Using software breakpoints with RealView debugger

Dec 16, 2004 0 Replies

We had a problem of setting software breakpoints in RVD. The solution we found is this:



All you have to do is to set two parameters, called "code sequence code address" and "code sequence code size".



They are reached from the "Device properties" area in the "Debug" tab of the "Register" pane of the RVD. These parameters define a memory area, into which the RVI software upload a code sequence, that performs different necessary operations. This area of RAM must be: =B7 unused by the target =B7 readable =B7 writable =B7 non-cacheable (for cached targets) =B7 at least 128 bytes in size YOU NEED TO DO IT BEFORE ANY MEMORY OPERATION ARE DONE
