#94364 - Full Function Resident Debugger Responding to: ???'s previous message |
When you say
"...Because it has to run in the 8051, you're restricted to a line-by-line assembler without symbolic addressing; All you can see is raw hex data, etc, etc." I agree completely. That's why I'm after a debugger that has the assembly/disassembly capability. PaulMon has an add-on disassembler, but doesn't support line-by-line assembly, which is handy to help avoid transcription errors when patching code. It's just a convenience, but works. When you've got your head in a small code module that deals with specific synchronization issues, it doesn't matter whether you call an object "0x1BC" or "Clarabelle." Lack of symbolic referencing isn't a major sacrifice. A resident debugger won't do EVERYTHING for you, but it does quite a bit. RE |
