## Debug Monitor

The debug monitor is entered when the kernel crashes, if a system process panics, or an unhandled processor exception occurs. Under normal circumstances this ought not to happen, but when the kernel faults, the device enters the kernel debug monitor. The Debug Monitor appears in Carbide as a view within the Crash Debugger perspective. Use the Crash Debugger Console view to enter commands and interact with the Debug Monitor on the device.

Notes:

- the EKA2 debug monitor is very similar to the EKA1 version, although the details displayed may be different.

- you will occasionally find references to the crash debugger; this is the same as the debug monitor
