Hi,
I have just started working on VxWorks. I am currently working on the following :-
I need to create a framework which will encompass exception handling & memory management (detecting null pointer usage, for instance). All in all, it will be like an abstraction layer over the operating system. This framework will be in the form of a downloadable kernel module. Unit tests (also DKM's) would draw from this framework.
I want to manipulate the exception handlers & handle them myself, but I don't know how.
The ED&R component needs to be configured with the kernel image in order to work with certain API'S (if i understand correctly), but if its a DKM which is already in kernel space, doesn't it have complete access to the memory (RAM, persistent memory) & hence can directly gain access ?
Can you provide me with some guidelines as to how I should go about achieving my objective ?
