Feature draft — pcileech-enigma-x1-top.bin

Summary

Add support for the Enigma X1 "top" firmware image (pcileech-enigma-x1-top.bin) so the loader can detect, validate, and flash this variant safely while preserving user data and offering rollback.

The PCIe interface uses a serial communication protocol, which enables faster data transfer rates compared to traditional parallel interfaces. The PCIe standard has undergone several revisions, with each revision offering increased speeds and improved performance. The current most widely used revision is PCIe 4.0, which offers speeds of up to 16 GT/s (gigatransfers per second). pcileech-enigma-x1-top.bin

1. Device Emulation: The FPGA wakes up and identifies itself to the host system (the target PC). It typically emulates a legitimate device, such as a generic Network Interface Card (NIC) or a storage controller. This prevents the OS from flagging it as "Unknown Hardware."
2. TLP Engine: The firmware implements a Transaction Layer Packet (TLP) engine. This allows the hardware to speak the PCIe protocol natively.
3. Memory Mapping: Once the driver is loaded (or the default OS driver takes over), the device requests access to system memory (DMA). The firmware in the .bin file contains the logic to receive commands from the attacker (via USB or Ethernet) and translate them into memory read/write requests on the target machine.
