RELEASED 27th October 2009 

SUPPORTS S60 5.0+

===============================================================================

Product Description:

====================

MemSpy is a tracing application running on an S60 device. MemSpy is typically

used to narrow down the field of investigation. Once you know where the problem

is (e.g. the thread or process), you can use other tools to perform more

detailed inspection. 

Main Features:

==============

- RAM usage of a thread or process

- Amount of stack each thread has

- Active objects for a given thread

- Files that are open in a system, or files that have been opened by a thread

- Device RAM / ROM configuration

- Servers that are running (and their sessions)

- Any memory chunks

- Heap memory changes over time

- Bitmaps loaded by the font & bitmap server

===============================================================================

What's New in v1.2.0

====================

- Feature: Tracking modes introduced for simplify System Wide Memory Tracking

  settings.

- Feature: System Wide Memory Tracking categories can now be selected.

- Feature: Heap data captured during System Wide Memory Tracking can be

  filtered by thread name.

- Feature: Shared heaps can now be detected with S60 UI and trace output.

- Feature: Batch files for running MemSpy functions can now be executed from

  command line.

- Change: Command line interface documented in User's Guide.

===============================================================================

Installation Notes:

===================

MemSpy is typically preinstalled on ROM. If not, it can be added to the

ROM with the .iby file. Alternatively, a .sis file can be found under the sis-

directory, but the user needs to sign it with their own developer certificate.

In Nokia R&D environment, you can use directly the R&D-signed .sis file under 

the internal\sis directory.

When signing with own developer certificate, the following capabilities are

needed:

  TCB

  CommDD

  PowerMgmt

  MultimediaDD

  ReadDeviceData

  WriteDeviceData

  DRM

  TrustedUI

  ProtServ

  DiskAdmin

  NetworkControl

  AllFiles

  SwEvent

  NetworkServices

  LocalServices

  ReadUserData

  WriteUserData

  Location

  SurroundingsDD

  UserEnvironment
