Renesas H8/300H Pedometer Reverse Engineering

2026Embedded systems and reverse engineering developer

This project focuses on reverse engineering a pedometer built around the Renesas H8/300H architecture. The work involves studying the original firmware and hardware behavior, understanding the embedded system architecture, and using that knowledge to reproduce or reimplement key functionality on modern hardware.
