CMSIS provides for Cortex-M3 / Cortex-M4 processor based microcontrollers debug support via the Instrumented Trace Macrocell (ITM).
|
|||
|
|
This document describes the available CMSIS Debug functions and the used methods.

<h2><a name="ITM_DbgAcc"></a>Cortex-M3 / Cortex-M4 ITM Debug Access</h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
The Cortex-M3 incorporates the Instrumented Trace Macrocell (ITM) that provides together with
|
|||
|
|
the Serial Viewer Output trace capabilities for the microcontroller system. The ITM has
|
|||
|
|
32 communication channels which are able to transmit 32 / 16 / 8 bit values; two ITM
|
|||
|
|
communication channels are used by CMSIS to output the following information:
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li>ITM Channel 0: used for printf-style output via the debug interface.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>ITM Channel 31: is reserved for RTOS kernel awareness debugging.</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|||
|
|
<h2><a name="DbgIn_DbgOut"></a>Debug IN / OUT functions</h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p>CMSIS provides following debug functions:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li>ITM_SendChar (uses ITM channel 0)</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>ITM_ReceiveChar (uses global variable)</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>ITM_CheckChar (uses global variable)</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3>ITM_SendChar</h3>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
<strong>ITM_SendChar</strong> is used to transmit a character over ITM channel 0 from
|
|||
|
|
the microcontroller system to the debug system. <br>
|
|||
|
|
Only a 8 bit value is transmitted.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<pre>
|
|||
|
|
static __INLINE uint32_t ITM_SendChar (uint32_t ch)
|
|||
|
|
{
|
|||
|
|
/* check if debugger connected and ITM channel enabled for tracing */
|
|||
|
|
if ((CoreDebug->DEMCR & CoreDebug_DEMCR_TRCENA) &&
|
|||
|
|
(ITM->TCR & ITM_TCR_ITMENA) &&
|
|||
|
|
(ITM->TER & (1UL << 0)) )
|
|||
|
|
{
|
|||
|
|
while (ITM->PORT[0].u32 == 0);
|
|||
|
|
ITM->PORT[0].u8 = (uint8_t)ch;
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
return (ch);
|
|||
|
|
}</pre>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3>ITM_ReceiveChar</h3>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
ITM communication channel is only capable for OUT direction. For IN direction
|
|||
|
|
a global variable is used. A simple mechanism detects if a character is received.
|
|||
|
|
The project to test need to be build with debug information.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
The global variable <strong>ITM_RxBuffer</strong> is used to transmit a 8 bit value from debug system
|
|||
|
|
to microcontroller system. <strong>ITM_RxBuffer</strong> is 32 bit wide to
|
|||
|
|
ensure a proper handshake.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<pre>
|
|||
|
|
extern volatile int32_t ITM_RxBuffer; /* variable to receive characters */
|
|||
|
|
</pre>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
A dedicated bit pattern is used to determine if <strong>ITM_RxBuffer</strong> is empty
|
|||
|
|
or contains a valid value.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<pre>
|
|||
|
|
#define ITM_RXBUFFER_EMPTY 0x5AA55AA5 /* value identifying ITM_RxBuffer is ready for next character */
|
|||
|
|
</pre>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
<strong>ITM_ReceiveChar</strong> is used to receive a 8 bit value from the debug system. The function is nonblocking.
|
|||
|
|
It returns the received character or '-1' if no character was available.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<pre>
|
|||
|
|
static __INLINE int32_t ITM_ReceiveChar (void) {
|
|||
|
|
int32_t ch = -1; /* no character available */
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
if (ITM_RxBuffer != ITM_RXBUFFER_EMPTY) {
|
|||
|
|
ch = ITM_RxBuffer;
|
|||
|
|
ITM_RxBuffer = ITM_RXBUFFER_EMPTY; /* ready for next character */
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
return (ch);
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
</pre>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3>ITM_CheckChar</h3>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
<strong>ITM_CheckChar</strong> is used to check if a character is received.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<pre>
|
|||
|
|
static __INLINE int32_t ITM_CheckChar (void) {
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
if (ITM_RxBuffer == ITM_RXBUFFER_EMPTY) {
|
|||
|
|
return (0); /* no character available */
|
|||
|
|
} else {
|
|||
|
|
return (1); /* character available */
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
}</pre>

<h2><a name="ITM_DbgSup"></a>ITM Debug Support in a Debugger</h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
The Debugger shall offer a dedicated console window for printf style debug input and output using the CMSIS defined ITM methods described above.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Direction: Microcontroller -> Debugger:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li>
|
|||
|
|
at the beginning of a debug session the debugger shall enable ITM trace on channel 0 and continuously snoop for channel 0 data on the ITM trace
|
|||
|
|
stream it receives from the Microcontroller's CoreSight ITM unit
|
|||
|
|
</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>
|
|||
|
|
data received via the ITM communication channel 0 is interpreted as charater and gets redirected into the dedicated <strong>Console Window</strong>
|
|||
|
|
</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Direction: Debugger -> Microcontroller:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li>
|
|||
|
|
at the beginning of a debug session the debugger shall seek for the presence of the global variable named <strong>ITM_RxBuffer</strong> in the debug
|
|||
|
|
information of the application being loaded
|
|||
|
|
</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>
|
|||
|
|
strings entered into the <strong>Console Window</strong> are written by the debugger as a stream of char values via the variable <strong>ITM_RxBuffer</strong>.
|
|||
|
|
</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>
|
|||
|
|
the debugger writes the next character into the <strong>ITM_RxBuffer</strong> only once the value has been read and the <strong>ITM_RXBUFFER_EMPTY</strong> value being set.
|
|||
|
|
(refer to: ITM_ReceiveChar()).
