Uf2 Decompiler -
Unlike an ELF file, a raw binary does not have an entry point header telling the decompiler where main() is. You must find it manually.
For RP2040 / ARM Cortex-M: The vector table is usually at the start of the binary.
Ghidra will produce a pseudo-C representation. It is not the original source code, but a functional equivalent. uf2 decompiler
What you will see:
void reset_handler(void)
uint32_t *src = &_sfixed;
uint32_t *dst = &_data_start;
while (dst < &_data_end) *dst++ = *src++;
// ... call main()
What you will not see:
To improve readability:
Before we go further, we need to clear up a common misconception. You cannot "decompile a UF2 file" for the same reason you cannot "un-zip a JPEG." Unlike an ELF file, a raw binary does
When you ask for a "UF2 decompiler," you are actually asking for two distinct, sequential operations:
The first operation is trivial. The second operation is one of the hardest problems in computer science. Ghidra will produce a pseudo-C representation
You cannot feed a .uf2 file directly into a decompiler like Ghidra or IDA Pro. You must strip the container headers and reconstruct the raw firmware image.
