AM2612: How to obtain debug information using the TI ARM toolchain?

Part Number: AM2612

Tool/software:

Hello Experts,

As we know, the debug information can be shown in the Expressions window of CCS. I want to obtain debug information from the .out file by my script.

I knew that there are some commands in ti-cgt-armllvm_4.0.1.LTS\bin such as tiarmreadelf could handle the .out file. Is there some commands could handle the .out file to get the debug information of varilables?

Hi,

I have re-assigned the thread to the compiler (SDTO) team, please expect some delay since the thread was re-assigned.

Regards,
Shaunak

Consider using the object file display utility tiarmofd. It can be used on object files, executable files, or libraries.

If you plan to process the Dwarf information, consider getting it in XML format. Here is a sample command:

tiarmofd -x -g --obj_display=none --dwarf_display=none,dinfo,types -o file.xml file.o

Thanks and regards,

I tried this and it worked. Are there any tools for parsing Dwarf information in XML format?

Not from TI. There are many open source solutions for parsing XML. Perhaps one of them also supports parsing Dwarf.

Thanks and regards,

In the Expressions window of CCS, I only need to input the class/structure variable name to obtain the debug information . Are there any commands in ti-cgt-armllvm_4.0.1.LTS\bin could get the debug information like Expressions window of CCS by inputting the class/structure variable name? I would be extremely grateful if you could provide a solution for parsing debug information of CCS's Expressions window.
