Reverse Engineering of the M-VAVE FM-1 Pocket Synthesizer Firmware

Researchers have completed a comprehensive reverse engineering analysis of the M-VAVE FM-1 pocket synthesizer's firmware, identifying its underlying hardware (JieLi AC791N/WL82 processor with a six-operator FM synthesis engine) and documenting its boot chain, memory layout, and over-the-air update protocol. The project includes detailed architectural documentation, disassembly analysis, and protocol research but intentionally excludes replacement firmware or custom image builders, with safety considerations and unresolved recovery questions documented for reference.
