Description

LiME dumps is a damn simple format for memory dumps convenient for developers to write. May be useful for reversing of firmware of embedded devices. Some info though has to be provided off-band, as with other raw images.

Feel free to use my impl: https://github.com/KOLANICH/kaitai_struct_formats/blob/lime_avml_memory_dump/log/lime_avml_memory_dump.ksy .

Research direction

Start by reading the linked lime_avml_memory_dump.ksy implementation to understand the LiME dump format and what off-band information it expects. Then inspect RetDec's existing input and lifting paths to determine where LiME support belongs. Done means RetDec can accept LiME dumps with the required external information and lift them successfully.
