.bin files and hexdump and trying to find ways to understand the .bin files

Hello,

I am using an older model board with an older model Cape, i.e. BBB and Motor Bridge Cape.

Before I get into use cases of this Cape, I want to better understand what it is I can gather from hexdump.

What exactly can I understand from hexdump on a .bin file? For instance, I type the command hexdump -C My_File.bin and get a bunch of output.

In this output, what is it that I am seeing and how can I utilize it?

P.S. Here is the output on the last few lines:

00003170  5d 5e 60 61 62 64 65 66  68 69 6a 6c 6d 6e 1b 6c  |]^`abdefhijlmn.l|

What exactly am I supposed to understand from these lines or any of the lines of text from hexdump on my .bin file?

Okay…so. I have found what I am looking to attain. Sorry for the questioning…
