Ikhos Netbot S15 Reverse Engineering
UART reverse engineering of an Ikhos Netbot S15.
- Role
- Bring-up / protocol
- Timeframe
- Personal
- Stack
- UART, logic / serial capture, embedded Linux or MCU host
- Status
- Lab notes
Problem
The Ikhos Netbot S15 has no public control manual I could use. I wanted the UART: how the platform talks, and whether that was enough to drive it from my own host.
What I Built
Physical UART access and a first pass at the protocol: capture, decode, and enough of the command surface to know what I was looking at.
Result
UART path identified and partially mapped. Not a complete open-source stack.
