Best reference for understanding core file and debugging for different architectures

Hi ,

could someone suggest best reference for core file understanding , analysis , debugging for different architectures

like what registers represent what in a architecture specific core ..
how to get maximum information out of corrupted core
different tools and how they work and how to use them for core debugging etc

Corefiles are as different as the architectures and binary formats they come from. I do not think there is any general answer to what you want to know, because there is no general principe you could build on.

I hope this helps.
