2.3.3 Configuring Tracer
Tracer has its own section in the ARMulator peripherals configuration file
(
peripherals.ami ):
{ Default_Tracer=Tracer
;; Output options - can be plaintext to file, binary to file or to RDI log
;; window. (Checked in the order RDILog, File, BinFile.)
RDILog=False
File=armul.trc
BinFile=armul.trc
;; Tracer options - what to trace
TraceInstructions=True
TraceRegisters=False
OpcodeFetch=True
;;Normally True is useful, but sometimes it's too expensive.
TraceMemory=True
;TraceMemory=False
TraceIdle=True
TraceNonAccounted=False
TraceEvents=False
;;If there is a non-core bus, do we trace it (as well).
TraceBus=True
;; Flags - disassemble instructions; start up with tracing enabled;
Disassemble=True
TraceEIS=False
StartOn=False
}
where:
RDILog instructs Tracer to output to the RDI log window (in AXD) or the
console (under
armsd ).
File defines the file where the trace information is written.
Alternatively, you can use
BinFile to store data in a binary format.
The other options control what is being traced:
TraceInstructions traces instructions.
TraceRegisters traces registers.
OpcodeFetch traces instruction fetch memory accesses.
TraceMemory traces memory accesses.
TraceIdle traces idle cycles.
