I think I saw your tweet about getting nerd-sniped into figuring this out. Or was that another component?
What would be the reason for the pseudorandom ROM order? Just a side effect of the PC choice or deliberate?
sidenote: interesting that two sentences into your response I knew exactly what name I was going to see as the author. Thanks for the work you're doing and especially for documenting it. I've been reversing my old DSL-modem to pass time during lockdowns and since it's an obscure, asic based model it's highly educational to see you talk about figuring out things living on the hard/software boundary.
- marcan_42 5y agoIt was this :) The pseudorandom ROM order is just a consequence of using an LFSR as a counter, since it counts in pseudorandom order. I'm glad you enjoy what I'm doing! It's a lot of fun being able to work on a project like this, and I'm glad some of it is educational for other folks.
