Inception

Inception is a framework for advanced dynamic analyses of embedded systems firmware programs. It's split in three main parts which are :

• Inception-debugger : allow near real-time communication with device under test
• Inception-Analyzer : execute IR code in a symbolic virtual machine
• Inception-Compiler : compile C/CPPP/S source files in LLVM IR

This project is used to send command to the Inception-debugger in order to communicate with the real hardware to use real hardware peripherals or get hardware interrupts.

How to use

This project supports 3 execution mode :

• As a C library where the entry point is src/superspeedjtag.cpp
• With a python interactive mode, see src/interactive.py
• As a stand-alone program : ./Debug/inception

Python

You can use rlwrap if installed to get a real Python console. $ rlwrap python3.5 interactive.py

Stand Alone

Different arguments are supported :

• -Debug, verbose information
• -Debug2, more verbose information
• -info, retrieve the IDCODE of the MPU after the reset command
• --benchmark_io, test READ/WRITE commands 100 000 times with random value
• -Some other tests are available, check the code ;-)
