Viewing the NEON and CP15 registers on CCSv4

Angelo Joseph

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP3530

I am using the OMAP3530 with the USB560M emulator on CCSv4. I would like to view the CP15 registers from within CCSv4. Is there a way to read this. I see that there is a keyword CP15_CONTROL_REGISTER for example that accesses the control register of CP15. Is there documentation for these keywords for accessing the various registers.

Angelo,

The keywords are defined in: ccsv4\common\targetdb\Modules\cortexA8_NotVisible.xml

There are a bunch in there for NEON as well. I see some NEON register groups in my register view (NEON_CM, NEON_PRM).

Regards,

John

Thanks for the path to the xml files - I added the required ones to my register view and now I can see it. Btw the NEON_CM, NEOM_PRM are not the registers that I was looking - they are just power domain control registers for the NEON co-processor. The ones I was looking for were the D0_NEON to D31_NEON. Anyway thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

HI,

I try to debug the Neon code on OMAP 4330 and cannot see the Neon registers

(see my topic http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/47738.aspx ).

As I understand, all these registers are described in cortexA9_NotVisible.xml file.

I do not know, what should I do with this file to see these registers.

Thanks, Dmitry.
