Need debug support for Linux Operating System on ARM9, ARM11 or PowerPC?The debugger Universal
Debug Engine UDE supports the Linux Kernel and Application Debugging of ARM9, ARM11, PowerPC microcontrollers:
Linux for ARM9, ARM11, PowerPC
Linux
is a free Unix-like operating system. It is developed under the GNU
General Public License; the source code for Linux is freely available.
The embedded version of Linux is designed for devices with relatively
limited resources. It is optimized to target specific hardware
configurations and usage situations.
UDE SupportThe UDE
add-on enables Microsoft Windows based parallel debugging of a Linux
kernel and additional Linux applications within one user interface. The
ARM target processor will be connected with the kernel debugger
instance via the standard JTAG interface. An UDE view contains a remote
console interface to the Linux kernel, which enables loading and
unloading of kernel modules as well as controlling of the Linux system
in the running state. New modules are recognized by the debugger and
necessary symbol information will load automatically.
The
application debugger instances are connected with the target
application via common interfaces (i.e. Ethernet) by a modified 'gdb'
server running on the target. The Executable and Linking Format (ELF)
files (Linux kernel and applications) are thereby located and built on
a virtual Linux PC VMware Image that can be loaded by the VMware
Player. Via the Common Internet File System (CIFS), the Linux target
accesses a shared directory of the virtual Linux PC as a part of the
Linux target file system during development. This ensures data
consistency between host and target.
Typical Linux
applications access libraries only with their first use. In this case,
the debugger loads the required additional symbol information.
Furthermore, the breakpoints - already set from previous debug sessions
in these libraries - will be activated.
With the help of the
'ARM Linux Support' complementary tools and the Universal Debug Engine,
target Linux applications can be tested on normal Windows PCs, running
the VMware Image. Corresponding solutions for Freescale's
PowerArchitecture™ and Intel's XScale architecture are in preparation.
UDE Kernel debugging- Linux kernel version 2.6 is currently supported
- Linux kernel patches are delivered together UDE
- JTAG is used as communication channel between debugging of kernel module and UDE
UDE Debugging of Applications- Ability of parallel UDE kernel and application debugging
- Additional application examples make first steps very easy
- IP address and folder name must be provide to UDE via target configuration setting
- VMware image contains the application ELF-files, the kernel image and appropriated sources
- Ethernet interface between the target and the host system ( used from 'gdb' server) is required
