Bug#696704: Please enable "devmem" applet
Package: busybox
Version: 1.20.0-7
Severity: wishlist
The devmem applet is very useful for developing and debugging
low-level code, such as device drivers. It is particularly handy on
systems that do not have an external debug interface (JTAG).
Ubuntu currently packages the devmem2 program to meet this need, but
devmem2 is broken on 64-bit systems[1]. If CONFIG_DEVMEM is enabled
in the Debian busybox packages, there will be no need to fix (or
continue carrying) the devmem2 program.
