# EMBA > Extract firmware, combine static checks with emulation-based analysis, inventory software components, and generate web reports and SBOMs for further investigation. - Type: Tool - Targets: Firmware - Category: Firmware tools - Relationship: Foundation tool - Sources reviewed: 2026-10-16 - Added to the catalog: 2026-10-16 - Original resource: - Primary source: - Catalog page: - Record JSON: - Chinese version: [简体中文](https://awesomerea.org/zh/resources/emba/index.md) ## Requirements & limits - Upstream recommends an x86-64 Kali Linux VM and the default Docker mode; Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 is also listed. Native ARM execution is not supported. - Documented resource guidance is at least 16 GB RAM, 8 CPU cores recommended, and 30–100 GB free disk space; larger firmware or more parallel workers need more resources. - Install the external dependencies through the project installer. Emulation can execute firmware content; upstream reserves developer mode for development, and findings still require interpretation. ## Primary sources 1. ## More in Firmware and hardware - [Firmware Analysis and Comparison Tool (FACT)](https://awesomerea.org/resources/fact-core/index.md) · Tool - [OFRAK](https://awesomerea.org/resources/ofrak/index.md) · Tool - [FirmAE](https://awesomerea.org/resources/firmae/index.md) · Tool - [PulseView](https://awesomerea.org/resources/pulseview/index.md) · Tool - [UEFITool](https://awesomerea.org/resources/uefitool/index.md) · Tool - [Glasgow Interface Explorer](https://awesomerea.org/resources/glasgow-interface-explorer/index.md) · Tool ## About this entry The description was reviewed against primary sources.
