what ECU is this coming from?  the interpretation of the bytes that you =
pulled out of the prom depends completely on what processor you have... =
there is no such thing as "general" assembly langauge... a 55h byte =
might be a "move" instruction on one processor and a "jump" on =
another... depending on what the processor is there may be utilities to =
convert the binary dump directly into the assembly instructions... then =
you'll need to data book for the processor to understand what those =
instructions are doing... assembly is not necessarily easily readable... =
each processor has its own addressing modes and register layout that =
require you to know some specifics about the architecture...

  I al looking for some help on dissassembling a BIN file obtained from =
my prom.  I understand that the first half of the bin viewed in a hex =
editor is the actual software, and the rest of it are the tables.  So i =
need to split this file up somehow.  Also, if I am to learn the =
language, assembly, is this a specific assembly language for motorola =
chips?  Or is it just general assembly language, becasue I am going to =
need to get a book probably, to learn all this stuff.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
