[ECOS] Re: does ecos support generating core files of kernel crashdumps?

Hi Adrian

There are a couple things you can do to help in field debugging.

1) Hook into the cyg_assert_fail() function and write the text of the
   message to flash, syslog, ide device etc

2) Hook into the exception handler and print/flash/syslog all the
   saved registers and maybe some of the stack.

If you can read assembly language and match it back to the C sources,
i found the register dump very useful. I've solved, or at least got a
good head start fixing in field bugs with this.
