Valgrind-like tool for DSP/BIOS

we've got some memory issues (generally invalid reads due to something being freed in a seperate thread) and i'd really like something like valgrind for DSP/BIOS. it's quite hard just to debug in CCS at the moment since the errors are occuring across multiple threads and are very sensitive to timing.

Is there any tool like this? can purchase something if there is a commercial product, not particularly worried about cost

  • Colin,

    There are some commercial tools that have runtime analysis that you may want to check out from the following companies.

    • ParaSoft
    • Vector Software
    • Klocwork
    • LDRA

    These tools all integrate with CCS and provide various analysis features.

    Regards,

    John

  • thanks for that, these look like what i want, but i haven't gotten a response from any of them so i have yet to even get a trial
