A Summary of Commands

spStatus

Bootcnt is incremented each time the ROM restarts. Only diagnostics currently alter it in any other way. SPtime is the time in 16 millisecond increments since the pack started. If spStatus is running in recursive mode, this value is not changing, and the debugger is not active, the following warning is generated:

"No Clock! Check TDM master"

This means that either there is no TDM master and hence no TDM interrupts, or the pack file is stuck at priority level 6 or 7 and so all interrupts are blocked. In the former situation, check your T1 cards and make sure that one of them is the TDM master. In the latter case, you have a bug. Use msdb and examine the pack file. SPusage is the current load factor on the SSP card. This is the last value of meaning if the pack is an original-style pack. The remaining information applies only to SSP Executive packs.

Debug ID, spFreeMemory

Debug ID is set to the pid of the UNIX process currently debugging this SP card. It is used to avoid collisions between people attempting to debug code running on a card. spFreeMemory is the amount of memory free in the memory allocation arenas, which are managed by malloc(), realloc(), and free().

Free Actions

The number of Action structures not currently assigned to a time slot. This value is initially 50.
