Dear All,
I'm new to this forum. I wish you all good day.
I'm a firmware programmer but I've never done programming for H/D (Hard Disk).
I would like to learn from Scratch. Could any of you assist in giving reference to documents and quick start for the same.
Do I need any tools or Development kit?
Regards,
Javeed

Go search for DVD firmwares RPC 1 etc and start there .. There are some good tutorials on cracking DVD / CD firmware and most use ARM now....

Write the firmware to turn on or off a sector, move the specific location ....etc
Flash this firmware into the H/D
and test ....
Some thing of this kind...
Please suggest.

You could start at reading the documents at
www.t13.org.
Commands to access the firmware are secrets of the manufacturer and can only be found by reverse engineering using a hardware sniffer that observes the commands sent to a drive or by deassembling the drives software.
Anyway, i think your good for some time with this
Best regards,
