DINK32: DINK32 Debug Monitor

Overview

DINK32 is a flexible software tool enabling initialization, evaluation, and debugging of selected legacy Power Architecture 32-bit microprocessors. Because this family of microprocessors spans a wide market range, DINK32 has to be extensible and portable, as well as being specific enough to be useful for a wide variety of applications. It is designed to be both a hardware and software debugging tool. DINK32 was written in ANSI C and built with modular routines around a central core. Only a few necessary functions were written in Power Architecture assembly.

For a complete list of products supported by DINK32, see the Supported Devices section below.
