How to copy Firmware from any IC to PC using Arduino.

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

Is there any way to get the sketch(Firmware) from any Microcontroller (Usually Microcontrollers used on T.V Mother Boards, DVD PLAYERS, BLURAY DISC PLAYER etc)and save that program in PC using Arduino.?
n00b here. :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

Highly unlikely. Almost certainly not with an Arduino. And they are usually read protected so people can't do just that.
Why exactly do you need to?

First, let me say you can copy Arduino ---> PC ----> AVR chip

See the process here

Most other uC used in commercial appliances will have the "protection fuse" set, so you will be unable to read the firmware... Copyright laws, industrial espionage, etc

If not possible with MCU ,Is it possible with any external EEPROM Chips.??? like MicroChip 24LC64 etc

Very strange question that is answered by a simple Google... Yes you can read the contents of ROM/EEPROM if you can establish the proper interface to the Arduino.

Example for 24LC64
