Description
Firmware for a floor-cleaning robot sold for home use from 2015, read from a unit retired by its owners.
Provenance
Found in a school storeroom when the building was cleared. The controller had failed, so the memory chip was removed and read directly. The image matches a checksum published by the original distributor.
