Identifying Processor Type

Post by ejukated »

Is there any way to tell for certain what processor or processor family a particular bin file is? I am looking at poking around the attached file, I suspect it is a MPC565 processor but not sure, IDA v6.6 doesn't seem to want to disassemble it

That looks like it's some kind of toyota turbo diesel 89663-26433 file.

I think that means it isn't. AFAIK, the way to identify a processor from a bin is to try disassembly for different candidates and see which produces a plausible output.
