  4. PEEK/POKE Lab

  5. Building the Project • This is the main builder window

  6. Building the Project • Once all files are present in project workspace, building is readily done

  7. The Baseline Application Project Configuration Files (*.bld); Source path, System include directories, etc. Included Libraries; ThreadX, TCP/IP Stack, Drivers, BSP Integration C and Assembly Source Files; Common to all Projects Linker File (*.lx); Map the Software to the Hardware Memory Map

  8. Perform Final Initializations Spawn all BSP Threads tx_thread_create() In root.c netosStartup() applicationStart() Path to Application Entry Point Contains main() BSPROOT.C Creates Root Thread

  9. “Hello World” From root.c…

  10. Connecting to Target (1of 3) • In the Builder, choose Remote > Connect to Target.

  11. Connecting to Target (2 of 3) • Enter OCDSERV command line.

  12. Connecting to Target (3 of 3) • Two new windows • IN/OUT –Displays Printf’s • TARGET—can read/write to Memory/CPU

  13. Starting Debugger • In the Builder select Debug > debug

  14. Debugger Features • Set Break Points-Software and Hardware • Step through code • Examine C-code • Examine Interlaced Assembly • Examine values of variables, registers, memory

  15. Debugger Windows • Interlaced Assembler displayed • Color enhanced buttons

  16. Download code to Target • Click“play” button or (F5)

  17. Run Program • Program is Running • Use breakpoints or step through code

  18. “PEEK/POKEing” variables • Globals • Use “Browse/Globals” • Double-click the variable of interest to see contents • Address will appear in command window • If structure, click to display members, double click to see contents • Right-click the popup box to change value • Local variables • Use View/Local Variables • Works similar to “Browse/Globals” above • Double click a variable name from debugger C listing to get a watch popup box

  19. “PEEK/POKEing” Memory • Click “View/Memory” • Enter address of interest in popup box • Select radix using button • Click on a row to change the contents • Explore other options of the popup box

  20. “PEEK/POKEing” registers • Remember, most registers of interest on Net+ARM are memory-mapped. Consult your Hardware Reference Guide. • For ARM processor registers: • Use “View/Registers” • In the popup box, right-click a register number to change it. CAREFUL!
