Debugger S32DS with Trace

koehlerl — Fri, 17 Aug 2018 06:51:31 GMT

Hello,

If there a Debugger for the S32DS with which I can Trace variables.

I need it for Update the Expression List without stop the run mode.

I use the Segger j-link Base with S32K144.

Hello koehlerl,

At this point in time, we do not have an NXP Debugger with Trace for the S32DS, however, the S32DS does provide support for 3rd-party debuggers. We have information on the product page for S32K which lists the tools that support the S32K family in the IDE - Debug, Compile and Build Tools section. I took a look and it seems both Green Hills and Keil have probes which support Trace for S32K. If you proceed to the partner pages for each, you can see a detailed tabular listing of the available tools with links to the devices supported by each.

Hope it helps,

Mike

Hello Mike,

thanks for your Information.

But my question is, if there a possibility to activate trace in the S32DS with j-link base debug probe?

I can use Segger J-Scope as external tool. But I look for something that is integrated in S32DS.

Hello koehlerl‌,

If I understand your question correctly, what you are looking for is to have real time update of a variable rather than what is usually referred to as Trace capability. In general, we have implemented an open source solution to support the Segger connection (ilg.gnuarmeclipse.debug), it was not developed by us. There is another thread which I believe will provide you with the answers you are looking for. It is for KDS, but the solution will be much the same.

Hope it helps,

Hello Mike,

Yes, exactly. I’m looking for a real time update of a variable.

In the thread of KDS stands, that KDS is not able to read/write variables in in real time debug mode.

I don’t want to use FreeMaster or other tool.

In the KDS threat you can see the Keil MDK video. And this is what I want in the S32DS.

The question is: Can S32DS in real time read /write variables ?

This does not apply to the SEGGER J-Link connection, but you can have this with the P&E connection as they have implemented the "Real Time Expressions" view for Eclipse, see P&E ARM Cortex-M Debugging with FreeRTOS Thread Awareness and Real Time Expressions for GDB and Eclipse | MCU on Eclipse .

Unfortunately, the same does not exist for J-Link (yet).
