RISC OS  OPEN


A fast and easily customised operating system for devices using ARM processor cores.

Documentation: Software information: DebugTools

Status

Current status: beta

Last stable version: 1.15

Overview

The debug tools module provides a whole pile of very useful debugging facilities – both SWIs and *commands.

It has a full functional specification which gives more detail on all of the features, but here are just a few:

  • Enhanced Where command
  • List claimants of vectors, tickers and IRQ devices
  • Forcibly kill/remove broken modules
  • Command line EvalHex and EvalBin commands
  • Replace or change behaviour of OS SWIs

Installation Instructions

Just double-click the module to run it. Putting it into your PreDesk directory will mean it is always present so that you can access its features when you most need them.

Known issues

The IRQInfo command is not compatable with the RISC OS 5 HAL at present so will not work on an IYONIX. Some of the other features probably won’t work correctly on RISC OS 4 or 6.
