On-line Debugging Tool

On-line Debugging Tool, or ODT, was the name of several debugger programs originally developed for DEC hardware. Various operating systems including OS/8, RT-11, RSX-11, and RSTS/E implemented ODT as did the firmware console of all of the LSI-11-family processors including the 11/03, 11/23/24, 11/53, 11/73, and 11/83/84.

The debugger allowed access to memory using octal addresses and data. Within the software systems, the debugger accessed the process's virtual memory. The firmware console implementation accessed physical memory.

ODT is a non-symbolic debugger and implements similar functionality to adb on Unix systems.

Famous quotes containing the word tool:

    The veto is a President’s Constitutional right, given to him by the drafters of the Constitution because they wanted it as a check against irresponsible Congressional action. The veto forces Congress to take another look at legislation that has been passed. I think this is a responsible tool for a president of the United States, and I have sought to use it responsibly.
    Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
