16. Debugger Basics • So, why is it called debugging, anyway? • Terminology • Testing • Debugging • Types of errors • Symbolic debugging • UUT/DUT • Typical Debugger Capabilities • Display/modify machine state • Load/run/halt • Step • Breakpoints

17. Simulator • Runs on a host computer, and simulates execution of your code. No actual hardware required. • Strengths • Weaknesses

18. Native Debugger • Code is executed on a host computer with a compatible instruction set. • Strengths • Weaknesses

19. Resident Monitor • Monitor is a stand-alone program that runs on the UUT, typically communicates over serial interface to a terminal. • Strengths • Weaknesses

20. Remote Debugger • Similar to resident monitor, but only small debugger kernel on UUT. Main debugger software runs on a host computer connected to the UUT. • Strengths • Weaknesses

21. In-Circuit Emulator (ICE) • Replaces UUT CPU with hardware that gives full control of CPU pins (i.e. can run arbitrary bus cycles). Often contain overlay memory to allow testing of software before system hardware is available. May clamp over existing CPU that is soldered in place. • Strengths • Weaknesses

22. JTAG Emulators • Special serial interface to the device (IEEE 1149.1) • Boundary Scan Cell • Boundary Scan Chain • Emulation (Internal) Scan Chain • Strengths • Weaknesses

23. Code Development Tips • Use structured programming methods - no spaghetti code. • Use descriptive symbols and names. • Write comments as you go (or before!). • When fixing assembler errors, fix only the top one or two and re-assemble – a lot of the later errors may be due to the first few. • When debugging, verify what the registers are loaded with as compared to what you think (know?) they should be loaded with. • Textbook has a good section on this.

24. ARM7TDMIProcessor Core

25. ARM7 Operating Modes • User • Normal program execution mode • System • For running privileged operating system tasks • Supervisor • Protected mode for operating system • Abort • Used to implement process and/or memory protection • Undefined • Supports software emulation of unsupported instructions and unimplemented hardware coprocessors • FIQ • Fast interrupt mode • IRQ • General purpose interrupt handling

26. ARM7 Programmers’ Model • R15-R0 • Sixteen general-purpose registers • Special functions • R15 is the Program Counter (PC) • If R15 is the destination operand, some instructions will exhibit special behavior for mode changes • R14 is the Link Register (LR) • For subroutine calls, the return address is stored in LR. It be saved before calls are made in the subroutine. • R13 is used as the Stack Pointer (SP)

27. ARM7 Programmers’ Model (cont) • Current Process Status Register (CPSR) • Condition code flags (N, Z, C, V) • Interrupt disable bits (I, F) • Thumb mode enable (T) • Never change directly! • Mode select • These bits cannot be changed in User mode • Reserved bits • Do not alter the state of these bits for compatibility with future ARM products

28. ARM7 Programmers’ Model (cont) • Suspended Process Status Register (SPSR) • SPSR is only present when the CPU is operating in one of the exception modes • Each exception mode has its own SPSR, since exception handlers may cause other exceptions. • SPSR is a copy of the CPSR immediately before the exception mode was entered. • When returning from the exception, the value in SPSR is used to restore the CPSR to the proper state for the process that was interrupted.

29. ARM7 Register Banking

30. ARM7 Reset • CPSR • Supervisor mode • I & F set (interrupts disabled) • T cleared (ARM mode) • PC is cleared to 0x00000000 and an instruction fetched • This is the bootstrap instruction • All register values except PC and CPSR are indeterminate.

31. ARM7 Reserved Addresses

32. ARM7 Coprocessors • The ARM architecture is designed to support the addition of tightly-coupled hardware coprocessors (internal or external) • System control processor (CP15) • Floating-point coprocessor • Special instructions are used to read/write coprocessor registers • If the coprocessor is not implemented, an undefined instruction exception occurs, permitting software emulation of the coprocessor functions. • The ADuC7026 does not implement any coprocessors.

33. ARM7 Condition Codes

34. ARM7 Condition Codes (cont) • Things to remember when using conditions • Signed and unsigned arithmetic require different conditions to get same result • Unsigned HS equivalent to signed GE • The AL (always) condition is implied if no condition mnemonic is used • The meaning of the condition is true if op1 cond op2 • CMP R0, R1 • BLLT subroutine • Branch will be taken if R0 is less than R1 (signed)
