PJIT Monitor (pmon)

To examine any memory location, simply enter the address in hexadecimal. Only hexadecimal input is supported. PMON can take 8, 16, 24 and 32-bit addresses as input and will zero-extend addresses short of 24-bit. All basic operations to and from memory are done in WORDS or 16-bit whole values.

] FC0000
  FC0000: 1111

To display a block of memory we simply prefix the address with a period.

] .FC0010
  FC0002: 4EF9 00FC 00D2 0000 FFFF 0022 0005 0022

We can combine these to show memory from the first address to the second.

] FC0000.FC0010
  FC0000: 1111 4EF9 00FC 00D2 0000 FFFF 0022 0005 0022

We can also specify multiple addresses separated by a space.

] FC0000 FC0008
  FC0000: 1111
  FC0008: 0000

To affect a write to the address, we can add a colon.

] DFF180: 0FFF

After the colon we can provide as many words as we like to be written to consecutive words in memory.

] DFF180: 0FFF 0F0F 0FF0

When writing or reading, it is important to only do with EVEN memory addresses. Attempting to access ODD memory locations will be ignored. Pmon provides very little in terms of error reporting, it's up to the user to understand why things didn't work.

] FC0018S
  FC0018: "exec 33.192 (8 Oct 1986)\r\n"

The S letter will parse memory from the last address as a string and output that. Only the first 256 characters will be displayed for very long strings.

] 0R

The R letter is the "run" command and will reset and restart PJIT from that memory address. PJIT will run CONCURRENTLY to pmon.

] 012340B

The B letter sets a breakpoint at the specified address. When the breakpoint is reached, PJIT will stop and dump the CPU state.

] ?

Prints the current CPU state. If PJIT is presently running, it will be momentarily paused to create 'snapshot' data.

] S

Stops or pauses PJIT and dumps the CPU state.

] C

Continues PJIT from the last address.

] I

Performs a single PJIT instruction (step). In addition to showing the CPU state, PJIT will also emit the instruction executed.

] T

Enable (T1) or disable (T0) trace. While trace is enabled, every instruction will be echoed to the console along with the CPU state. This will slow down PJIT. In 68020 mode you can also set trace to T2 which will only dump CPU state when a branch is encountered.

] P00
  D0: 000000000

Shows the value of Processor register 00. This must only be a value from 00-1F. Note that in the response, Pmon will always use "real" register names for convinience. You can also use D0-D7 and A0-A7 after the P.

The registers are:

00-07 Data Registers D0 to D7
08-0F Address Registers A0 to A7
   10 Source Function Code
   11 User Stack Pointer
   12 Destination Function Code
   13 Vector Base Register, Status Register and Condition Code
   14 Cache Control Register
   15 Cache Address Register
   16 MMU Translation Control Register
   17 Master Stack Pointer
   18 Instruction Transparent Translation Register 0
   19 Interrupt Stack Pointer
   1A Instruction Transparent Translation Register 1
   1B MMU Status Register
   1C Data Transparent Translation Register 0
   1D User Root Pointer
   1E Data Transparent Translation Register 1
   1F Supervisor Root Pointer	
A0-A7 Alias for 08-0F
D0-D7 Alias for 00-07

] PD0: 0000
  D0: 000000000

Sets processor register 00 (D0) to 0000. Data regsters support 8-bit (bytes), 16-bit (word) and 32-bit (long word) values and will leave the unwritten bits alone. Address registers support word and long word writes and will sign-extend word writes. All other registers are 32-bit only.

] E0000

Shows the value stored at EEPROM address. Addresses are from 000-FFF and only byte reads and writes are supported. The EEPROM is partitioned into sixteen pages of 256 bytes each. At boot, the CPU will scan for the latest, valid copy.
