Octal Debugging Technique
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For other expansions of "ODT", see ODT.
Octal Debugging Technique, or ODT, was the name of several debugger programs originally developed for DEC hardware. Various software systems including OS/8, RT-11, RSX-11, and RSTS/E implemented ODT as did the firmware console of all of the LSI-11-family processors including the 11/03, 11/23/24, 11/53, 11/73, and 11/83/84.
The debugger allowed access to memory using octal addresses and data. Within the software systems, the debugger accessed the process's virtual memory. The firmware console implementation accessed physical memory.
