Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH
Hello everybody,
I develop JTAG based flashing algorithms for TMS320 devices.
I want to be sure that, for every DSP family, I'm doing the rigth steps according to Uniflash or CCS debug session.
I know that both UniFlash and CCS are using a dedicated GEL (General Extension Language) file for a correct debug/programming flow (see below).
If I search for this file in my CCS folder and open it with a text editor I can see there are six reserved GEL functions:
/* StartUp() - Executed whenever CCS is invoked */
/* OnReset() - Executed after Debug->Reset CPU */
/* OnRestart() - Executed after Debug->Restart */
/* OnPreFileLoaded() - Executed before File->Load Program */
/* OnFileLoaded() - Executed after File->Load Program */
/* OnTargetConnect() - Executed after Debug->Connect */
Every function (except StartUp) has some C style code inside and its implementation often calls other GEL functions whose source code is not available.
Just to provide an example:
GEL_Reset(); /* Reset DSP */
GEL_Halt(); /* Halt the DSP */
Are those functions implemented within emulator's driver files?
Is there a way to know which emulation registers have been written and in which sequence without reverse engineering?
Thank you in advance for any kind of answer.
Federico
