Abstract :
Software reverse engineering in embedded system is not convenient than it on the PC. There are many debugging and analysis software on the PC. In embedded systems, due to the diversity types of processors, it is difficult to make software tools using anywhere. However, the diversity types of processors also provide us with convenience. We can use some special features of the processors to complete software analysis. In this paper, we implement data breakpoint using hardware breakpoint registers of XScale core in Windows CE system.
