The rumour is true that the T425 and T801 have extra instructions to support
breakpointing *but* we do document them so it's not really a rumour.

However, as far as using the new breakpoint debugger is concerned, the
debugger itself requires *any* 32 bit transputer with at least
1 Mbyte (preferably 2 Mbyte) for itself; the rest of the network can
consist of any combination of 16 and 32 bit transputers.

Setting breakpoints on transputers without hardware breakpoint support
(eg. T800, T222 etc.) is still possible with idebug so long as you only
set them in low priority processes.


This is of course mentioned in the documentation for idebug - have you read it
or is it unclear ? (if so tell me for future incorporation).

Have you phoned your local INMOS Business Center for help with using the
toolset ? (as listed in the toolset documentation).
