Preserving the Debugger Operating Environment
4-13
4
Hardware Functions
The only hardware resources used by the debugger are the EIA-
232-D ports, which are initialized to interface to the debug terminal
and a host. If these ports are reprogrammed, the terminal
characteristics must be modified to suit, or the ports should be
restored to the debugger-set characteristics prior to reinvoking the
debugger.
Exception Vectors Used by 162Bug
The exception vectors used by the debugger are listed below. These
vectors must reside at the specified offsets in the target program's
vector table for the associated debugger facilities (breakpoints,
trace mode, etc.) to operate.
When the debugger handles one of the exceptions listed in Table
4-2, the target stack pointer is left pointing past the bottom of the
exception stack frame created; that is, it reflects the system stack
Table 4-2. Exception Vectors Used by 162Bug
