CCS/TDA3XEVM: PC trace

Expert 7150 points
Part Number: TDA3XEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMDSEMUPROTRACE

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

My customer is using CCSv7 and TDA3x.

 

1) Can we trace EVE? For DSP, we can use PC Trace from CCS. However it doesn't look available for EVE.

 

2) For DSP, PC trace is available but the size of trace is limited because of ETB. Can we only trace Tasks and Interrupts so that we can collect long duration (e.g. 100ms).

 

Best regards,

Ken

  • Ken,

    1. Unfortunately no. The hardware does not provide any Trace capability for the EVE core.  

    2. The PC Trace is able to have triggers that can fence the code being traced. To set a simple range you can set the option as shown below:

    By clicking on Advanced Settings you can also add additional Ranges to be Traced. Keep in mind there is a limit to the number of ranges you can trace.  

    Just as an added note, the TDA3X EVM contains a MIPI-60 connector that allows using a fully feature Trace pod: the TMDSEMUPROTRACE. Additional details of its capabilities and an overview of the Trace functionality can be seen at:

    Hope this helps,
