INTRODUCTION
1 INTRODUCTION
System Debug provides a family of low-level assembly language debugging tools for
MPE/iX:
• Debug
• Dump Analysis Tool (DAT)
• Standalone Analysis Tool (SAT)
A certain level of knowledge is required to utilize System Debug. Specifically, familiarity
with assembly code, procedure calling conventions, parameter passing conventions, and
HP 3000 and HP Precision Architecture is assumed. If you do not require the features
offered by an assembly language debugger, please be aware that two excellent source-level
symbolic debuggers are available from Hewlett-Packard: Symbolic Debug/XL and
Toolset/XL.
