BINLens v1.0

BINLens v1.0

MVP release for STM32-class firmware inspection.

Highlights:

• Intel HEX parser for records 00, 01, 02, 04, and 05 with checksum validation.
• Raw .bin loader with configurable base address.
• Address-sorted memory reconstruction with gap and overlap reporting.
• Overlap classification as identical or conflicting.
• Shannon entropy per region and per fixed-size chunk.
• ASCII entropy heatmap via --heatmap.
• ARM Cortex-M vector table detection with confidence scoring.
• Fixture-based C test suite and documented test workflow.

Artifacts:

• binlens-v1.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz: Docker-built static Linux x86_64 binary.
• binlens-v1.0-windows-x86_64.zip: Windows x86_64 binary built with GCC.
• SHA256SUMS.txt: artifact checksums.

Validation:

• Native Windows GCC build and tests passed.
• Linux Docker make clean/test/build passed.
• macOS x86_64 and arm64 Docker/Zig cross-compile checks passed.
• Manual validation passed on STM32-DEMO.hex and a converted raw BIN image.

BINLens v0.1

BINLens v0.1

Initial usable project release.

Highlights:

• C11 command-line scaffold with Makefile build.
• Intel HEX parser for record types 00, 01, 02, 04, and 05.
• Intel HEX checksum validation with line-numbered diagnostics.
• Owned firmware source-chunk model with address span and loaded byte tracking.
• Basic CLI summary output for Intel HEX files.
• Parser fixtures and smoke tests.

Artifacts:

• linux-x86_64: Docker-built Linux binary archive.
• macos-x86_64: Docker/Zig cross-compiled macOS Intel binary archive.
• macos-arm64: Docker/Zig cross-compiled macOS Apple Silicon binary archive.
• SHA256SUMS.txt: artifact checksums.

Known limitations:

• Raw .bin loading is still scaffolded.
• Memory map reconstruction, entropy output, heatmap rendering, and vector table detection are not implemented yet.
