Cortex-M3 and +Cortex-M4 cores) support CoreSight debug/trace. +This note sketches an approach currently planned for those cores +with OpenOCD. + + This tracing data can help debug and tune ARM software, but not +all cores support tracing. Some support more extensive tracing +other cores with trace support +should be able to use the same +approach and maybe some of the same analysis code. + ++the Cortex-M3 is assumed here to be the ++core in use, for simplicity and to reflect current OpenOCD users. + + +This note summarizes a software model to generate, collect, and +analyze such trace data . That is not fully implemented as of early +January 2011, +and thus is not *yet* usable. ++ ++ ++Some microcontroller cores support a low pin-count Single-wire trace, +with a mode where +trace data is emitted (usually to a UART. To use +this mode, +SWD must be in use. ++At this writing, OpenOCD SWD support is not yet complete either. + +(There are also multi-wire trace ports requiring more complex debug +adapters than OpenOCD currently supports, and offering richer data. ++ ++ ++* ENABLING involves activating SWD and (single wire) trace. ++ ++current expectations are that OpenOCD itself will handle enabling; +activating single wire trace involves a debug adapter interaction, and +collecting that trace data requires particular (re)wiring. ++ ++* CONFIGURATION involves setting up ITM and/or ETM modules to emit the ++desired data from the Cortex core. (This might include dumping ++event counters printf-style messages; code profiling; and more. Not all ++cores offer the same trace capabilities. ++ ++current expectations are that Tcl scripts will be used to configure these ++modules for the desired tracing, by direct writes to registers. In some ++cases (as with RTOS event tracking and similar messaging, this might ++be augmented or replaced by user code running on the ARM core. ++ ++COLLECTION involves reading that trace data, probably through UART, and ++saving it in a useful format to analyse For now, deferred analysis modes +are assumed, not than real-time or interactive ones. ++ ++ ++current expectations are to to dump data in text using contrib/itmdump.c ++or derived tools, and to post-process it into reports. Such reports might ++include program messaging (such as application data streams via ITM, maybe ++using printf type messaging; code coverage analysis or so forth. Recent ++versions of CMSIS software reserve some ITM codespace for RTOS event +tracing and include ITM messaging support. +Clearly some of that data would be valuable for interactive debugging. ++ ++Should someone get ambitious, GUI reports should be possible. GNU tools ++for simpler reports like gprof may be simpler to support at first. ++In any case, OpenOCD is not currently GUI-oriented. Accordingly, we now ++expect any such graphics to come from postprocessing. + + measurments for RTOS event timings should also be easy to collect. ++Examples include context and message switch times, as well as times +for application interactions. ++ diff --git a/contrib/itmdump.c b/contrib/itmdump.c new file mode 100644 index 00000000..1c484d0a --- /dev/null +++ b/contrib/itmdump.c @@ -0,0 +1,441 @@ +/* + * Copyright (C) 2010 by David Brownell + * + * This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify + * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by + * the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at + * your option) any later version. + * + * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, + * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
