Trace file generation in Code composer studio.

With simulation, you can read about it here: http://www.tiexpressdsp.com/index.php/PDATS_Trace

Or with hardware: http://www.tiexpressdsp.com/index.php/XDS560_Trace

Hi steve,

Thank you  for your reply.

i had followed the instructions presented in wiki and i observed the trace in pdat format is getting generated, but the address in the trace file does not match with the ones in the actual program.i'm using the c5510 device simulator. can u please let me know if i need to change any settings such that both the addresses are same.

 I'm using the following code and code composer version is 3.1.0

void main(void)
{  
 int i;  

 int a = 10, b =5, c= 0;

 if(a== 10 && b ==5)
 c=5;
 else
 c=6; 

fun1();
}

Addresses for instructions (a = 10 , b = 5) are present in the trace file but the addresses correponding to "if" condition are not present in the trace file.

Gel file i had used is as follows:

 GEL_Go(main);
GEL_DriverString("START_PDATS_COLLECTION") ;GEL_TextOut("start of trace\n");     
 GEL_Go(fun1);
GEL_DriverString("STOP_PDATS_COLLECTION") ;
 GEL_TextOut("end of trace\n"); 
 
  // Output the text in GEL output window
    GEL_TextOut("End of Step 1\n");  .

Thanks in advance

Hi Sandeep,

             PDATS trace is not available on C5510 simulator and I am not sure how the trace got generated.

Supported configuration - http://www.tiexpressdsp.com/index.php/PDATS_Trace#Supported_Configuration

Hi mani,

when we configure the simulator for c5510 there are some options "Generate address trace". Ienabled the option and the trace is getting generated.But that option is not available for C6416 Cycle simulator. Please let me know if we need to enable the trace from different options

thanks
