ARM .bin code Emulation

[a-michelis]

Hello, everyone!

I'm trying to create a tool that emulates ARM code compiled for a specific SOC -I'm at the stage of research, at the moment.

From the information i gathered so far, in order to emulate ARM code designed for an SOC, I have to:

• Configure properly uc to run with ARM code
• Implement All (needed) SOC peripherals and properly map them to their respective regions
• Implement and map all registers
• Map the software's sections to their respective memory regions

The last step is the one I'm having the most trouble with:
Creating an .elf file loader doesn't seem to be an extremely difficult task, while the information an elf it provides allows me to discover all regions and map them properly.

What if i want to run a .bin file, tho?
What are the steps I should take to reach my end goal of emulating the software?

Thank you in advance!

*PS: If I missed steps, feel free to tell me, so I can further advance my understanding!

You should have a look at how Qiling does this: https://github.com/qilingframework/qiling/
