Is the crash is in kernel side or User side ?

Hi,

Any crashes in a Device Driver will result in a Kernel Panic, as the DD run=
s kernel side, and will display the crash debugger screen asking for a pass=
word.

For this screen you can dump the system value, registers etc.

Also you can install the d_exc application on your target and start it befo=
re running your test.
d_exc will create 2 files for each panic:

d_exc_nnn.txt
d_exc_nnn.stk


Copy both these files to the PC then open the crash log (d_exc_nnn.txt) in =
code explorer.

Provide the symbol files to run the included rofssym tool to decode the cra=
sh log (the decoded log is then opened automatically)

If you scanned the source code (menu item: code explorer - scan source) the=
n you will be able to jump directly from a line of the call stack to the so=
urce code of the corresponding function.



Note that for a KERN-EXEC 3 panic, the most interesting information is in t=
he registers rather than the stack
