GEL_MemorySave()

Jaspreet Kaur Mann

Hi,

 I am using GEL_MemorySave() to save a block of data from a particular address to a file. I have noticed that the function GEL_MemorySave() does not allow to save the file as a .bin file.

Does anyone know how I can save the file as .bin using this GEL function?

 

Thanks

    Hello,

    GEL does not support load/saving data of binary file formats. If you are using CCSv4 or greater, I recommend using Debug Server Scripting. There are APIs for loading/saving memory using binary file (memory.loadRaw() and memory.saveRaw() ).

    Thanks

    Hello Ki,

    Thanks for mentioning about Debug Server Scripting (DSS).

    I have never used DSS before, however I have managed to make it up and running on my system after reading from the TI wiki.  

    But, I want to know is there any documentation which mentions about the key list of functions we need to mention in the script . By functions, I mean the how to setup target configuration file, setup of environment etc..

    Thanks

    Jaspreet

    Jaspreet,

    All the DSS documentation is mentioned on the wiki. Really, it is just the DSS wiki page and the API guide that comes with the product. I really recommend opening up the DSS examples in a text editor and walking through the script. The script is well commented and you should be able to get an idea of the key functions needed to create a basic script.

    Thanks

    Hello Ki,

    I have read some of the example files such as Loadti and the wiki you mentioned. However, in the Rhino Debugger there is no option for creating a new script.

    Also, is it possible that CCS Debug and DSS can work together because I want to debug the main program from CCS and use DSS just for loading and saving the data.

    Sincerely,

    Jaspreet

    Rhino is just a very basic debugger. Creating a new script fro Rhino is not supported. It is useful for just debugging existing scripts

    Yes, see:
