Debugger Modules

Almost all IDA debugger modules are available in the Starter Edition. The only exception is the Dalvik debugger, which is only available in IDA Professional.

Visit out processor gallery

The list of supported processor/OS/file format combinations is so large that it is not easy to enumerate it. Please look at our gallery to see some samples.

Unsupported Processors

If your target processor is not included in the list above, you have two options:

1. ask us to add support for the processor some time in the future: we welcome your feedback about which processor should be added to IDA.
2. use our Starter processor sdk and roll your own (free to all customers, but unsupported)
