AFUA visited Thendic-France : Comment 187 of 629 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Samface on 25-Apr-2002 15:03 GMT | In reply to Comment 185 (Anders Kjeldsen): From the very same page:
"THE PRACTICE OF ROM DUMPING
ROM dumping first originated with program developers who wanted to examine the computer microcode stored within integrated circuits. You see, actual ROMs come in two flavors - programmable read-only memory (PROM) and erasable-programmable read-only memory (EPROM). PROMs are the most common - you "burn" in the code once and then forget about it. EPROMs, on the other hand, can be erased and "re-burned" with new code (for example, most BIOS chips are EPROMs). Regardless of which form you use, there is no way to get at the machine data code stored within the ROM once it is burned into those little black rectangles of silica and metal unless you come up with a way to download it from the chip itself. Downloading in this case refers to some kind of special interface linked to the ROM itself whereby its internal code can then be "dumped." The result is object code in software instead of hardware, which is easier by far for a developer to work with." |
