Debugger General Information

BH (Bootstrap and Halt)

BH reads an operating system or control program from a specified device into memory, and then returns control to 187Bug. It is used as a debugging tool.

Disk I/O via 187Bug System Calls

All operations that actually access the disk are done directly or indirectly by 187Bug TRAP #496 system calls. (The command-level disk operations provide a convenient way of using these system calls without writing and executing a program.)

The following system calls are provided to allow user programs to do disk I/O:

.DSKRD	Disk read. System call to read blocks from a disk into
	memory.

.DSKWR	Disk write. System call to write blocks from memory onto a
	disk.

.DSKCFIG	Disk conÞgure. This function allows you to change the
	conÞguration of the speciÞed device.

.DSKFMT	Disk format. This function allows you to send a format
	command to the speciÞed device.

.DSKCTRL	Disk control. This function is used to implement any
	special device control functions that cannot be
	accommodated easily with any of the other disk functions.

Refer to the Debugging Package for Motorola 88K RISC CPUs User's Manual for information on using these and other system calls.

Controller Command Packets

To perform a disk operation, 187Bug must eventually present a particular disk controller module with a controller command packet which has been especially prepared for that type of controller module. (This is accomplished in the respective controller driver module.)
