* Package name : memtool Version : 2015.12.0 Upstream Author : Pengutronix <entwickl...@pengutronix.de> * URL : http://www.pengutronix.de/software/memtool/index_en.html * License : GPLv2 Programming Lang: C Description : manipulate and read memory mapped registers memtool is a program we use at Pengutronix to inspect and modify registers mostly on arm/armhf. It's functions are inspired by the respective functions (md and mw) of the barebox bootloader. Usually it works on /dev/mem but can be used to modify other character devices (like /dev/fb0) for example. There exist some alternatives: - memtool (argh, same name) ftp://ftp.koansoftware.com/public/linux/memtool/memtool.c It's less flexible, doesn't format it's output that nicely and also doesn't include an ascii representation. - devmem2 Similar to memtool. There is an RFP at http://bugs.debian.org/595805 from 2010 which looks orphaned however. Some crititcs pointed out in the bug's log maybe also applies to memtool (hard coding page size, hardcoding sizeof(long) == 4) etc.) but I'm willing to fix these up. - memedit http://www.pengutronix.de/software/memedit/index_en.html this is really clumsy to use because you have to map memory by hand. I'm sure there are more, but I didn't find any of these in Debian. Best regards Uwe
