Disassembling a flat SH-4 binary using objdump?

[Multimedia Mike]

If I have an SH-4 binary in ELF format, disassembling is pretty straightforward:

Code: Select all

sh-elf-objdump -d file.elf

However, I have some old SH-4 binaries compiled for the Dreamcast that are flat binary files to be loaded at and executed from 0x8c010000. It seems like I should be able to disassemble such a file using objdump by passing parameters that specifies a starting address and indicating the fact that it's a flat binary file.

I actually figured out a more complicated method for disassembling these raw binaries. I just remained convinced that there must be a more straightforward method using objdump.

I don't have an actual SuperH toolchain built right now to check, but I think you want something like:

Code: Select all

sh-elf-objdump -b binary -m sh4 -EL --adjust-vma=0x8c010000 -D file.bin

Thanks! That works. My overcomplicated solution was to convert the raw binary to a sequence of hex numbers printed in text, place them into a skeleton ASM file and use GNU as and ld to construct an ELF file, then disassemble that. That also worked but I like your solution better.
