<h1>CMSIS Debug Support</h1>

<h2>Cortex-M3 ITM Debug Access</h2>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
The Cortex-M3 incorporates the Instrumented Trace Macrocell (ITM) that provides together with
|
|||
|
the Serial Viewer Output trace capabilities for the microcontroller system. The ITM has
|
|||
|
32 communication channels which are able to transmit 32 / 16 / 8 bit values; two ITM
|
|||
|
communication channels are used by CMSIS to output the following information:
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
<li>ITM Channel 0: used for printf-style output via the debug interface.</li>
|
|||
|
<li>ITM Channel 31: is reserved for RTOS kernel awareness debugging.</li>
|
|||
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<h2>Debug IN / OUT functions</h2>
|
|||
|
<p>CMSIS provides following debug functions:</p>
|
|||
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
<li>ITM_SendChar (uses ITM channel 0)</li>
|
|||
|
<li>ITM_ReceiveChar (uses global variable)</li>
|
|||
|
<li>ITM_CheckChar (uses global variable)</li>
|
|||
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<h3>ITM_SendChar</h3>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
<strong>ITM_SendChar</strong> is used to transmit a character over ITM channel 0 from
|
|||
|
the microcontroller system to the debug system. <br>
|
|||
|
Only a 8 bit value is transmitted.
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
<pre>
|
|||
|
static __INLINE uint32_t ITM_SendChar (uint32_t ch)
|
|||
|
{
|
|||
|
/* check if debugger connected and ITM channel enabled for tracing */
|
|||
|
if ((CoreDebug->DEMCR & CoreDebug_DEMCR_TRCENA) &&
|
|||
|
(ITM->TCR & ITM_TCR_ITMENA) &&
|
|||
|
(ITM->TER & (1UL << 0)) )
|
|||
|
{
|
|||
|
while (ITM->PORT[0].u32 == 0);
|
|||
|
ITM->PORT[0].u8 = (uint8_t)ch;
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
return (ch);
|
|||
|
}</pre>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<h3>ITM_ReceiveChar</h3>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
ITM communication channel is only capable for OUT direction. For IN direction
|
|||
|
a globel variable is used. A simple mechansim detects if a character is received.
|
|||
|
The project to test need to be build with debug information.
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
The globale variable <strong>ITM_RxBuffer</strong> is used to transmit a 8 bit value from debug system
|
|||
|
to microcontroller system. <strong>ITM_RxBuffer</strong> is 32 bit wide to enshure a proper handshake.
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
<pre>
|
|||
|
extern volatile int ITM_RxBuffer; /* variable to receive characters */
|
|||
|
</pre>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
A dedicated bit pattern is used to determin if <strong>ITM_RxBuffer</strong> is empty
|
|||
|
or contains a valid value.
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
<pre>
|
|||
|
#define ITM_RXBUFFER_EMPTY 0x5AA55AA5 /* value identifying ITM_RxBuffer is ready for next character */
|
|||
|
</pre>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
<strong>ITM_ReceiveChar</strong> is used to receive a 8 bit value from the debug system. The function is nonblocking.
|
|||
|
It returns the received character or '-1' if no character was available.
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
<pre>
|
|||
|
static __INLINE int ITM_ReceiveChar (void) {
|
|||
|
int ch = -1; /* no character available */
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
if (ITM_RxBuffer != ITM_RXBUFFER_EMPTY) {
|
|||
|
ch = ITM_RxBuffer;
|
|||
|
ITM_RxBuffer = ITM_RXBUFFER_EMPTY; /* ready for next character */
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
return (ch);
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
</pre>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<h3>ITM_CheckChar</h3>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
<strong>ITM_CheckChar</strong> is used to check if a character is received.
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
<pre>
|
|||
|
static __INLINE int ITM_CheckChar (void) {
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
if (ITM_RxBuffer == ITM_RXBUFFER_EMPTY) {
|
|||
|
return (0); /* no character available */
|
|||
|
} else {
|
|||
|
return (1); /* character available */
|
|||
|
}
|
|||
|
}</pre>
|
|||
|

<h2>ITM Debug Support in uVision</h2>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
uVision uses in a debug session the <strong>Debug (printf) Viewer</strong> window to
|
|||
|
display the debug data.
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
<p>Direction microcontroller system -> uVision:</p>
|
|||
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
<li>
|
|||
|
Characters received via ITM communication channel 0 are written in a printf style
|
|||
|
to <strong>Debug (printf) Viewer</strong> window.
|
|||
|
</li>
|
|||
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<p>Direction uVision -> microcontroller system:</p>
|
|||
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
<li>Check if <strong>ITM_RxBuffer</strong> variable is available (only performed once).</li>
|
|||
|
<li>Read character from <strong>Debug (printf) Viewer</strong> window.</li>
|
|||
|
<li>If <strong>ITM_RxBuffer</strong> empty write character to <strong>ITM_RxBuffer</strong>.</li>
|
|||
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<p class="Note">Note</p>
|
|||
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
<li><p>Current solution does not use a buffer machanism for trasmitting the characters.</p>
|
|||
|
</li>
|
|||
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|||

<h2>RTX Kernel awareness in uVision</h2>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
uVision / RTX are using a simple and efficient solution for RTX Kernel awareness.
|
|||
|
No format overhead is necessary.<br>
|
|||
|
uVsion debugger decodes the RTX events via the 32 / 16 / 8 bit ITM write access
|
|||
|
to ITM communication channel 31.
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<p>Following RTX events are traced:</p>
|
|||
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
<li>Task Create / Delete event
|
|||
|
<ol>
|
|||
|
<li>32 bit access. Task start address is transmitted</li>
|
|||
|
<li>16 bit access. Task ID and Create/Delete flag are transmitted<br>
|
|||
|
High byte holds Create/Delete flag, Low byte holds TASK ID.
|
|||
|
</li>
|
|||
|
</ol>
|
|||
|
</li>
|
|||
|
<li>Task switch event
|
|||
|
<ol>
|
|||
|
<li>8 bit access. Task ID of current task is transmitted</li>
|
|||
|
</ol>
|
|||
|
</li>
|
|||
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<p class="Note">Note</p>
|
|||
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
<li><p>Other RTOS information could be retrieved via memory read access in a polling mode manner.</p>
|
|||
|
</li>
|
|||
|
</ul>
