CCS: help with scripting

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I am currently using TDA3xx.

I have a script that knows to connect ,load and run all of the cores.

I would like add to the script some code that after a specific core (say ARM IPU1_C1) reaches main scripts gets back control, do some modification on the memory and resume the core (continue the core's execution).

I have not found how to do the above and would appreciate if i can get guidance in how to do it

Thanks

Hi Guy,

I'm thinking of something like the below:

// Set a breakpoint at "main"
var main = debugSessionIPU1.symbol.getAddress("main");
var bp1 = debugSessionIPU1.breakpoint.add(main);

// Run until main is reached
do
{
debugSessionIPU1.target.run();
} while (debugSessionIPU1.expression.evaluate("PC") != main);

// Do some modification on the memory

// Resume execution

debugSessionIPU1.target.run();

Thanks

Thanks.

One more question from some reason after loading a program to the core (using memory.loadProgram) the core seems to start and halt at main().

Do you know how do i disable it from the script?

Thanks

The default behavior of CCS is to auto-run to main on program load. To disable that, you would need to set it in the debugger properties:

Hi,
Thank you.
I have looked at the document but from some reason when i try the command:
options.printOptions(".*") on the scripting console i get nothing out (if i try to check some valid option name i have seen mentioned it does return the value for the option but i cannot get the list of options and in particular what is the exact name for the autoStart)

Can you help resolving why the printOptions does not work ?

Thanks
Guy

printOptions can not output to the Scripting Console. It must be from a system terminal (DOS command window, etc)

Hi,

Thanks. i have never done it before - can you explain how do i open and work with an appropriate console from a system terminal (and how do i get to the same scripting environment in this console as in the scripting terminal)

Check out the below video at the 11 minute mark. I open a system console and run a DSS script:
