Hi Everybody!
does anyone have any experience in porgramming (i mean BIG projects Interfacing with Hardware or writing device drivers ) in Assembly Language.
if Someone do , will u tell me which debugger did u use.
( Puhlease do paste the link for downloadin the debugger )
n what tool wil u recommend for Assembly Language !
MASM , TASM or NASM

Hi AceTaimur,

Welcome to TSG!

Most modern drivers may be written in C (easier to maintain than assembler ) these days, with some in-line assembler.

Try gdb for both. Use of C allows near equal performance when optimized for the machine, and gdb can help debug both.

I have worked with SCSI device drivers where the code was in C with very little assembler as I recall.

Gdb is part of the Gnu tools family along with gcc, g++, binutils, etc.

AS is the portable Gnu assembler (with every Linux distribution). I do recall looking at NASM a while ago and it did look good. The most important thing to being able to debug any code with a debugger is the generation of symbol table information as without it there is no debugging with a debugger, or only limited such capability.
