If you have selected IBM PC line, you can't select Zilog 80 line and vice versa.
For information about additional processor modules please visit our web page at www.hex-rays.com/idapro/idaproc.htm
Please note that when you change the processor type, IDA may change the target assembler, so check it out.
You may get a message saying that IDA does not know the specified processor if IDA fails to load the corresponding processor module.
Windows 32bit IDA uses .w32 file extension
Windows 64bit IDA uses .w64 file extension
Linux 32bit IDA uses .ilx file extension
Linux 64bit IDA uses .ilx64 file extension
NOTE: Changing the processor type leads to reanalysis of the whole program.
Sometimes this is useful.
NOTE: when you load a new processor module, all analysis options are reset to the values specified in the configuration file.
IDA determines the default processor using the input file extension and the contents of the input file. The table which describes the input file extensions and the corresponding processor types is located in IDA.CFG file and looks like:
DEFAULT_PROCESSOR = {
/* Extension Processor */
"com" : "8086" // IDA will try the specified
"exe" : "80386r" // extensions if no extension is
"dll" : "80386r" // given.
"drv" : "80386r"
"o" : "68000"
"prc" : "68000" // PalmPilot programs
"axf" : "arm710a"
"h68" : "68000" // MC68000 for *.H68 files
"i51" : "8051" // i8051 for *.I51 files
"sav" : "pdp11" // PDP-11 for *.SAV files
"rom" : "z80" // Z80 for *.ROM files
"cla" : "java" // Java classes
"class": "java" // Java classes
"s19": "6811"
"*": "80386p" // Default processor
}
If you want to change the default processor type, you need to change this table.
You may add/delete rows in this table.
