There are no sections, no symbols, and often no clear format - just raw bytes.</p> <p>In this post, I’ll walk through the process of reversing a simple ARM Cortex-M3 (ARMv7-M) firmware image using Ghidra, mapping memory regions, identifying initialization routines, and making sense of global variables.</p>
