Re: exceptions and emulator

well if you're getting some kind of exception (more likely a panic) it'll be somewhere near the bottom..

perhaps it might say something like

PANIC Kern-exec 3

Search for "Kern-exec 3" in the documentation and there'll be an entry called something like "Kern-exec in system panic reference" and you go to #3 and see what the problem was.

Hope that helps,

Re: exceptions and emulator

Thanks again for your answers.

I am not looking for "PANIC". What I am interested in is the hardware exceptions while running in kernel mode.

For example, I am running a kernel component and it de-references a NULL pointer. What will be kernel will panic and if crash debugger present it will start executing (I am not sure whether this is the case on emulator). In this case how to know about the exception type.

Thanks a lot for your inputs.

Re: exceptions and emulator

Um if i understand you correctly you want to get access to the CrashDebugger to get the exception numbers etc?

well when it says "password" on your hyperterminal you need to type it in, that gets you into the crash debugger

Hi Dynite,

Thanks for the info. Eye-wink
The password for crash debugger is (by default) "replacement".

"What will be the output and meaning for crash debugger command "r" ?" was my question. The command "r" displays the register contents, on hardware it will display R0-R15 of ARM, CPSR, SPSR_, FAR and FSR. What will be output when it is run in emulator.
