CCS/AM3358: CCS 9.0.1.00004 Page Table Visibility DSS API's can display confusing information if the target is running

Part Number: AM3358

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Using CCS 9.0.1.00004 running under Ubuntu to check the MMU configuration in ti-processor-sdk-rtos-am335x-evm-05.01.00.11/pdk_am335x_1_0_12/packages/MyExampleProjects/USB_DevMsc_evmAM335x_armExampleProject found that the when calling the Page Table Visibility DSS API's from the CCS Scripting Console that they display confusing information if the target is running. Used a AM335x Starter Kit with onboard XDS100v2.

1. If the target is running then ptvSummary displays a zero TTBR0 Base Address:

js:> ptvSummary 
MMU mode is Short Format ( 32 Bit )  
 Number of root page tables is 1 
TTBR0 Base Address=0x0 Min VA=0x0 Max VA=0xffffffff 

And address lookups report no mapping:

js:> ptvLookupAddress 0x47401400
Virtual Address = 0x0000000047401400 --> Physical Address = Not mapped 
 = > 
    TTBR0 Base Address = 0x0 
    Min VA = 0x0 
    Max VA = 0xffffffff 
     = > 
        Type = Invalid 
        Index = 0x474 
        Min VA = 0x0 


js:> ptvReverseLookup 0x47401400
Physical Address = 0x0000000047401400 --> Virtual Address = Not mapped 

2. Whereas if the target is halted the expected MMU mode summary and mappings are reported:

js:> ptvSummary 
MMU mode is Short Format ( 32 Bit )  
 Number of root page tables is 1 
TTBR0 Base Address=0x80200000 Min VA=0x0 Max VA=0xffffffff 


js:> ptvLookupAddress 0x47401400
Virtual Address = 0x0000000047401400 --> Physical Address = 0x0000000047401400 
 = > 
    TTBR0 Base Address = 0x80200000 
    Min VA = 0x0 
    Max VA = 0xffffffff 
     = > 
        Type = L1 Section 
        Index = 0x474 
        Min VA = 0x47400000 
        Min PA = 0x47400000 
        Region Size = 0x100000 
        S = 0x0 
        AP[1:0] = 0x3 
        nG = 0x0 
        AP[2] = 0x0 
        NS = 0x0 
        TEX[2:0] = 0x0 
        XN = 0x1 
        Domain[3:0] = 0x0 


js:> ptvReverseLookup 0x47401400
Physical Address = 0x0000000047401400 --> Virtual Address = 0x0000000047401400 

Can the Page Table Visibility DSS API's be changed to display a message if the target is running, and produce no output, rather than producing confusing MMU information?
