ESP Firmware Image Support about scratchabit HOT 3 OPEN

Just use common sense: what's your aim - writing loaders? Or reverse engineer a firmware? ;-) The quickest solution is the best. YMMV

ScratchABit is a completely generic solution, operated by plugins. As long as you have (written) suitable loader plugin, it will load anything. ELF loader is nothing but a plugin shipped with the main repo. For simple formats (no symbolic relocations, etc.), you can just split images to raw binary sections (by any tools you like) and load where needed.

The original motivation for writing ScratchABit was reverse-engineering ESP8266 code. See example project at https://github.com/pfalcon/xtensa-subjects

Alright, I'll take a look at that. It looks like in your project rather than writing a whole loader you're just importing the scratchabit module and calling it on blobs of extracted ROM dump. Would you recommend that I start that way, or would it be better to write a proper loader that understood the images?
