- Choose Help menu > Processor Architecture Manual.
• “RTOS Debugger” (rtos_<x>.pdf): TRACE32 PowerView can be extended for operating system-
aware debugging. The appropriate RTOS manual informs you how to enable the OS-aware
debugging.
• This manual does not cover the Cortex-A5x (ARMv8) cores, please refer to ”ARMv8-A
Debugger” (debugger_armv8a.pdf) if you are using this processor architecture.
• This manual does not cover the Cortex-M processor architecture, please refer to ”Cortex-M
Debugger” (debugger_cortexm.pdf) for details.
Warning
NOTE: To prevent debugger and target from damage it is recommended to connect or
disconnect the debug cable only while the target power is OFF.
Recommendation for the software start:
• Disconnect the debug cable from the target while the target power is off.
• Connect the host system, the TRACE32 hardware and the debug cable.
• Power ON the TRACE32 hardware.
• Start the TRACE32 software to load the debugger firmware.
• Connect the debug cable to the target.
• Switch the target power ON.
• Configure your debugger e.g. via a start-up script.
Power down:
• Switch off the target power.
• Disconnect the debug cable from the target.
• Power OFF the TRACE32 hardware.
