Useful call stacks from Hardware

•To get a useful call stack two things are always needed.

…A hex dump of the memory used by the stack of the thread which paniced

…A ROM symbol file for the software flashed onto the device.

•With this information a Symbian perl script can decode a human readable call stack ( similar to the call stack seen in the emulator).

•

Note: The symbol file must match the software in the ROM, if you built the ROM yourself, you already have the symbol file. If it is a release ROM or another developer - you must ask for the symbol file.
