isys::CDataController2 Class Reference

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!

  const int NUM_RUNS  = 100;   // perform so many iterations

  SBatchAccessHeader  BAH = {0};
  SBatchAccessItem    aBAI[NUM_ITEMS];

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
startstarting address. If both start and end are empty strings, then stack usage monitoring is disabled.
endend 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.
valuevalue 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().

◆ 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
accessFlagsuse IConnectDebug::EAccessFlags
memAreamemory space. Definitions for individual CPUs are provided in MemArea.h
aAddressaddress of the memory location
aNumMAUsnumber of MAUs (memory addressable units) to read.
bytesPerMAUNumber of BYTE type locations required to fit one MAU (memory addressable unit). The number of bytes required for every MAU is:
MAU Size in bitsBytes 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
IOExceptionin case of an error

Python example: test_read_write_memory.py

◆ readRegister()

CValueType isys::CDataController::readRegister ( IConnectDebug::EAccessFlags  accessFlags,

Parameters
accessFlagssee IConnectDebug::EAccessFlags for available flags, except fCacheCode
registerNamename of the register to read
Exceptions
IOExceptionin 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
dwHandlehandle of the SFR
typedefines 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

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
accessFlagsuse IConnectDebug::EAccessFlags, except fCore, and fSFR
memAreamemory area, definitions for individual CPUs are provided in MemArea.h
aAddressaddress of the memory location of the first access.
typevariable containing the type info of value to be read

◆ 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
accessFlagssee IConnectDebug::EAccessFlags for available flags, except fCacheCode
registerNamename of the register to write to
registerInfoa value to be written to the register
Exceptions
IOExceptionin 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
flagsflags of type ESFRValue. Values may be ORed together. Bit IConnectEclipse::svWrite is set by this method, so flags == 0 will perform write.
dwHandlehandle of the SFR
valuevalue 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.
