Description

This class contains advanced methods, which are needed for complex projects, for example Eclipse debugger plug-in.

IMPORTANT: Resources allocated by calls to some methods of this class must be explicitly released. This is true also for managed languages like Java and C#. Improper allocation/releasing of resources may crash application!

  // Define item(s), iCounter in this case. Call CAddressController::getSymbolInfo()
  // to get aSizeMAUs, byMemArea, and aAddress of iCounter.

  aBAI[0].m_byFlags   = SBatchAccessItem::flRead;       // it's a read

inherited

Deprecated:: use CConfigurationController::ide_app() to control stack configuration instead. See python example.

Configures winIDEA options used for measuring stack usage. This method changes values of options Debug.StackUsage.* in winIDEA. This method must be called before download, for settings to take effect. After download you should call seedStack() without parameters to seed the stack memory region.

Parameters

start	starting address. If both `start` and `end` are empty strings, then stack usage monitoring is disabled.
end	end address - value at this address is not modified, so that `size = end - start`. If both `start` and `end` are empty strings, then stack usage monitoring is disabled.
value	value to write to the stack. Not that this value should not interfere with other values written to stack to get reliable stack usage with getStackUsage().

Python example: test_configure_stack_usage.py

evaluateFlags	define result format.
expression	any C syntax expression that evaluates to a lvalue

◆ readMemory()

std::vector< BYTE > isys::CDataController::readMemory	(	IConnectDebug::EAccessFlags	accessFlags,
		BYTE	memArea,
		ADDRESS_64	aAddress,
		ADDRESS_64	aNumMAUs,
		BYTE	bytesPerMAU
	)

inherited

This method reads memory block and returns data and access info.

Returned vector contains data in the first (aNumMAUs * bytesPerMAU) bytes, and access info in aNumMAUs bytes at offset (aNumMAUs * bytesPerMAU).

Access info bytes tell us, whether read for MAU succeeded or not. Each byte is set to ACCESS_OK or ACCESS_FAIL. These two constants are defined in globdefs.h.

Contents of the returned vector:

[(target memory data, size = aNumMAUs * bytesPerMAU) (access info, size = aNumMAUs)]

Parameters

accessFlags use IConnectDebug::EAccessFlags

memArea memory space. Definitions for individual CPUs are provided in MemArea.h

aAddress address of the memory location

aNumMAUs number of MAUs (memory addressable units) to read.

bytesPerMAU

Number of BYTE type locations required to fit one MAU (memory addressable unit). The number of bytes required for every MAU is:

MAU Size in bits	Bytes Required per MAU
1 - 8	1
9 - 16	2
17 - 32	4

Almost all microprocessors supported by our tools have 1 byte of data stored at one address, so this value is usually set to 1. winIDEA will check this parameter and return ICONNECT_E_SIZE in case of mismatch.

Exceptions

IOException in case of an error

Python example: test_read_write_memory.py

◆ readRegister()

CValueType isys::CDataController::readRegister	(	IConnectDebug::EAccessFlags	accessFlags,
		const std::string &	registerName
	)

inherited

For SFRs please use method evaluate().

Parameters

accessFlags	see IConnectDebug::EAccessFlags for available flags, except fCacheCode
registerName	name of the register to read

Exceptions

IOException in case of an error

Python example: test_read_write_register.py

◆ readSFR()

CValueType isys::CDataController2::readSFR	(	DWORD	dwHandle,
		const SType &	type
	)

Reads SFR.

IMPORTANT: Always check for error on return value: retVal.isError() to avoid misinterpretation of results!

Parameters

dwHandle	handle of the SFR
type	defines SFR type. Required to return valid CValueType object on output.

Returns: SFR value. The type info of return value is set to input parameter 'type'. If the call succeeds, but register value is not valid, CValueType.isError() returns true, and CValueType.getResult() returns error description.

Python example: test_read_write_sfr.py

◆ readValue()

CValueType isys::CDataController::readValue	(	IConnectDebug::EAccessFlags	accessFlags,
		BYTE	memArea,
		ADDRESS_64	aAddress,
		const SType &	type
	)

inherited

Reads a value from the target system.

This function resembles readMemory() but additionally it formats the value according to the type specified (including endian conversions).

Example:

debug = ic.CDebugFacade(cmgr)

varType = ic.SType()
varType.m_byBitSize = 32
varType.m_byType = ic.SType.tSigned

memArea = 0
addr = 1073768999

value = debug.readValue(ic.IConnectDebug.fMonitor, memArea, addr, varType)

print "Result = ", value.getInt()

Parameters

accessFlags	use IConnectDebug::EAccessFlags, except fCore, and fSFR
memArea	memory area, definitions for individual CPUs are provided in MemArea.h
aAddress	address of the memory location of the first access.
type	variable containing the type info of value to be read

Almost all microprocessors supported by our tools have 1 byte of data stored at one address, so this value is usually set to 1. winIDEA will check this parameter and return ICONNECT_E_SIZE in case of mismatch.

buff

vector, which contains data to be written to memory on the target. Languages other than C++ should instantiate class VectorBYTE for this parameter. Examples:

◆ writeRegister()

void isys::CDataController::writeRegister	(	IConnectDebug::EAccessFlags	accessFlags,
		const std::string &	registerName,
		const CValueType &	registerInfo

inherited

Writes value to the specified core register.

Example:

# bit size is 32, value is 1234567
r1Value = isystem.connect.CValueType(32, 1234567)
debug.writeRegister(IConnectDebug.fMonitor, 'R1', r1Value)

Longer way, if we use specific data types:

# first we should define value type
valueType = isystem.connect.SType()
valueType.m_byType = isystem.connect.SType.tSigned
valueType.m_byBitSize = 32

# create 'Value' with type and value
r0Value = isystem.connect.CValueType(valueType, 5678)

debug.writeRegister(0, "R0", r0Value)

Parameters

accessFlags	see IConnectDebug::EAccessFlags for available flags, except fCacheCode
registerName	name of the register to write to
registerInfo	a value to be written to the register

Exceptions

IOException in case of an error

Note: This method can modify only core registers. To modify SFRs please use the modify() method.

Python example : test_read_write_register.py

◆ writeSFR()

CValueType isys::CDataController2::writeSFR	(	DWORD	flags,
		DWORD	dwHandle,
		const CValueType &	value
	)

Writes value to SFR, then optionally reads it, to get the actual value.

The type part of CValueType is not used.

Parameters

flags	flags of type ESFRValue. Values may be ORed together. Bit `IConnectEclipse::svWrite` is set by this method, so flags == 0 will perform write.
dwHandle	handle of the SFR
value	value to be written to SFR

Returns: read SFR value, if IConnectEclipse::svWriteThenRead is set, otherwise the input value is returned. Type in return value is always the same as type of input value.

Python example: test_read_write_sfr.py

◆ writeValue() [1/2]

void isys::CDataController::writeValue	(	IConnectDebug::EAccessFlags	accessFlags,
		bool	isNotRefreshWinIDEAGUIAfterWrite,

This function resembles writeMemory() but additionally it formats the value according to the type specified (including endian conversions).

Parameters

accessFlags	use IConnectDebug::EAccessFlags, except fCore, fSFR, and fCacheXXX.
isNotRefreshWinIDEAGUIAfterWrite	if true, winIDEA windows are not refreshed after write operation - this speeds up operation.
