Interrupt Descriptor Table View

Toolbar

xdt_view Interrupt Descriptor Table

The view allows you to explore the Interrupt Descriptor Table (IDT). To sucessfully use the view, make sure the target is halted.

To configure the display of the IDT, define the Descriptor Table Address: the address at which the desired descriptor table is located.

Working with IDT

Inside the IDT view, you can link addresses displayed in the table with the Disassembly view, set breakpoints, or explore register structure.

To link an IDT entry with a corresponding address in disassembly view, do any of the following:

  • Right-click the table row and select disassembly_viewView Disassembly.

  • Double-click the cell under Index, Linear Address, or Description column.

The Disassembly view is refreshed and the address you have chosen is displayed on top.

To add set a breakpoint to a particular address, right-click the table row and select line_breakpoint_enabledSet breakpoint. A new address breakpoint appears in the Breakpoints view (enabled by default).

If you double-click the cell under Attributes or Type column, the Platform Register Editor opens.
