The ARM Agilent Debug Interface allows the ARM Developer SuiteTM debuggers to work with Agilent hardware tools in debugging of ARM cores. There are two major components of the ARM Agilent Debug Interface, Run Control and Trace Capture. The product is structured to allow these components to be used together or separately with other hardware, the debugger loading DLLs from the ARM Agilent Debug Interface as appropriate to the functionality required. Run control
The first 'run-control' component allows the debugger to carry out JTAG based debugging using an Agilent Emulation Probe. The user specifies the network address of the probe, the cores in the target ASIC, and the particular core to be debugged. A network connection is then made to the emulation probe and the configuration downloaded. Thereafter the probe manages a virtual connection between the debugger and debugged core across the network. Other debuggers can attach to other ARM cores in the device, each invocation automatically picking up the current configuration. The probe transparently manages the interdependencies between all these connections and prevents multiple connections to the same core. Trace Capture
A second 'trace capture' component allows the debugger to work with an appropriate Agilent Analyzer in capture and display of real-time trace (from cores with ARM's Embedded Trace Macrocell). To do this, the user specifies a network address and the type of analyzer. A network connection is then made to that device and thereafter all trace captured is routed to the corresponding debugger. More than one core can be traced simultaneously by using an Agilent Emulation Probe for each core. Debug Support
