Smarter Analysis Across Architectures

IDA 9.2 extends support for a wide range of processors and instruction sets, making embedded and hardware analysis more powerful.

• Improved switch detection for RISC-V and ARM, as well as improved stack pointer tracking for ARM.
• Expanded TriCore chipset coverage (tc1x – tc4x), support for recently introduced tc4x (TC1.8) instructions, support for registers with global, user-specifiable values.
• More macro instructions for v850/rh850, better handling of relocatable objects for creating FLIRT signatures, support for registers with global, user-specifiable values.
• Support 32-bit SIMD instructions of TMS320 C6 Series.

Clearer, More Accurate Decompilation

Decompiler improvements help you work faster with Go, Windows binaries, and cross-references.

• Tuple types for Golang multi-value returns, producing much cleaner output.
• New action: “Show all xref decompilations”, for code and data references inside the decompiler.

Insights Into the Decompiler Pipeline

For the first time, IDA opens a window into the Decompiler’s internals.

• New Microcode Viewer reveals the intermediate representation (Hex-Rays Microcode).
• Inspect transformations at every stage.
• Build advanced custom plugins with deeper insight.

Debugger Enhancements

The debugger now offers richer context and more reliable call stacks.

• Redesigned Register Subview with automatic pointer dereferencing and color coding for memory types.
• More accurate call stack reconstruction for x64 PE binaries.

Productivity & UI Improvements

We’ve smoothed out day-to-day workflows with a range of quality-of-life updates:

• Jump Anywhere is a new dialog created to simplify quick jumps to locations anywhere in the IDB.
• Unified Location History enables a history stack across multiple widgets. Remember how hitting ESC after jumping from the decompiler to some data item in the disassembler wouldn’t bring you back to the decompiler? That behavior is remedied. If you don’t like it, the new history sharing can disabled globally.
• New Dynamic Xref Graph widget that gives a graphical representation of inter-function relationships (code and data). Replaces the static qwingraph charts with an interactive, OpenGL accelerated version of the same functionality.
• New Xref Tree widget that gives a textual representation of inter-function relationships (code and data). It unifies the now-legacy Function Calls and Cross References subviews.
• The ones among you who regularly fire up IDAs during presentations will be delighted to hear that the common Ctrl-+/Ctrl– shortcuts to increase/decrease font size now work in IDA.
• The type editor under Local Types now supports tab completion.
• Qt6 brings much more stable support for Wayland Linux Desktops.
