get you started! Otherwise, I will bring a reference platform, a not too recent Intel based HP mini computer, to look further into and tinker with. I will show both how to approach the hardware itself as well as how to parse and understand the firmware.

Dear #embedded system people, do you know about CMSIS System View Description format (CMSIS-SVD)? Have you seen it used for other microcontrollers that don't have an ARM Cortex-M processor(s) at their hearts? Is there something common that other (core?) vendors use? As it seems "CMSIS-SVD format is based on XML and was influenced by IP-XACT". I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Is it worth to convert the peripheral register info to SVD?

Espressif ESP32-E22 WiFi 6E module gets Wi-Fi CERTIFIED certificate, an open-source WiFi and Bluetooth Linux drivers

Espressif ESP32-E22 WiFi 6E module gets Wi-Fi CERTIFIED certificate, an open-source WiFi and Bluetooth Linux drivers

The ESP32-E22 tri-band Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4 module has received a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED certificate from the Wi-Fi Alliance, and Espressif has also released WiFi and Bluetooth Linux drivers for the chip. The ESP32-E22 was first unveiled at CES 2026 with a dual-core RISC-V processor clocked at up to 500 MHz, 1MB RAM, tri-band WiFi 6E tested up to 2.1 Gbps with iperf, and dual-mode Bluetooth 5.4/6.0. While it also features 41 GPIO pins, it's not mainly designed for IoT projects, but instead targets host-based wireless systems needing WiFi 6E / Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity through PCIe 2.0 or SDIO interfaces. In other words, the ESP32-E22 will likely show on M.2 modules, competing against similar products from MediaTek and Intel. Espressif has not said which module was tested for the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED certificate, but I suspect it should be the upcoming ESP32-E22-M2-1 M.2 module listed on the company's website. From the certificate,
