Pic18 Disassembler

PIC18 Disassembler is tool specialized in managing PIC18Cxxxx and PIC18F parts only. To put it simply, the role of the utility entails converting from raw binary Machine Code back to User viewable/editable Mnemonics that can be directly modified using a text editor and then re-assembled using the free Microchip assembler.

The duration of the disassemble process varies depending on the memory size of the microcontroller. This tool has advantages over the 12/14-bit PIC Disassembler (PicDis) in that due to the architecture of the PIC18xxxx devices full branch/call destination addresses can be decoded.

As previously mentioned, the program is specialized and addresses developers who work on designing various dev boards, for instance. In fact, if you have absolutely no information available anywhere, but you would still need to provide code as well as the configuration bits for it, then you may be forced to disassemble an example to learn this information.

As far as the options of the tool are concerned, you can specify whether you prefer to have a log with a memory format in Little Endian or Big Endian. In addition to the disassembly operation, you can validate the code, add comments or grab Radix in decimal, binary or hexadecimal.
