MAPPER: A Debugging Aid for Use with the MAP Maintenance Test Panel.

Abstract

A program is presented which enables communication with the Macro Arithmetic Procesor through the EIA port of the Maintenance Test Panel. The user can list, edit or execute code from MAP memory, examine system flags or pseudo-memory, and with slight extension, load processor or change status words. The program is totally relocatable (including bus relocatable), and can thus be placed alongside existing software. The program was written to aid the construction and debugging of a Host Interface Controller, and was also used when making host related modifications to the Host Interface Module, or when writing the software device service routine or driver.
