Overview

The TASKING EMBEDDED DEBUGGER is a real-time, source-level debugger that is fully integrated into the Eclipse environment. It is not only a cost-effective solution to verify software functionality, it is also a very effective solution for verifying software during mass production. The debugger uses low cost debug probes to connect to the physical targets and also supports software simulators.

BENEFITS

Multi-core Support

  • Displays data of individual cores simultaneously for quick debugging.
  • Identification of core registers and code by the color of their views to eliminate errors.

C++, C and Assembly level debugging

  • Simulators for all cores (TriCore, PCP, 8051, HSM and MCS) are included.
  • On-chip debugging is supported through Infineon's Device Access Server (DAS).
  • Board support from Infineon and 3rd-parties.

Expressions View

  • Evaluate and watch regular C expressions that contain register names, variables or target functions calls.
  • Makes debugging fast and accurate.

Trace View

  • Debugger supports basic instruction tracing on most simulators, giving you flexibility to choose the simulator.
  • Updated automatically each time the target halts, giving you instant access to accurate information.
  • Uses the execution environment's trace buffer along with symbolic information generated during compilation to speed up debugging.

Single-Stepping

  • Single-step through your code at source level or at assembly level, into or over procedure calls — use the debugger at whatever level you need.
  • Single-stepping allows you to check variables and program flow to ensure correctness.

Kernel Support

  • Support for real-time operating systems (RTOS) debugging for various kernels to provide flexibility.

Multi-window Graphical User Interface

  • Eclipse-based for quick learning.
  • Lets you examine all kinds of information, including registers, the stack, and variables.
  • Each window is updated when execution stops.
  • Design and save a screen using Eclipse perspectives to customize your workflow.

Flashing

  • Integrated support for programming flash memory — no additional software needed.
  • Flash interface allows additional binaries (multiple files) to be flashed at once — speeding up the process.

Breakpoints

  • Breakpoints halt program execution and return control to you — halt the program at critical points of program execution and observe values of important variables.
  • Multiple breakpoint types: file, function, address, stack, data, instruction, cycle and timer to provide all the information you need.
  • Breakpoints can be set independently of the availability of source code in a project. File and symbol information will be obtained from the ELF object file.

File System Simulation (FSS)

  • Debug without actual input and output devices present, letting you debug individual modules as they are written.
  • Input data from the keyboard or a file, so you can simulate multiple conditions.
  • Output to a window or a file for easy examination.
  • View the data in several formats, including hexadecimal and character — whichever is most appropriate for your use.
  • Simulate an unlimited number of I/O ports and display the data — allows you to simulate many I/O scenarios.

DEBUGGING ENVIRONMENT

  • TASKING Embedded Debugger v1.0r1 supports binaries created using the TASKING TriCore VX Toolset v4.2r2 and higher.
  • TASKING Embedded Debugger comes with TASKING Eclipse plug-ins, but you can also install it into your existing 64-bit MARS release of Eclipse (SR1 or SR2).

Note: for Embedded Debugger v1.0r1 and v1.0r2, please use the 32-bit MARS release.

  • Support for DAS v6.0 and v7.0 including DAP miniWiggler.
