12.1 Description
The DebugAngel tool provides low-level firmware tracing to aid in low-level debugging. Running
as a Windows service or Linux Daemon, it polls the DM3 boards in the system and posts qPrintf( )
statements from the resources and DM3 kernel to a log file.
12.2 Guidelines
Once the service is running, no further action is needed. Any changes to your system (for example,
new boards) are automatically detected. On a Windows system, information is logged to the file
DebugAngel.log in the %INTEL_DIALOGIC_DIR%\log directory. On a Linux system, information
is logged to the file debugangel.log in the ${INTEL_DIALOGIC_DIR}/log directory.
12.3 Command Line Options
This section explains the command line options that can be used with the DebugAngel tool.
To install the service and start it running in automatic mode, enter the command:
DebugAngel -install
The DebugAngel tool uses the following options when it is invoked from the command line.
Notes: 1. Command line options are mutually exclusive.
2. On Linux systems, you must start DebugAngel from ${INTEL_DIALOGIC_DIR}/bin.
-instonly
Installs the service without starting it.
-start
Starts the service.
-stop
Stops the service.
