4. Reading methods overview
- OBD (if supported): Fastest and safest when ECU allows via OBD protocol; limited by bootlock or security.
- Bench/Boot mode using GPT cable: Direct connection to board-level pins (boot or BDM) to bypass immobilizer or read protected memory.
- BDM mode (soldered connection to CPU BDM lines) for full memory access when boot not available.
