I should have added that Debian developers found devmem2 not worthy of
packaging, being a quick hack, and not being very portable.

A better solution would be to package BusyBox's devmem, which is an
improved implementation.

Would it be possible to add devmem support to the BusyBox package?
Should we work with Debian to get this change?

Cheers,

Michael.

There is no Ubuntu package for devmem2.
Could someone please package it?

devmem2 is a tool to read physical memory through /dev/mem
This is useful for low level debugging on embedded targets.
Sources can be found at e.g. http://sources.buildroot.net/devmem2.c

Thanks!
