This example shows the worst, best and acceptable (when support for V1 is impossible) cases for users. The best case is to provide a Universal Hex that supports all board variants.
- In my case, I am using a BIGTREETEECH board, where mine is identified as ‘STM32F103RC_btt_maple’.
- The upgrade should only be done when the manufacturer recommends it or when the device has a problem that can be solved by upgrading.
- A string can be length-prescribed, which is to say it has a length right before it, or it can be length-defined somewhere else, which is to say it has a length right before it.
- Hex editors are used to view stock firmware ROM and edit the underlying code of files.
- To identify the firmware currently installed on your 3D printer, the M115 G-Code command can be sent to your printer using a program like Pronterface.
- After getting into 3D printing, I came across terms such as firmware, Marlin, flashing, and upgrading which was pretty confusing at first.
You should now see a different boot screen since your firmware has been updated. A bootloader is a program that loads an operating system when a computer (in this case, the printer) is turned on.
As a type of object, the hex byte is the only one that computers handle, and it represents everything. Select Edit with FlexHEX from the Windows Explorer window after right-clicking any binary file. The Address pane is displayed in the beginning of the first byte of a line. Even if you’re not in the market for a diminutive arcade experience, the information that [wrongbaud] has collected here is really phenomenal. From understanding protocols such as I2C and SPI to navigating firmware dumps with a hex editor, these posts are an invaluable resource for anyone looking to get started with reverse engineering.

The numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F are used in the Hexadecimal system, which is a 16-bit numbering system that is used in computers to represent binary data. In hexadecimal, a single number equal to 10 is equal to a single decimal number. The number 12 in hexadecimal, for example, is equal to the number 12 in decimal.
