<h2><a name="About"></a>About</h2>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<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>&nbsp;</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) &amp;&amp;
(ITM-&gt;TCR & ITM_TCR_ITMENA) &amp;&amp;
(ITM-&gt;TER & (1UL &lt;&lt; 0)) )
{
while (ITM-&gt;PORT[0].u32 == 0);
ITM-&gt;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>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<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 -&gt; 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 -&gt; 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()).
</ul>
