Chapter 1 Introduction
1.4 CodeWarrior Development Studio tools
This section talks about some important tools of CodeWarrior Development Studio.
Programming for StarCore 3900FP DSP processors is much like programming for any other CodeWarrior platform target. If you have not used CodeWarrior tools before, start by studying the Eclipse IDE, which is used to host the tools.
Note that CodeWarrior Development Studio for StarCore 3900FP DSP Architectures uses the Eclipse IDE, whose user interface is substantially different from the "classic"
CodeWarrior IDE. For more details on these interface differences, see CodeWarrior
Development Studio Common Features Guide
available in the
<CWInstallDir>\SC\Help\PDF\ folder.
The following are some important tools of CodeWarrior Development Studio:
•
•
•
•
•
•
CodeWarrior Profiling and Analysis tools
1.4.1 Eclipse IDE
The Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is an open-source development environment that lets you develop and debug your software. It controls the project manager, the source code editor, the class browser, the compilers and linkers, and the debugger. The Eclipse workspace organizes all files related to your project. This allows you to see your project at a glance and navigate easily through the source code files.
The Eclipse IDE has an extensible architecture that uses plug-in compilers and linkers to target various operating systems and microprocessors. The IDE can be hosted on
Microsoft Windows, Linux, and other platforms. There are many development tools available for the IDE, including C, C++, and Java compilers for desktop and embedded processors
For more information about the Eclipse IDE, read the Eclipse documentation at: http://www.eclipse.org/documentation/

CodeWarrior Development Studio tools
1.4.2 C Compiler
The StarCore C Compiler:
• Conforms to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C standards.
• Conforms to version 1 of the StarCore Application Binary Interface ( ABI) standards.
• Supports a set of Digital Signal Processor ( DSP) extensions.
• Supports International Telecommunications Union (ITU)/European
Telecommunications Standards Institute ( ETSI) primitives for saturating arithmetic.
Additional parameters are available for non-saturating arithmetic and doubleprecision arithmetic.
• Allows standard C constructs for representing special addressing modes.
• Supports a wide range of runtime libraries and runtime environments.
• Optimizes for size, speed, or a combination of both, depending on options that you select.
The compiler can link all application modules before optimizing. By examining the entire linked application before optimizing, the compiler produces highly optimized code. The compiler performs many optimizations, such as:
• software pipelining
• instruction paralleling and scheduling
• data and address register allocation
• aggressive loop transformations, including automatic unrolling
For more information, see the StarCore C/C++ Compiler User Guide.
1.4.3 Assembler
The CodeWarrior StarCore assembler is a standalone assembler that translates assemblylanguage source code to machine-language object files or executable programs. Either you can provide the assembly-language source code to the assembler, or the assembler can take the assembly-language source code generated by the compiler.
For each assembly-language module in a build target, the StarCore assembler can generate a file that lists the generated code side-by-side with the assembly-language source code.
For more information, see the StarCore Assembler User Guide.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.4.4 Linker
CodeWarrior Eclipse IDE for Power Architecture processors supports two types of linkers:
• CodeWarrior linker
• GCC linker
The StarCore Linker combines object files into a single executable file. You specify the link mappings of your program in a Linker Command File (LCF).
For more information, see the StarCore Linker (SC3000) User Guide.
1.4.5 Debugger
The CodeWarrior StarCore debugger controls the execution of your program and allows you to see what is happening internally as the program runs. You can use the debugger to find problems in your program.
The debugger can execute your program one statement at a time and suspend execution when control reaches a specified point. When the debugger stops a program, you can view the chain of function calls, examine and change the values of variables, and inspect the contents of registers.
The debugger allows you to debug your CodeWarrior project using either a simulator or target hardware.
The debugger communicates with the board through a monitor program (such as
CodeWarrior TRK) or through a hardware probe (such as CodeWarrior USB TAP).
1.4.6 CodeWarrior Profiling and Analysis tools
CodeWarrior Profiling and Analysis tools provide visibility into an application as it runs on the simulator and hardware. This visibility can help you understand how your application runs, as well as identify operational problems. The tools also provide user friendly data viewing features:

CodeWarrior IDE
• Simultaneously step through trace data and the corresponding source and assembly code of that trace data
• Export source line information of the performance data generated by the simulator into an Excel file
• Export the trace and function data generated by simulator and target hardware into an
Excel file
• Apply multi-level filters to isolate data
• Apply multi-level searches to find specific data
• Display results in an intuitive, user friendly manner in the trace, critical code, and performance views
• Show or hide columns and also reorder the columns
• Copy and paste a cell or a line of the trace, alu-agu and performance data generated by simulator and target hardware
• Control trace collection by using start and stop tracepoints to reduce the amount of unwanted trace events in the trace buffer making the trace data easier to read
• View the value of the DPU counters in form of graphs (pie charts and bar charts) while the application is in debug mode
• Display real time cycle count for simulated targets to allow quick monitoring of evolution of application in time

1.5 CodeWarrior IDE
This section explains the CodeWarrior IDE and tells how to perform basic IDE operations.
While working with the CodeWarrior IDE, you will proceed through the development stages familiar to all programmers, such as writing code, compiling and linking, and debugging. See CodeWarrior Development Studio Common Features Guide for:
• Complete information on tasks, such as editing, compiling, and linking
• Basic information on debugging
The difference between the CodeWarrior development environment and traditional command-line environments is how the software, in this case the CodeWarrior IDE, helps you manage your work more effectively.
CodeWarrior Development Studio for StarCore 3900FP DSP Architectures Targeting Manual, Rev. 10.9.0,

Chapter 1 Introduction
The following sections explain the CodeWarrior IDE and describe how to perform basic
CodeWarrior IDE operations:
•
•
•
•
•
1.5.1 Project files
A CodeWarrior project is analogous to a set of make files, because a project can have multiple settings that are applied when building the program. For example, you can have one project that has both a debug version and a release version of your program. You can build one or the other, or both as you wish. The different settings used to launch your program within a single project are called launch configurations.
The CodeWarrior IDE uses the CodeWarrior Projects view to list all the files in a project. A project includes files, such as source code files and libraries. You can add or remove files easily. You can assign files to one or more different build configurations within the project, so files common to multiple build configurations can be managed simply.
The CodeWarrior IDE itself manages all the interdependencies between files and tracks which files have changed since the last build.
The CodeWarrior IDE also stores the settings for the compiler and linker options for each build configuration. You can modify these settings using the IDE, or with the
#pragma statements in your code.
1.5.2 Code editing
CodeWarrior IDE has an integral text editor designed for programmers. It handles text files in ASCII, Microsoft® Windows® and UNIX® formats.
To edit a file in a project, double-click the file name in the CodeWarrior Projects view.
CodeWarrior IDE opens the file in the editor associated with the file type.

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
23
CodeWarrior IDE
The editor view has excellent navigational features that allow you to switch between related files, locate any particular function, mark any location within a file, or go to a specific line of code.
1.5.3 Compiling
To compile a source code file, it must be among the files that are part of the current launch configuration. If the file is in the configuration, select it in the CodeWarrior
Projects view and select Project > Build Project from the CodeWarrior IDE menu bar.
To automatically compile all the files in the current launch configuration after you modify them, select Project > Build Automatically from the CodeWarrior IDE menu bar.
1.5.4 Linking
Select Project > Build Project from the CodeWarrior IDE menu bar to link object code into a final binary file. The Build Project command makes the active project up-to-date and links the resulting object code into a final output file.
You can control the linker through the IDE. There is no need to specify a list of object files. The workspace tracks all the object files automatically.
You can also modify the build configuration settings to specify the name of the final output file.
1.5.5 Debugging
Select Run > Debug from the CodeWarrior IDE menu bar to debug your project. This command downloads the current project's executable to the target board and starts a debug session.
NOTE
The CodeWarrior IDE uses the settings in the launch configuration to generate debugging information and initiate communications with the target board.

Building projects
In large workspaces, building the entire workspace can take a long time if users make changes with a significant impact on dependent projects. Often there are only a few projects that really matter to a user at a given time.
To build only the selected projects, and any prerequisite projects that need to be built to correctly build the selected projects, select Project > Build Project from the
CodeWarrior IDE menu bar.
Figure 2-9. Project Menu- Build Project
Alternatively, right-click on the selected project in the CodeWarrior Projects view and select Build Project from the context menu.

If auto-build is taking too long and is interfering with ongoing development, it can be turned off. Select Project > Build Automatically from the CodeWarrior IDE menu bar to disable auto-build mode.
NOTE
It is advised that you do not use the Build Automatically option for C/C++ development. Using this option will result in building the entire project whenever you save a change to the makefile or source files. This can take a significant amount of time for very large projects.
2.5 Deleting Projects
Using the options available in CodeWarrior IDE, you can delete a project and optionally the resources linked to the project.
To delete a project, follow these steps:
1. Select the project you want to delete in the CodeWarrior Projects view.
2. Select Edit > Delete.
The Delete Resources dialog box appears.
NOTE
Alternatively, you can also select Delete from the context menu that appears when you right-click the project.
3. Select the Delete project contents on disk (cannot be undone) option to delete the project contents permanently.
NOTE
You will not be able to restore your project using Undo, if you select the Delete project contents on disk (cannot be
undone) option.
4. Click OK.

Build Properties
This chapter explains build properties for StarCore projects. A project can contain multiple build and launch configurations.
A build configuration is a named collection of build tools options. The set of options in a given build configuration causes the build tools to generate a final binary with specific characteristics. For example, the binary produced by a Debug build configuration might contain symbolic debugging information and have no optimizations, while the binary product by a Release build configuration might contain no symbolics and be highly optimized.
NOTE
The settings of the CodeWarrior IDE's build and launch configuration correspond to an object called a target made by the classic CodeWarrior IDE.

Debug Configurations
A CodeWarrior project can have multiple associated debug configurations.
A debug configuration is a named collection of settings that the CodeWarrior tools use.
The CodeWarrior project wizard generates launch configurations with names that follow the pattern projectname - configtype - targettype, where:
• projectname represents the name of the project
• configtype represents the type of launch configuration
• targettype represents the type of target software or hardware on which the launch configuration acts
If you use the CodeWarrior wizard to create a new project, the IDE creates two debugger related launch configurations:
• a Debug configuration that produces unoptimized code for development purposes
• a Release configuration that produces code intended for production purposes
This chapter explains:
•

Option Typical Use Example
Debug a target system without modifying its state at all initially, but allow use of symbolics during actual debug.
Useful for debugging a system that is already up and running.
For more details, see
Raw debug of a board without any software or symbolics.
Useful during hardware bring up, and often combined with scripts for checking various aspects of the hardware. For more details, see
Develop code that gets downloaded to the system on debugger launch. Useful for bareboard code development without a working bootloader. For more details, see
.
Debug a target system using additional debugging features.
Useful when a Custom debug configuration may needs to be transformed into an Attach or Connect configuration. For more details, see
.
NOTE
The default debugger configuration causes the debugger to cache symbolics between sessions. However, the Connect command invalidates this cache. If you must preserve the contents of the symbolics cache, and you plan to use the
Connect command, clear the Cache Symbolics Between
Sessions checkbox in the Symbolics page of the Debug
Configurations dialog box just before you issue the Connect command.
The table listed below shows the debugging phases supported by the launch configurations at the run-time.
NOTE
The CodeWarrior Attach launch configuration does not support restarting a debugging session.

4.1.1.1.1 Attach
The Attach command assumes that code is already running on the board and therefore does not run a target initialization file.
The state of the running program is undisturbed. The debugger loads symbolic debugging information for the current build target's executable. The result is that you have the same source-level debugging facilities you have in a normal debug session (the ability to view source code and variables, and so on). The function does not reset the target, even if the launch configuration specifies this action. Further, the command loads symbolics, does not stop the target, run an initialization script, download an ELF file, or modify the program counter (PC).
NOTE
The debugger assumes that the current build target's generated executable matches the code currently running on the target.
In a debugging session, the CodeWarrior Attach launch configuration skips setting up the target hardware, and downloading the program image to that target hardware. The code image might reside on the target hardware already, or you might want to skip setting up the target hardware. Like the CodeWarrior Connect launch configuration, the settings in the Arguments and Environment panels do not apply.
Although similar to a debugging session, the goal of attaching the debugger to a process is to get insight into the current state of that process, and to do so with minimal disturbance to its state of execution. Having the debugger attach to a process skips most of the state-altering steps involved in starting a debugging session, such as resetting the target, initializing the target, and downloading code. When the debugger finishes attaching to the process, you have many of the debugging capabilities that you would have in a debugging session (such as source-level debugging, line breakpoints, watchpoints, console input/output, and so on).

Using Debug Configurations Dialog Box
NOTE
The debugger does not support restarting debugging sessions that you start by attaching the debugger to a process.
A process is an active program and related resources:
• Executing program code
• An address space
• One or more threads of execution. A thread is a unit of activity that has a program counter and a set of processor registers
• A data section
• A set of resources, such as open files and pending signals
On a bareboard (without an operating system), a given core has one process: one thread of execution executing one program in one address space. With an operating system, there can be several processes on a given core (with one active at any given moment).These processes either run different programs in different address spaces or even execute the same program, sharing an address space, open files, and so on.
4.1.1.1.2 Connect
The Connect command runs the target initialization file specified in the Properties for
<Target> dialog box.
This file is responsible for setting up the board before connecting to it. The Connect function does not load any symbolic debugging information for the current build target's executable. You therefore do not have access to source-level debugging and variable display. The Connect command resets the target if the launch configuration specifies this action. Further, the command stops the target, (optionally) runs an initialization script, does not load symbolics, download an ELF file, or modify the program counter (PC).
In a debugging session, the CodeWarrior Connect launch configuration skips downloading the code image to the target hardware, and loading symbolics into the debugger. Skipping these steps is useful for board initialization and bring-up. The code might reside on the target hardware already, or you might want to skip loading symbolics into the debugger.
Like the CodeWarrior Attach launch configuration, the settings in the Arguments and
Environment panels do not apply. The Source tab is available, however, so that you can specify source paths in order to load an image after connecting the debugger to the target.

Chapter 4 Debug Configurations
The Debug command resets the target if the launch configuration specifies the action.
Further, the command stops the target, (optionally) runs an initialization script, downloads the specified ELF file, and modifies the PC.
In a debugging session, the CodeWarrior Download launch configuration downloads the code image to the target hardware, and loads symbolics into the debugger. The
Source tab can be used to specify source paths in order to load an image after connecting the debugger to the target.

4.1.3.4 Symbolics
Use this page to specify whether the IDE keeps symbolics in memory.
CodeWarrior Development Studio for StarCore 3900FP DSP Architectures Targeting Manual, Rev. 10.9.0,
11/2015
118 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
Chapter 4 Debug Configurations
Symbolics represent an application's debugging and symbolic information. Keeping symbolics in memory, known as caching symbolics, is beneficial when you debug a large-size application.
Consider a situation in which the debugger loads symbolics for a large application, but does not download content to a hardware device and the project uses custom makefiles with several build steps to generate this application. In such a situation, caching symbolics helps speed up the debugging process. The debugger uses the readily available cached symbolics during subsequent debugging sessions. Otherwise, the debugger spends significant time creating an in-memory representation of symbolics during subsequent debugging sessions.
NOTE
Caching symbolics provides the most benefit for large applications, where doing so speeds up application-launch time.
If you debug a small application, caching symbolics does not significantly improve the launch times.

Description
Check this option to have the debugger cache symbolics between debugging sessions. If you check this checkbox and clear the
Create and
Use Copy of Executable checkbox, the executable file remains locked after the debugging session ends. In the
Debug view, right-click the locked file and select Un-target Executables to have the debugger delete its symbolics cache and release the file lock. The IDE enables this menu command when there are currently unused cached symbolics that it can purge.
Clear this option so that the debugger does not cache symbolics between debugging sessions.
Check this option to have the debugger create and use a copy of the executable file. Using the copy helps avoid file-locking issues with the build system. If you check this checkbox, the IDE can build the executable file in the background during a debugging session.
Clear this option so that the debugger does not create and use a copy of the executable file.

5.2.1.1 Running CCS
Each time you debug a project that uses a local CCS connection, the CodeWarrior IDE automatically starts CCS if it is not running already. Also, you can run CCS yourself from this location, where <CWInstallDir> is the path to your CodeWarrior installation:
<CWInstallDir>\ccs\bin\ccs.exe
If CCS is running, the icon appears in the Windows® taskbar. Right-click this icon to display the CCS context menu. The menu has these commands:
• Show Console: Displays the CCS console
• Hide Console: Hides the CCS console
• About CCS: Displays version information
• Quit CCS: Terminates CCS
5.2.1.2 Displaying CCS Console
The CodeWarrior Connection Server (CCS) console allows you to view and change server-connection options. You can issue commands by typing them into the commandline window or by selecting options from the console's menus.
To display CCS console, follow these steps:
1. Run
<CWInstallDir>\ccs\bin\ccs.exe
, where
<CWInstallDir>
is the path to your
CodeWarrior installation.
CCS starts and the icon appears in the Windows® taskbar.
2. Right-click the CCS icon and select Show console from the context menu.

5.4 Working with Breakpoints
A breakpoint is set on an executable line of a program; if the breakpoint is enabled when you debug, the execution suspends before that line of code executes.
The different breakpoint types that you can set are listed below:
• Software breakpoints: The debugger sets a software breakpoint into target memory.
When program execution reaches the breakpoint, the processor stops and activates the debugger. The breakpoint remains in the target memory until the user removes it.
The breakpoint can only be set in writable memory, such as SRAM or DDR. You cannot use this type of breakpoints in ROM.
• Hardware breakpoints: Selecting the Hardware menu option causes the debugger to use the internal processor breakpoints. These breakpoints are usually very few and can be used with all types of memories (ROM/RAM) because they are implemented by using processor registers.
Tip
You can also set breakpoint types by issuing the bp command in the Debugger Shell view.

5.4.1 Setting Breakpoints
This section explains how to set breakpoints within a program in CodeWarrior IDE.
To set a breakpoint, perform the following steps:
1. Switch to the Debug perspective in CodeWarrior IDE.
2. Open the Debug view if it is not already open by selecting Window > Show View >
Debug.
The Debug view appears, shown in the figure below.

Chapter 5 Working with Debugger
A blue dot appears in the marker bar to the left of the line (shown in the figure below). This dot indicates an enabled breakpoint. After the debugger installs the breakpoint, a blue checkmark appears beside the dot. The debugger installs a breakpoint by loading into the Java™ virtual machine the code in which you set that breakpoint.
Tip
An alternate way to set a breakpoint is to double-click the marker bar to the left of any source-code line. If you set the breakpoint on a line that does not have an executable statement, the debugger moves the breakpoint to the closest subsequent line that has an executable statement. The marker bar shows the installed breakpoint location. If you want to set a hardware breakpoint instead of a software breakpoint, use the bp
command in the Debugger Shell view. You can also right-click on the marker bar to the left of any source-code line, and select Set Special Breakpoint from the context menu that appears.

5.5 Working with Watchpoints
A watchpoint is another name for a data breakpoint that you can set on an address or a range of addresses in the memory.
The debugger halts execution each time the watchpoint location is read, written, or accessed (read or written). You can set a watchpoint using the Add Watchpoint dialog box. To open the Add Watchpoint dialog box, use one of the following views:
• Breakpoints view
• Memory view
• Variables view
CodeWarrior Development Studio for StarCore 3900FP DSP Architectures Targeting Manual, Rev. 10.9.0,
11/2015
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
169
Working with Watchpoints
The debugger handles both watchpoints and breakpoints in similar manners. You can use the Breakpoints view to manage both watchpoints and breakpoints. It means, you can use the Breakpoints view to add, remove, enable, and disable both watchpoints and breakpoints. The debugger attempts to set the watchpoint if a session is in progress based on the active debugging context (the active context is the selected project in the Debug view).
If the debugger sets the watchpoint when no debugging session is in progress, or when restarting a debugging session, the debugger attempts to set the watchpoint at startup as it does for breakpoints. The Problems view displays error messages when the debugger fails to set a watchpoint. For example, if you set watchpoints on overlapping memory ranges, or if a watchpoint falls out of execution scope, an error message appears in the
Problems view. You can use this view to see additional information about the error.
The following sections explain how to set or remove watchpoints:
•
•
5.5.1 Setting Watchpoints
Use the Add Watchpoint dialog box to create a watchpoint for a memory range. You can specify these parameters for a watchpoint:
• An address (including memory space)
• An expression that evaluates to an address
• A memory range
• An access type on which to trigger
To open the Add Watchpoint dialog box, follow these steps:
1. Open the Debug perspective.
2. Click one of these tabs:
• Breakpoints
• Memory
• Variables

This graphical representation shows how the register organizes bits. You can use this representation to select and change the register's bit values. Hover the cursor over each part of the graphical representation to see additional information.
Figure 5-21. Register Details - Bit Fields Group
Tip
You can also view register details by issuing the reg
command in the Debugger Shell view.
A bit field is either a single bit or a collection of bits within a register. Each bit field has a mnemonic name that identifies it. You can use the Field list box to view and select a particular bit field of the selected register. The list box shows the mnemonic name and bit-value range of each bit field. In the Bit Fields graphical representation, a box surrounds each bit field. A red box surrounds the bit field shown in the Field list box.
After you use the Field list box to select a particular bit field, you see its current value in the = text box. If you change the value shown in the text box, the Registers view shows the new bit field value.
The minimum resolution of bit field descriptions is 2 bits. Consequently, register details are not available for single-bit overflow registers.
The maximum resolution of bit field descriptions is 32 bits.
5.6.1.2 Changing Bit Fields
To change a bit field in a register, you must first start a debugging session, and then open the Registers view.

4. Specify information about the memory monitor:
• To enter a memory space and literal address, simply enter an address.
• To enter an expression, type in the expression. If you enter a literal address as the expression, use the prefix 0x to indicate hexadecimal notation, or use no prefix to indicate decimal notation. You can use the drop-down list to select a previously specified expression.
NOTE
If you do not select a memory space and the expression does not contain a memory space then the memory

space is set to default data memory space that is specific for each architecture
5. Select the Memory space checkbox to translate the memory address or the expression to another memory space.
The Memory space drop-down list is enabled.
6. Select one of the following values from the Memory space drop-down list:
Figure 5-27. Monitor Memory Dialog Box - Memory space Options
• Physical: Indicates that the specified address or expression refers to physical memory space.
• Data: Indicates that the specified address or expression refers to data memory space.
• Program: Indicates that the specified address or expression refers to program memory space.
• Physical cache - inhibited: Similar with the Physical memory space, but no cached information will be used when the data is displayed.
• SAP: The memory is accessible while the system is running. The target must not be running for the above listed memory spaces. While using this memory space, other memory spaces will not be available.
NOTE
This memory space is available only for hardware targets.
7. Click OK.
After evaluating the expression, an address and a memory space are generated. The debugger is responsible for converting the address and the memory space into a new address and other memory space that user selected.
The debugger uses the following rules to perform the address and memory space conversion:
CodeWarrior Development Studio for StarCore 3900FP DSP Architectures Targeting Manual, Rev. 10.9.0,
11/2015
184 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
Chapter 5 Working with Debugger
• If memory space is
NA
or it is not compatible with selected memory space, then the new expression address has the same value as evaluated address. For example,
Data:0x100
should be converted to
Program:0x100
, because the
Data and
Program
memory spaces are not compatible.
• If memory space is compatible with selected memory space, than the new expression address is computed based on the MMU information. For example,
Data:0x100
should be converted to
Physical:0x2100
based on MMU configuration
( data:0x0 --> physical:0x2000
).
NOTE
In both scenarios, the new address and new memory space for expression will be displayed in memory rendering label and title along with the original expression.
The memory monitor is added to the Monitors panel and the default rendering is displayed in the Renderings panel.
5.7.2 Adding Memory Rendering
You can use the Renderings tab page of the Memory view to examine the memory content, starting at any valid address. The information displayed in this page is read-only and cannot be used to modify the memory content.

For example, specify the appropriate target processor, any initialization files, and connection protocol.
5.14.3 Specify the Source Lookup Path
Source lookup path is specified in terms of the compilation path and the local file system path.
The CodeWarrior debugger uses both these paths to debug the executable file.
The compilation path is the path to the original project that built the executable file. If the original project is from an IDE on a different computer, you need to specify the compilation path in terms of the file system on that computer.
The local file system path is the path to the project that the CodeWarrior IDE creates to debug the executable file.
The CodeWarrior IDE supports automatic as well as manual path mapping.

5.14.3.1 Automatic Path Mapping
This section describes how to set automatic path mapping for your project.
The Automatic Path Mapping feature focuses on reducing as much as possible the manual steps required by the user to set up the path mapping settings to support source level debugging.
For automatic path mapping, use these steps:
1. In the CodeWarrior Projects view, expand Binaries folder.
2. Right-click the
*.eld
file and select Properties from the context menu that appears.
The Properties for <project>.eld dialog box appears.
3. Select Path Mappings from the list.
The Path Mappings page appears. The Path Mapping Configuration page displays every path mapping settings for the launch configurations associated with a project.
You can edit either a single set of settings for all launch configurations associated with a project or the settings for a given launch configuration by selecting the appropriate value from the launch configuration combo box.
Under each path mapping, the table displays a list of source files that exist in the binary executable that share the same source mapping prefix. In the Local Path column, a green ( ) is displayed if the file exists after being mapped by the destination path or a red ( ) if it does not. Also, the local path itself is displayed in red if it does not exist on the local file system.
A default folder named Files Not Mapped is created if the user explicitly removes existing mappings. All unmapped files that are not found on the file system are automatically shown under this folder.

7. In the Compilation path text box, enter the path to the parent project of the executable file, relative to the computer that generated the file.
For example, the computer on which you debug the executable file is not the same computer that generated that executable file. On the computer that generated the executable file, the path to the parent project is
D:\workspace\originalproject
. Enter this path in the Compilation path text box.
Tip
You can use the IDE to discover the path to the parent project of the executable file, relative to the computer that generated the file. In the C/C++ Projects view of the C/C+

Target Initialization File
This chapter explains the target initialization file and lists an example.
The initialization file is a text file that contains commands that tell the debugger how to initialize your hardware after reset but before downloading code. Use the initialization file commands to write values to various registers, core registers, and memory locations.
To use an initialization file, you must check the Use Initialization File box and specify the name of your initialization file in the Debugger settings panel.
The target initialization files for the StarCore 3900FP DSP targets are available at:
Windows
<CWInstallDir>\SC\StarCore_Support\Initialization_Files\RegisterConfigFiles\
For example,
B4860_QDS_Init.tcl

CodeWarrior Command-Line Debugging
CodeWarrior supports a command-line interface to some of its features including the debugger.
You can use the command-line interface together with various scripting engines, such as the Microsoft® Visual Basic® script engine, the Java™ script engine, TCL, Python, and
Perl. You can even issue a command that saves the command-line activity to a log file.
This chapter explains:

•
8.1 Working with Debugger Shell
You use the Debugger Shell view to issue command lines to the IDE.
For example, you enter the command debug
in this window to start a debugging session.
The window lists the standard output and standard error streams of command-line activity.

Tcl Support
8.2 Tcl Support
This section provides the following details on using the command-line debugger with Tcl script engine.
•
Resolution of Conflicting Command Names
•
•
8.2.1 Resolution of Conflicting Command Names
The names of several command-line debugger commands conflict with the Tcl commands.
The following table explains how the command-line debugger resolves such conflicts (if the mode is set to auto).
bp
Table 8-1. Resolving Conflicting Commands
Command Resolution
If you pass the command-line debugger a bp command from within a script and the command has arguments, the debugger invokes the Tcl break command. Otherwise, the debugger interprets a break command as a command to control breakpoints.
8.2.2 Execution of Script Files
Tcl usually executes a script file as one large block, returning only after execution of the entire file.
For the run command, however, the command-line debugger executes script files line-byline. If a particular line is not a complete Tcl command, the debugger appends the next line. The debugger continues appending lines until it gets a complete Tcl script block.
CodeWarrior Development Studio for StarCore 3900FP DSP Architectures Targeting Manual, Rev. 10.9.0,
11/2015
218 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
Chapter 8 CodeWarrior Command-Line Debugging
The following listing lists code that includes a script. For the Tcl source command, the debugger executes this script as one block. But for the run debug command, the debugger executes this script as two blocks: the set statement and the while loop.
Listing: Example Tcl Script
set x 0; while {$x < 5}
{ puts "x is $x"; set x [expr $x + 1]
}
NOTE
The run debug command synchronizes debug events between blocks in a script file. For example, after a go, next, or step command, run polls the debug thread state and does not execute the next line or block until the debug thread terminates.
However, the Tcl source command does not consider the debug thread state. Consequently, use the run debug command to execute script files that contain these debug commands: debug, go, next, stop, and kill.
8.2.3 Tcl Startup Script
The command-line debugger can automatically run a Tcl script each time you open the command-line debugger window.
This script is called a startup script.
You can use both Tcl and command-line debugger commands in the startup script. For example, you might include commands that set an alias or a define color configuration in a startup script.
To create a command-line debugger startup script, follow these steps:
1. Put the desired Tcl and command-line debugger commands in a text file.
2. Name this file tcld.tcl
.
3. Place tcld.tcl
in one of the directories listed below.
• On a Windows® PC, put tcld.tcl
in the system directory.
CodeWarrior Development Studio for StarCore 3900FP DSP Architectures Targeting Manual, Rev. 10.9.0,
11/2015
Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
219
Command-Line Debugging Tasks
For example, put tcld.tcl
in the
WINDOWS
directory.
• On a Solaris Workstation, put tcld.tcl
in your home directory.
NOTE
There is no synchronization of debug events in the startup script. Consequently, put the c debug command to the startup script and place these debug commands in another script so they will execute properly: debug
, go
, stop
, kill
, next
, and step
.

•
9.1 Creating a JTAG Initialization File
This section explains how to create a JTAG initialization file that specifies the type and chain order of the cores you want to debug.
The listing below shows the JTAG initialization file for a StarCore processor and a generic device, connected to a JTAG chain.
Listing 9-1. JTAG Initialization File for Generic Device Connected to JTAG Chain
# JTAG Initialization File
#
# Standards for this file
# 1. Comments begin with the character '#'.
# 2. A StarCore device is specified with:
# B4860
# 3. A non-StarCore device is specified with:
# Generic <Value_1> <Value_2> <Value_3>
# Value_1 is the length in bits of the JTAG instruction register.
# Value_2 is the length in bits of the JTAG bypass register.

Debugging Multi-Core Projects
# Value_3 is the hex value of the JTAG bypass instruction.
# Hex values are prefixed with 0x.
# 4. Each device is specified on a new line.
# 5. Device specification is case sensitive, and a Generic device
# cannot be specified without all three values.
#
#An example configuration is shown below:

You can also include entries for other StarCore, non-StarCore devices connected to the
JTAG chain by adding the following lines of code to your JTAG initialization file:
Generic
instruct_reg_len
data_reg_bypass_len
JTAG_bypass_instruct
The table below shows the variable definitions that you must specify for a generic device.
Table 9-1. Syntax Variables to Specify Generic Device on JTAG Chain
instruct_reg_len data_reg_bypass_len
JTAG_bypass_instruct
Variable Description
Length (in bits) of the JTAG instruction register.
Length (in bits) of the JTAG bypass register.

9.2 Debugging Multi-Core Projects
This section explains how to set launch configurations and how to debug multiple cores in a multi-core project.
The CodeWarrior debugger provides the facility to debug multiple StarCore processors using a single debug environment. The run control operations can be operated independently or synchronously. A common debug kernel facilitates multi-core, run control debug operations for examining and debugging the interaction of the software running on the different cores on the system.

10.3 Hardware diagnostics
The Hardware Diagnostics utility lets you run a series of diagnostic tests that determine if the basic hardware is functional.
These tests include:
• Memory read/write: This test only makes a read or write access to the memory to read or write a byte, word (2 bytes) and long word (4 bytes) to or from the memory.
For this task, the user needs to set the options in the Memory Access group.
• Scope loop: This test makes read and write accesses to memory in a loop at the target address. The time between accesses is given by the loop speed settings. The loop can only be stopped by the user, which cancels the test. For this type of test, the user needs to set the memory access settings and the loop speed.
• Memory tests: This test requires the user to set the access size and target address from the access settings group and the settings present in the Memory Tests group.

Hardware diagnostics
For Read operations, the Scope Loop test has an additional feature. During the first read operation, the hardware diagnostic tools store the value read from the hardware. For all successive read operations, the hardware diagnostic tools compare the read value to the stored value from the first read operation. If the Scope Loop test determines that the value read from the hardware is not stable, the diagnostic tools report the number of times that the read value differs from the first read value. Following table lists and describes the items in Loop Speed pane.

10.3.2.4.1 Walking Ones
This test detects these memory faults:
• Address Line: The board or chip address lines are shorting or stuck at 0 or 1. Either condition could result in errors when the hardware reads and writes to the memory location. Because this error occurs on an address line, the data may end up in the wrong location on a write operation, or the hardware may access the wrong data on a read operation.
• Data Line: The board or chip data lines are shorting or stuck at 0 or 1. Either condition could result in corrupted values as the hardware transfers data to or from memory.
• Retention: The contents of a memory location change over time. The effect is that the memory fails to retain its contents over time.
The Walking Ones test includes four sub-tests:
• Walking Ones: This subtest first initializes memory to all zeros. Then the subtest writes, reads, and verifies bits, with each bit successively set from the least significant bit ( LSB) to the most significant bit ( MSB). The subtest configures bits such that by the time it sets the MSB, all bits are set to a value of 1. This pattern repeats for each location within the memory range that you specify. For example, the values for a byte-based Walking Ones subtest occur in this order:
0x01, 0x03, 0x07, 0x0F, 0x1F, 0x3F, 0x7F, 0xFF
• Ones Retention: This subtest immediately follows the Walking Ones subtest. The
Walking Ones subtest should leave each memory location with all bits set to 1. The
Ones Retention subtest verifies that each location has all bits set to 1.
• Walking Zeros: This subtest first initializes memory to all ones. Then the subtest writes, reads, and verifies bits, with each bit successively set from the LSB to the
CodeWarrior Development Studio for StarCore 3900FP DSP Architectures Targeting Manual, Rev. 10.9.0,

Hardware diagnostics
MSB. The subtest configures bits such that by the time it sets the MSB, all bits are set to a value of 0. This pattern repeats for each location within the memory range that you specify. For example, the values for a byte-based Walking Zeros subtest occur in this order:
0xFE, 0xFC, 0xF8, 0xF0, 0xE0, 0xC0, 0x80, 0x00
• Zeros Retention: This subtest immediately follows the Walking Zeros subtest. The
Walking Zeros subtest should leave each memory location with all bits set to 0. The
Zeros Retention subtest verifies that each location has all bits set to 0.
10.3.2.4.2 Address
This test detects memory aliasing. Memory aliasing exists when a physical memory block repeats one or more times in a logical memory space. Without knowing about this condition, you might conclude that there is much more physical memory than what actually exists.
The address test uses a simplistic technique to detect memory aliasing. The test writes sequentially increasing data values (starting at one and increasing by one) to each successive memory location. The maximum data value is a prime number and its specific value depends on the addressing mode so as to not overflow the memory location.
The test uses a prime number of elements to avoid coinciding with binary math boundaries:
• For byte mode, the maximum prime number is 28-5 or 251.
• For word mode, the maximum prime number is 216-15 or 65521.
• For long word mode, the maximum prime number is 232-5 or 4294967291.
If the test reaches the maximum value, the value rolls over to 1 and starts incrementing again. This sequential pattern repeats throughout the memory under test. Then the test reads back the resulting memory and verifies it against the written patterns. Any deviation from the written order could indicate a memory aliasing condition.
10.3.2.4.3 Bus noise
This test stresses the memory system by causing many bits to flip from one memory access to the next (both addresses and data values). Bus noise occurs when many bits change consecutively from one memory access to another. This condition can occur on both address and data lines.

Chapter 10 Working with Hardware Tools
10.3.2.4.4 Address lines
To force bit flips in address lines, the test uses three approaches:
• Sequential- This approach works sequentially through all of the memory under test, from lowest address to highest address. This sequential approach results in an average number of bit flips from one access to the next.
• Full Range Converging- This approach works from the fringes of the memory range toward the middle of the memory range. Memory access proceeds in this pattern, where + number and - number indicate the next item location (the specific increment or decrement depends on byte, word, or long word address mode):
• the lowest address
• the highest address
• (the lowest address) + 1
• (the highest address) - 1
• (the lowest address) + 2
• (the highest address) - 2
• Maximum Invert Convergence- This approach uses calculated end point addresses to maximize the number of bits flipping from one access to the next. This approach involves identifying address end points such that the values have the maximum inverted bits relative to one another. Specifically, the test identifies the lowest address with all
0x5 values in the least significant nibbles and the highest address with all
0xA values in the least significant nibbles. After the test identifies these end points, memory access alternates between low address and high address, working towards the center of the memory under test. Accessing memory in this manner, the test achieves the maximum number of bits flips from one access to the next.
10.3.2.4.5 Data lines
To force bit flips in data lines, the test uses two sets of static data, a pseudo-random set and a fixed-pattern set. Each set contains 31 elements-a prime number. The test uses a prime number of elements to avoid coinciding with binary math boundaries. The sets are unique to each addressing mode so as to occupy the full range of bits.
• The test uses the pseudo-random data set to stress the data lines in a repeatable but pattern-less fashion.
• The test uses the fixed-pattern set to force significant numbers of data bits to flip from one access to the next.

Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

Hardware diagnostics
The sub-tests execute similarly in that each subtest iterates through static data, writing values to memory. The test combines the three address line approaches with the two data sets to produce six unique sub-tests:
• Sequential with Random Data
• Sequential with Fixed Pattern Data
• Full Range Converging with Random Data
• Full Range Converging with Fixed Pattern Data
• Maximum Invert Convergence with Random Data
• Maximum Invert Convergence with Fixed Pattern Data
10.3.3 Memory test use cases
The memory read /write and scope loop tests are host based tests. The host machine issues read and write action to the memory through the connection protocol. For example
CCS.
Memory tests are the complex tests that can be executed in two modes: Host based and
Target based depending upon the selection made for the Use Target CPU checkbox.
• Selected: Target Based
• Deselected: Host Based
The Host Based tests are slower than the Target Based tests.
10.3.3.1 Use Case 1: Execute host-based Scope Loop on target
You need to perform the following action to execute the host based scope loop on the target:
1. Select Scope loop in the Action Type.
2. Set Memory Access settings from the Memory Access section.
3. Set the speed used for the scope loop diagnostic from the Loop Speed section.
4. Save the settings.
5. Press Execute to execute the action.

Memory Management Unit Configurator
This chapter explains how to use the CodeWarrior Memory Management Unit (MMU)
Configurator. The MMU allows different user tasks or programs (usually in the context of an RTOS) to use the same areas of memory. To use the MMU:
• You set up a mapping for data and instruction addresses
• Enable address translation
The mapping links the virtual addresses to the physical addresses. Translation occurs before software acts on the addresses.
The MMU Configurator simplifies peripheral-register initialization of the MMU registers. You can use the tool to generate code that you can insert into a program. The inserted code initializes an MMU configuration or writes to the registers on-the-fly. Also, you can use the MMU Configurator to examine the status of the current MMU configuration.
Use the MMU Configurator to:
• Configure MMU general control registers
• Configure MMU program memory-address-translation properties
• Configure MMU data memory-address-translation properties
• Display the current contents of each register
• Write the displayed contents from the MMU Configurator to the MMU registers
• Save to a file (in a format that you specify) the displayed contents of the MMU
Configurator

Maple Memory Management Unit Configurator
This chapter explains how to use the Maple Memory Management Unit (MMU)
Configurator. To use the Maple MMU:
• You set up a mapping for data addresses
• Enable address translation
The mapping links the virtual addresses to the physical addresses. Translation occurs before software acts on the addresses.
The Maple MMU Configurator simplifies peripheral-register initialization of the Maple
MMU registers. You can use the Maple MMU Configurator to examine the status of the current Maple MMU configuration.
Use the Maple MMU Configurator to:
• Configure Maple MMU general control registers
• Configure Maple MMU memory-address-translation properties
• Display the current contents of each register
• Write the displayed contents from the Maple MMU Configurator to the Maple MMU registers

14.2 Disassembler Utility
Use the Disassembler utility to convert the ELF object files to SC3900fp assembly code.
The object files can be linked (
.eld
) or non-linked (
.eln
and
.elb
).
In the interactive mode, you provide hexadecimal encoding, which the disassembler converts to assembly code. The disassembler can dump labels, equ directives, and section information such as type and alignment.
Additional features include:
• Interpretation of relocation information
• Data disassembling
• Label (symbol) address output
• Padding awareness (alignment)
• Statistics display
To invoke the disasmsc100
utility from the command prompt, type:
disasmsc100 [option ...] <srcfile>

-------------------------------------------------------
Ensure that you read these additional considerations while using the Disassembler utility:
1. If there is data in the text sections, for example, you wrote assembling code and used dcb statements, the disassembler tries to match data with instructions.
2. Disassembly happens incrementally. If no instruction matches the current bytes from the data stream, the disassembler dumps two bytes as data ( dcb
directives) and then tries to match an instruction starting with the next bytes. Code alignment due to the
ALIGN assembler directive can lead to this situation.
3. The disassembler does not consider
.bss
-like sections (
SHT_NOBITS
); it also ignores all symbols defined inside such sections.
4. The disassembler follows this algorithm to generate loopstart-loopend
pseudoinstructions: a. Traverse source file VLES by VLES, incrementing PC at each step b. Disassemble input file c. Memorize label of each dosetup
instruction found d. For each lpmarkx
instruction found, use information gathered from doen
/ dosetup instructions to compute loopstart
/ loopend
index and location
However, as this algorithm is not flow sensitive, it fails in cases like the one discussed in the following listing.

NOTE
The disassembler does not know which doen corresponds to loopstart3
, so ends up with an unmatched doen
instruction and prompts fatal error message. Disassembly is still possible if you omit the
f
command-line option.
14.3 ELF File Dump Utility
Use the Executable and Linking Format (ELF) file Dump Utility to output the headers of absolute and linkable object files in a human-readable format.
The information produced by the utility depends on the selected ELF object file type:
• Absolute (executable) -- Default output is ELF header, all program headers, and all sections headers.
• Linkable (relocatable) -- Default output is ELF header and all section headers.
To invoke the ELF dump utility from the command-line prompt, type: sc100-elfdump [option ...] <elf-file>
NOTE
The ELF dump utility is in this directory:

To create an S-record output called led_output.s
from the combined object files, the sc100elf2xx
utility is called, as the code in the following listing shows. The
-t srec
selects an Srecord output format. The
-o led_output.s specifies the name of the output file. The
-m b4860
selects the device. Finally, all four input
.eld files specify the object code to combine.
Listing: Running ELF2XX Utility for Multiple Input Files
installDir\SC\StarCore_Support\compiler\bin >sc100-elf2xx -t srec -o led_output.s -m b4860 -#0 project.eld -#1 c1_project.eld
-#2 c2_project.eld -#3 c3_project.eld
To create an S-record output without any
.bss
section records, the sc100-elf2xx
utility is called as shown in the following listing.
Listing: Running ELF2XX Utility for Multiple Input Files
installDir\SC\StarCore_Support\compiler\bin >sc100-elf2xx -t srec
-DumpUninitializedData=Off -removeAllBss bss_table_file.txt -m b4860 -
#0 project.eld -#1 c1_project.eld -#2 c2_project.eld -#3 c3_project.eld
-removeAllBss bss_table_file.txt option ensures that all the bss sections are eliminated, no mater where they are placed, based on the information in the bss_table_file.txt
file.

14.4.1 L1 Defense Support
This section describes the L1 defense support in the elf2xx utility for StarCore 3900FP
DSPs.
When reloading a core’s image, the loader must know what it should load without interfering with the running state of the other cores. In order to be able to do this, the loader (debugger or boot loader) must know which parts of the image are private and which are shared. It loads only the private parts or, in case multiple cores are restarted, also the image parts shared between the restarted and reloaded cores.
Based on the information in the segment header, the sc100-elf2xx
tool generates multiple images for each core: one containing the private code, and some other – one for each sharing space (cluster, multiple clusters, whole platform). Based on the output name, you will know to which cores each file corresponds.
You can use the following command:

ELF2XX Utility
sc100-elf2xx -t bin -o binary_image.bin -SeparateBinFiles=On -DumpUninitializedData=Off -m b4860 -entry_address 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF -ccsr_address 0xffec40000 -#0 test.eld -#1 c1_test.eld -#2 test.eld -#3 test.eld -#4 c4_test.eld -#5 c5_test.eld
The generated files name appears as:
<visible_cores>_binary_image.bin
Where visible_cores represents the cores that the image is visible on. Syntax is:
<visible_cores> =
-cX_ if the segment is private
-cX_c(X+1) if the segment is shared on one cluster
Example,
If one segment is private on core c0, the image will be emitted in file: c0_binrary_image.bin
if one segment is shared on cluster 0, the image name will be: c0_c1_binary_image.bin
if the segment is shared on the whole platform, the image name will be: c0_c1_c2_c3_c4_c5_binary_image.bin
if the segment is shared among cluster 0 and 2, the image name will be: c0_c1_c4_c5_binary_image.bin
This behavior is available only for the
.bin
output format.
Each image will contain the necessary information for the loader to program the MMU descriptors.
14.4.2 Extract core specific images from multicore image
This feature allows you to extract the core specific ELD images from a multicore ELD image which must be generated by using sc100-elf2xx. The listing below shows how to create multicore image from the core specific images.
Listing: Creating multicore image from core specific images
installDir\SC\StarCore_Support\compiler\bin >sc100-elf2xx -t eld -m b4860
-#0 project.eld -#1 c1_project.eld -#2 c2_project.eld -#3 c3_project.eld
-#4 c4_project.eld -#5 c5_project.eld -merge-with-symbol-information=On -o project.elf
The core specific images are extracted from the multicore image by using sc100-elf2xx, as shown by the listing below.

Chapter 14 StarCore DSP Utilities
installDir\SC\StarCore_Support\compiler\bin >sc100-elf2xx -t eld -split b4860 project.elf -o project.eld
An ELD image is created for each core that has private segments in the multicore ELD image.
The image corresponding to core 0 will have the same name as the one provided to the
-o option ( project.eld
). The same name is used for the images corresponding the other cores but prefixed by the core identifier ( c1_project.eld
for core 1 and so on).
In order for the extracted core specific images to have the same contents (including debug information) as the original images used to create the multicore image, the multicore image should include symbol information. This behaviour is enabled by using the
-mergewith-symbol-information=On
command line option. Not specifying this option or setting it to
off
results in a multicore image that does not include symbol information and consequently, the core specific images obtained from splitting it will not include symbol information.
14.5 Name Utility
Use the name utility to display the symbolic information in each object file and library passed on the command line.
If a file contains no symbolics, the utility reports this fact.
To invoke the name utility from the command prompt, type: sc100-nm [-option ...] file ...
NOTE
The sc100-nm utility is in this directory:
<CWinstallDir>\StarCore_Support\compiler\bin
