In their own words
Avatar²
Avatar² is a free Python framework for dynamic analysis of embedded-device firmware. It coordinates targets, memory layouts and execution plans so firmware execution can be divided across multiple targets. Targets communicate through protocols with emulators, analysis frameworks or physical devices. The handbook documents GDB, OpenOCD, J-Link, QEMU and PANDA targets. OpenOCDTarget connects to physical targets over JTAG, while JLinkTarget supports SWD and JTAG. PANDA support includes recording and replaying execution and managing analysis plugins. Memory layouts define regions and rules for forwarding reads and writes between targets. The project documents installation through pip, from source or in Docker, where QEMU and PANDA are the defaults. It lists Linux support and ARM Cortex-M3 and x86-64 architectures. The README provides target build scripts for Ubuntu 20.04; other distributions are not officially supported, though they may work with modifications. The project uses the Apache-2.0 license and is maintained by EURECOM's Software and System Security Group. Maintainers direct users to a public mailing list and an invite-based Slack community.
