Description
Firmware for a kitchen robot sold for home use from 2011, read from a unit retired by its owners.
Provenance
Donated by the creator’s family in 2014. The controller had failed, so the memory chip was removed and read directly. All files were recovered; 46 damaged sectors were rebuilt from redundant data.
