Host Tools

Programs that run on the developer's Linux machine, not on Impossible OS, and work with its formats: disk images, IXFS partitions, serial logs, crash output and the BlackBox log partition. They build with the host's own compiler through bash sdk/build.sh, separately from the kernel. Only the build script and the IXFS mount tool exist as SDK tools; most of the planned tools already have a working stand-in elsewhere in the repository, which each page names.

Built

Document	Topics
SDK Build System	`sdk/build.sh`: compiler and dependency detection, tool discovery, adding a tool
IXFS Mount (Linux)	FUSE mount of an IXFS partition from an image or USB drive; currently behind the kernel's on-disk format

Planned

One page per roadmap file, each following the page contract and naming what works today.

Document	Topics
Address Resolver (ixfs-addr2line)	Address to function, line and source; today `llvm-addr2line-19` and `build/kernel.map`
Crash Decoder (crash-decode)	One-command crash analysis from the serial `[PANIC]` block or the crash screen
Boot Log Analyzer (serial-analyze)	Boot timing, warnings and two-log comparison; today `boot_timeline.py` and the smoke log
Disk Image Inspector (disk-inspect)	GPT, IXFS metadata and raw sectors; today `bootimg.py inspect`
IXFS Consistency Checker (ixfs-fsck)	Host-side check and repair; the kernel's `ixfs_fsck()` already exists
BlackBox Log Extractor	Logs, events and boot records off the BlackBox partition; today `read-blackbox.sh`
