V11.01

Advanced Debug Functionality Background Information


V11.01


V11.01

Sampling Information in the Trace Buffer I

• A good trace system requires

― An emulation controller that provides visibility of the internal memory bus to the

outside world (via dedicated trace bus or message port)

― A trace buffer inside the emulator that stores the information from the emulation

controller and other sources (clips, time base) in real-time

and for a long time

― A trigger that starts recording at dedicated conditions

― A qualifier that starts/stops recording for repetitive blocks of information

― Store the information in a file for documentation or backtrace capabilities


V11.01


V11.01

Sampling Information in the Trace Buffer II

• Same technique and buffer is used for different purposes

― Trace: Record complete instruction flow

― Profiling: Record entry and exits of functions and show

function timing

― Coverage: Record complete instruction flow and check

against source code and determine for every

instruction if executed or not


V11.01


V11.01

Logging Code Sequence Flow (Trace)

• Features

― Analyses the contents of the trace buffer and displays the sequence of

code flow with time information in the Trace Window

― Definition of simple to very complex triggers/qualifiers to catch any possible event

― Addition of lines to include events residing outside of the controller (AUX or clips lines)

― Addition of Time stamps

• Usage

― Tracing of hard real-time events to verify against the appropriate time requirements

― Find sporadic/intermittent program errors

• Benefits

― Non-intrusive (without influencing the real-time behavior of an application)

― Non-instrumented and optimized code (memory contents, not source code !)

― Verification of non-functional requirements (such as time constraints)

― Save and re-load sessions

― Report/Export format HTML, XML, and text

― Remote control and automate sessions with iSYSTEM’s API


V11.01


V11.01

Trace & Trigger


V11.01


V11.01

Time Measurement / Profiler • Features

― Analysis of the trace buffer for continuous time measurement of

• Functions (uses entry and exits of a functions)

• Variable read and write access (data profiler)

• RTOS tasks

• Usage

― Performance tuning to find bottlenecks within an application

― Statistics Mode (show time value of minimum, maximum, average and total execution time of

a function and the number of how many times this function was executed

― History Mode (show sequence of functions in a timing diagram)

― Off-line operation mode (analysis after trace buffer is full)

― Real-time operation mode (analysis while recording, endless)

• Benefits

― Measures NON-INSTRUMENTED, optimized code (memory, not source code !)

― Identify performance bottlenecks

― Analyze and optimize RTOS task dependencies

― Report/Export format HTML, XML, and text

― Remote control and automate sessions with iSYSTEM’s API


V11.01


V11.01

Profiler


V11.01


V11.01

Code Coverage

• Features ― Analysis of the trace buffer and comparison to the source code, specifically for

― all addresses executed/accessed while application is running (execution/access coverage)

― Creates reports to be used for certification documents

• Usage ― Statement coverage (executed / not executed)

― Decision coverage (analysis of conditional instructions)

― Off-line operation mode (analysis after recording)

― Real-time operation mode (analysis while recording, statement coverage only)

• Benefits ― Coverage of NON-INSTRUMENTED and optimized code over a long period of time

― Measure the quality of test cases

― Identify “dead” code and detect non-initialized variables

― Monitor stack consumption of an application

― Save, and RESTART or CONTINUE coverage sessions

― Report/Export format: HTML, XML, text

― Remote control and automate coverage sessions with iSYSTEM’s API
