TMS320F28377D: Looking for DSS script for loading binary file on TMS320F28377D and extract trace files

Using DSS to flash binaries is quite simple. But you aslo mentioned debugging binary files. What kinds of debugging?

also i wanted to enable trace options.

Please explain what type of "trace options" you are looking for.

Thanks

ki 

find below java script which we are using for TI 28335.. similarly we wanted for TMS320F28377D

// Import the DSS packages into our namespace to save on typing
importPackage(Packages.com.ti.debug.engine.scripting);
importPackage(Packages.com.ti.ccstudio.scripting.environment);
importPackage(Packages.java.lang);

// Modify these variables to match your environment. Use forward slashes
var ccs6InstallDir = "C:/ti/ccsv6";
var RTRTWorksDir = "/CCS_temp";
var TargetCCXMLfile = "/CCS_temp/NewTargetConfiguration.ccxml";
var programToLoad = RTRTWorksDir + "/CCStest.out";
var logFile = RTRTWorksDir + "/log.xml";

// Create our scripting environment object - which is the main entry point
// into any script and the factory for creating other Scriptable Servers and Sessions
var script = ScriptingEnvironment.instance();

// Create a log file in the current directory to log script execution
script.traceBegin(logFile, ccs6InstallDir + "/ccs_base/scripting/examples/DebugServerExamples/DefaultStylesheet.xsl");
// Set trace levels for console and logs
script.traceSetConsoleLevel(TraceLevel.INFO);
script.traceSetFileLevel(TraceLevel.ALL);

script.traceWrite("Begin scripting session");

// Get the Debug Server and start a Debug Session
var debugServer = script.getServer("DebugServer.1");
debugServer.setConfig(TargetCCXMLfile);
var debugSession = debugServer.openSession(".*");

script.traceWrite("Connecting the Target");

// Connect to the CPU
debugSession.target.connect();

script.traceWrite("Target Connected");

// Load a program
debugSession.memory.loadProgram(programToLoad);

script.traceWrite("Loading the Program");

debugSession.expression.evaluate("GEL_LoadGel( \"/CCS_temp/rtrt28335.gel\")");

debugSession.breakpoint.add("exit.c",85);

script.traceWrite("Executing the Program");

// Run the target
debugSession.target.run();

// All done
debugServer.stop();
debugServer.stop();

script.traceWrite("End scripting session");

// Stop logging and exit.
script.traceEnd();

That is a fairly generic DSS script and should be easily migrated to support another device. You would just need to modify some of the parameters for your environment (GEL files, etc).

yes i have done those changes whereas i'm getting error as below 

"SEVERE: Could not open session. Found 6 devices matching: .* "

find updated script. is anything required for multi core? i mean for CPU1 nad CPU2 gel file?

// Import the DSS packages into our namespace to save on typing
importPackage(Packages.com.ti.debug.engine.scripting);
importPackage(Packages.com.ti.ccstudio.scripting.environment);
importPackage(Packages.java.lang);

// Modify these variables to match your environment. Use forward slashes
var ccs6InstallDir = "C:/ti/ccsv1040/ccs";
var RTRTWorksDir = "/CCS_temp";
var TargetCCXMLfile = "/CCS_temp/HeliSAS.ccxml";
var programToLoad = RTRTWorksDir + "/CCStest.out";
var logFile = RTRTWorksDir + "/log.xml";

// Create our scripting environment object - which is the main entry point
// into any script and the factory for creating other Scriptable Servers and Sessions
var script = ScriptingEnvironment.instance();

// Create a log file in the current directory to log script execution
script.traceBegin(logFile, ccs6InstallDir + "/ccs_base/scripting/examples/DebugServerExamples/DefaultStylesheet.xsl");
// Set trace levels for console and logs
script.traceSetConsoleLevel(TraceLevel.INFO);
script.traceSetFileLevel(TraceLevel.ALL);

script.traceWrite("Begin scripting session");

// Get the Debug Server and start a Debug Session
var debugServer = script.getServer("DebugServer.1");
debugServer.setConfig(TargetCCXMLfile);
var debugSession = debugServer.openSession(".*");

script.traceWrite("Connecting the Target");

// Connect to the CPU
debugSession.target.connect();

script.traceWrite("Target Connected");

// Load a program
debugSession.memory.loadProgram(programToLoad);

script.traceWrite("Loading the Program");

debugSession.expression.evaluate("GEL_LoadGel( \"/CCS_temp/f28377d_cpu1.gel\")");

debugSession.breakpoint.add("exit.c",85);

script.traceWrite("Executing the Program");

// Run the target
debugSession.target.run();

// All done
debugServer.stop();
debugServer.stop();

script.traceWrite("End scripting session");

// Stop logging and exit.
script.traceEnd();

Thanks for your immediate response.

// Load a program
debugSessionCPU1.memory.loadProgram(programToLoad);

after connecting do we need to loadprogram for both debugSessionCPU1 and debugSessionCPU2? or is it will communicate internally each other?

You can create a debug session for each CPU. That debug session will then only apply for that CPU. So if you want to duplicate behavior for each CPU, you must send the same command to each debug session instance.

i have update as below whereas i'm getting error for "var debugSessionCPU1 = debugServer.openSession("*", "C28xx_CPU1");" may i know wat is the issue?

ccxml file:

<cpu HW_revision="1.0" XML_version="1.2" desc="MAIN_FCC" description="C28xx CPU" deviceSim="false" id="C28xx_CPU1" isa="TMS320C28XX">
<property Type="choicelist" Value="0" id="Slave Processor"/>
<property Type="choicelist" Value="0" id="bypass"/>
</cpu>

java script:

// Get the Debug Server and start a Debug Session
var debugServer = script.getServer("DebugServer.1");
debugServer.setConfig(TargetCCXMLfile);
var debugSessionCPU1 = debugServer.openSession("*", "C28xx_CPU1");
var debugSessionCPU2 = debugServer.openSession("*", "C28xx_CPU2");

script.traceWrite("Connecting the Target");

// Connect to the CPU1
debugSessionCPU1.target.connect();

// Connect to the CPU2
debugSessionCPU2.target.connect();

script.traceWrite("Target Connected");

// Load a program
debugSessionCPU1.memory.loadProgram(programToLoad);
debugSessionCPU2.memory.loadProgram(programToLoad);

script.traceWrite("Loading the Program");

debugSessionCPU1.expression.evaluate("GEL_LoadGel( \"/CCS_temp/f28377d_cpu1.gel\")");
debugSessionCPU2.expression.evaluate("GEL_LoadGel( \"/CCS_temp/f28377d_cpu2.gel\")");

debugSessionCPU1.breakpoint.add("exit.c",85);
debugSessionCPU2.breakpoint.add("exit.c",85);

script.traceWrite("Executing the Program");

// Run the target
debugSessionCPU1.target.run();
debugSessionCPU2.target.run();

// All done
debugSessionCPU1.stop();
debugSessionCPU1.stop();

debugSessionCPU2.stop();
debugSessionCPU2.stop();

script.traceWrite("End scripting session");

// Stop logging and exit.
script.traceEnd();

Thanks for your response.. i could able to resolved this issue
