Pinczakko's Guide to Reversing Award BIOS DLL Support

I explain the inner-working of DLL file in Award BIOS in my recent Pinczakko's Guide to Reversing Award BIOS DLL Support article.

This is the excerpt:

Welcome to another installment of the Pinczakko Guide's series :). In this article I explain how the emerging "support" for Windows Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL) is implemented in recent Award BIOS. As you will see later, full-fledged DLL is not supported by Award BIOS. In fact, the DLL header is just discarded entirely by the Award BIOS code.

This article assumes that you have a deep understanding of Award BIOS binaries. If you haven't mastered it yet, you'd better read the prerequisite section below and make sure that you've armed yourself with enough knowledge before proceeding to read this article.

The purpose of this article is to be your reference when disassembling a DLL file in Award BIOS binary. It's important to know the execution environment of the DLL in order to understand the DLL contents. Anyway, I'm not held responsible about the correctness of any explanation in this article, you have to cross-check what I wrote here and what you have in your hand.

Have phun ;)
