to Use GDB with JTAG Emulation
|
Emulators (In-Circuit Emulator, JTAG Emulator or ICE) for PowerPC, MIPS, Xscale and ARM Debug
Emulators are used to debug, bring up and test complex embedded sytems. Traditional In-Circuit Emulators (ICEs) have fallen out of favor as the debug tool of choice and are being replace by so called: JTAG Emulators. JTAG Emulators do not require special "Bond Out" versions of a processor to operate and so, they are easier for tools vendors to build. The time saved using JTAG on-chip emulation (the emulation features built into modern CPUs) can be used to create better tool features and an eleavated user experience.
Our Guardian-SE JTAG Emulators (ICE) use JTAG Emulation to provide the folowing debug features:
JTAG Emulator Features
| Processor Reset |
Sends a JTAG command or toggles a hardware reset line to reset the processor |
Memory Read |
Sets up a memory read cycle using JTAG, executes the cycle and returns the result. |
| Memory Write |
Sets up a memory write cycle using JTAG, executes the cycle and writes a value to memory |
| Register Read |
Reads on-chip or off chip registers |
| Register Write |
Writes on-chip or off chip registers |
| Single Stepping |
Steps the processor 1 assembly instruction at a time |
Run the processor |
Starts the processor running |
| Set Break Points |
Causes the processor to stop on execution of an instruction, read, write or access of a data location. Both hardware (works on FLASH based code) and Software (works on RAM based code) and DATA Breaks are supported |
| Stop the Processor |
Halts a running processor |
| Run JTAG Hardware Tests |
Tests Memory on your target system |
| Initilaize Devices |
Sends commands to devices to configure them for proper operation |
| Hot Plug into a Running or Crashed Target |
Lets you plug the JTAG connector into a powered up target without disturbing the target's state. Target info can be read while the system is running or crashed. |
| ID FLASH |
Detects the type of FLASH and how it is configured in your system |
| Program FLASH Devices |
Program FLASH devices |
| Erase FLASH Dev ices |
Erase FLASH devices |
| Verify FLASH Devices |
Verify that the device was correctly programmed |
| Run commands, Macros and initialization files |
Allows users to define custom commands and scripts |
| Debug with GNU/GDB |
Supports Source Level debug using GDB Based debug tools and Guardian-SE JTAG |
| Download |
Download code to RAM |
| Custom Registers |
Create Custom registers to support and device type |
| BSDL Pin Scan |
Uses a BSDL file to display the state of all processor pins using JTAG |
| U-Boot debug |
Allows you to Debug the UBOOT Boot Loader |
| Embedded LINUX Debug |
Allows you to debug Embedded LINUX Kernels and Loadable Modules |
| Dissasemble |
Displays memory as processor instructions |

JTAG Debugger
Our Guardian-SE
JTAG Emulator hardware gives you the debug power of a traditional
In-circuit Emulator (ICE) at a
fraction of the
price by leveraging the ON-CHIP debug capability built into the
microprocessor. When used with Guardian-SE, the Agile-DB debug tool
gives you fast easy access to all your target details in a clean,
consistant interface.
Agile-DB
breaks new ground with a unique new way to organize your target's
detail for maximum productivity. With Agile-DB, simply drag-and-drop
the exact debug information you need to any window you wish. Create
custom views with exactly what you need to focus on a debug problem.
With Agile-DB, you always have the debug power you need at your
fingertips wen you need it most.
