anergistic

Using a static analysis (IDA) could give you a good view of what the program does, but sometimes you want to know what a program does in real time and how it reacts to different parameters, this is where anergistics becomes a powerful tool. It simulates the SPU including its communication, and storage.

Current repos

usage

anergistic can be launched in two different modes, one that only emulates (runs) the program through the SPU and the the other that lets you debug the process through gdb

only emulate

./anergistic spu_elf_name.elf

this mode runs an elf with all the parameters and actions defined on main.c, channel.c a

debug

terminal 1

./anergistic -g 1234 spu_elf_name.elf

terminal 2

gdb
(gdb)target remote :1234

this mode performs the same as above but lets you debug the process through gdb

Customizations

see example below

Running in aim_spu_module anergistic

Problems

Connection proble

when in debugger mode

Waiting for gdb to connect...
Client connected.
recv failed: Success

Solution

please fill if you know the solution


aim_spu_module

It is used to retrieve the device type, device id, open psid and the pscode from the EID0 data that is passed in.


Debug messages

Address Message
? 3.41 ? 355 CEX
0x36f0 0x3570 "(spu)start aim spu module!\n"
0x3710 0x3590 "(spu) PU DMA area start address is not align 16byte\n"
0x3750 0x35d0 "(spu) PU EID area start address is not align 16byte\n"
0x3790 0x3610 "(spu) PU DMA area size is not equall to AIM_DMA_SIZE\n"

This messages are DMAed to the ppu if a debug output address is specified.
