Annotated bootrom disassembly
Posted: Thu Jan 07, 2016 8:05 pm
I am getting ready to launch into a big project and want to find out what interest there may be, and more importantly what has already been done along these lines. I don't want to regenerate the wheel if it already has been done.
In particular, I want to make an intense study of the bootrom code. I played with objdump to disassemble it, then did some searching and found that a user "Kongo" had already done some careful work along this line. My game would be to study this in detail and add notes and annotation. I have done this in the past for other processors and have found it to be extremely useful and instructive. Actually I have already began a bit of this and placed it here:

I am busy on more.
