ADB Broadband YAPL disassembler

What are yapl files?

YAPL files are files used by the httpd binary shipped with ADB modem/routers.

They use a custom programming language (Yet Another Programming Language?) that compiles to binary

The binary format uses a proprietary VM, that has been reverse engineered in order to write this disassembler

VM architecture

The virtual machine executes 8 bit instructions. The low 6 bit indicate the opcode, and the high 2 bits encode the size of the operand (max 4 bytes)

The VM has the concepts of a stack, stack frames, arrays and indexed strings.

Modules

The VM supports modules. Some are builtins, but user modules can be loaded from file
