Debugger Basics
  • So, why is it called debugging, anyway?
  • Terminology
  • Testing
  • Debugging
  • Types of errors syntax, linker, logical
  • Symbolic debugging
  • UUT/DUT
  • Typical Debugger Capabilities
  • Display/modify machine state
  • Load/run/halt
  • Step-into / step-over
  • Breakpoints

17
Simulator
  • Runs on a host computer, and simulates execution
    of your code. No actual hardware required.
  • Strengths
  • Useful for testing before hardware available,
    especially algorithm verification
  • Can use file input to simulate external
    interfaces
  • Weaknesses
  • Slow host must execute many instructions for
    each simulated instruction usually not possible
    to get real-time performance
  • Difficult to simulate complex processor
    environment and interactions need to have models

18
Native Debugger
  • Code is executed on a host computer with a
    compatible instruction set.
  • Strengths
  • Full speed execution
  • Can use file input to simulate external
    interfaces
  • Weaknesses
  • Debugger and UUT share same resources best
    suited for non-I/O parts of code
  • Must have a host computer with a compatible
    instruction set - not always available.

19
Resident Monitor
  • Monitor is a stand-alone program that runs on the
    UUT, typically communicates over serial interface
    to a terminal.
  • Strengths
  • Facilitates downloading and full-speed execution
    and debugging of code on actual hardware
  • Weaknesses
  • Usually have simple command set (i.e. LOAD, GO,
    etc.) and limited ability to display system state
  • Monitor uses system resources, may alter
    performance of UUT software or require additional
    resources
  • Program can crash monitor program

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
  • Facilitates downloading and full-speed execution
    of code on actual hardware
  • Usually support more advanced features (i.e.
    symbolic debugging, data visualization, etc.)
  • Weaknesses
  • Kernel uses (fewer) resources, may alter
    performance of UUT software or require additional
    resources
  • Program can crash debug kernel

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
  • Complete visibility and control of CPU activity
  • Can set breakpoints on arbitrary bus operations
    (i.e. read X from Y)
  • Record and playback execution traces
  • Weaknesses
  • Expensive!

22
JTAG Emulators
  • Special serial interface to the device (IEEE
    1149.1)
  • Boundary scan cell
  • Boundary scan chain
  • Emulation (internal) scan chain
  • Background debug support
  • Strengths
  • No extra hardware except for small connector
  • Complete control over CPU state and operation
  • Can use for production and field
    testing/debugging
  • Weaknesses
  • Relatively slow must load/retrieve CPU serially
  • Actually stops CPU when loading/retrieving

23
Hardware-Assisted Debug
  • In microprocessors with on-chip nonvolatile
    memory (like the ADuC7026), it is not feasible to
    set software breakpoints
  • Debug hardware is added to support debugging in
    these conditions
  • Code breakpoint registers
  • Data breakpoint registers
  • ARM7 combines both of these into a watchpoint
    register set

24
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.

ARM7TDMIProcessor Core
26
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
  • Two classes of aborts data abort, prefetch
    abort
  • Undefined
  • Supports software emulation of unsupported
    instructions and unimplemented hardware
    coprocessors
  • FIQ
  • Fast interrupt handling
  • IRQ
  • General purpose interrupt handling

27
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 and interrupts/exceptions,
    the return address is stored in LR. It must be
    saved before calls are made in the subroutine.
  • R13 is used as the Stack Pointer (SP)

28
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

29
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.

30
ARM7 Register Banking
31
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

32
ARM7 Reserved Addresses
33
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

34
ARM7 Condition Codes
35
ARM7 Condition Codes (cont)
  • Things to remember when using conditions
  • Signed and unsigned arithmetic require different
    conditions to get same result
  • Unsigned HI 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)
