|
13 Tool</title><shortdesc>Describes how to get basic information about the system state when |
|
14 problems occur on hardware to help you debug your software.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody> |
|
15 <p>Device drivers are typically run and debugged on target hardware rather |
|
16 than on the Emulator. The tool that provides this information is called the <i>debug |
|
17 monitor</i> or the <i>crash debugger</i>. </p> |
|
18 <p>The debug monitor is used when the Kernel faults. This can happen because |
|
19 there is a fault in a kernel-side component, such as a device driver, or because |
|
20 a thread or process marked as system-critical crashes. </p> |
|
21 <p>Note that the debug monitor is one of the basic ways of debugging software |
|
22 problems on target hardware. Full interactive debugging on reference hardware |
|
23 and some real phones is available through commercial IDEs. </p> |
