CCSV4.2 R1: Memory save not ok

Claudio06
Intellectual 1490 points

Hi

Using XDS560 on an OMAP4430 board, with latest CCSV4.2_CR1 I can not save data from the cortex m3 internal memory (local address 0)

It was ok with CCSv4.2 M9.

Selecting the CortexM3_0 core, In the memory window, rigth click -> Memory Save

 

The memory saved is not coherent with the value displayed in the memory windows

    Claudio,

    How exactly the saved data is not coherent? I tested here and I could save memory in several data sizes (Type-size parameter) and swapped/unswapped values (Swap parameter)

    If you notice that each byte is prepended with zeros, then try reducing the Type-size. Using your screenshot as an example, if the output file is 00000083 00000080 00000000 00000000 00000083 and so on, the memory save utility is reading the target memory byte-by-byte but saving it as a 32-bit value.

    If your data seems displaced, try to disable the Swap value. For example, if you enable Swap with Type-size 32-bit the output should be 00008083 01000083 5B6B0083 E1A20083 and so on.

    The attached files were obtained from CCS4.2.0.00018 with different settings. If you are seeing something different please let me know, ok?

    Regards,

    Rafael

    No the data are really different. It sounds the cortex M3 internal memory (at 0 from cortexm3 side)  is not seen from debugger

    here is the file saved corresponding to the memory windows you can see in the screen shot above

    did you try on a OMAP4430 board?  My CCS version is the 4.2.00017

    [Post modification]

    Note that if I save the data from the cortexa9_side, at address 0x55020000 which is the L3 address for M3 internal memory, I see correct values in the saved data

    Claudio,

    The file you sent is a TI data file format, a text file that contains the data in alphanumeric characters instead of the raw binary data. It is saved this way if you name the output file with the extension .dat.

    I got the exact same file output in the file below, by selecting Format as Hex and Type size as 32-bits.

    If you want to save the raw binary data, try to name the file something else other than .dat or .out extensions. I saved the file below using the same settings as above but with the extension .bin:

    These files were saved straight from the M3 core 0 of an OMAP4:

    Hope this helps,

    rafael,

     

    what is odd is that I also select the .bin extension, as you can see from the attached files.

    Waht is the difference between the ccsv4.2_0017 (mine) anthe ccsv4.2.00018 (yours)?

    Claudio,

    Very strange indeed; the two versions are absolutely identical from a functional standpoint.

    Were you able to save the file correctly this time or you are still having trouble?

    The file extension does not matter, as long as it is different than .dat or .out - the only two pre-formatted extensions used by CCS.

    Regards,

    Rafael

    raphael,

     

    No I still have the issue.

    Did you install the Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 ti_emupack_setup_5.0.219.0.exe emulation patch?

    maybe this could explain..

     


  • in reply to Claudio06
    TI__Guru**** 171809 points

    Claudio,

    That could be the reason. I have the "stock" 5.0.158.0.

    I will install the newer emupack and give it a shot.

    Cheers,

    Rafael
