Is it possible to dynamically analyse the firmware of a ESP32 just with the default avatar2 tools? about avatar2 HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi, I depends on the ESP model you are using, some are using xtensa others (recent ones) Risc-V (and some have several cores some xtensa some Risc-V). Which model is your ESP32 exactly ?

Either way I don't think we have any specific support for xtensa or Risc-V for now, this would significantly limit what's possible to do. A support for those architectures would be very welcome :)

Hi! Thanks for your input! I have a NodeMCU-ESP-32S. How hard would it be to develop support for this architecture using existing code?

What is a cheap microcontroller which is supported by the avatar2 platform and can be used to learn about dynamic firmware analysis?

Hi, and thanks for your interest in avatar2!

As @aurelf mentioned, we currently don't have an ESP32 target. A lot of avatar2's original implementation and examples where done on top of STM32'2 Cortex-M3 MCUs, specifically on the NUCLEO-L152RE.
While these are currently unavailable in most stores, similar usually do work with avatar2 as well.
