Debugging using CodeWarrior IDE & Code Warrior USB Tap

[Farrukh]

Greetings All,

I want to prepare a debugging environment for my target system for debugging Linux kernel as well as Linux applications. I need to purchase CodeWarrior IDE & Code Warrior USB Tap (or Ethernet tap), but first I need to evaluate its working. So far I am unable to communicate with my target machine via debugger. I have installed USB Tap drivers and ccs is able to see the USB Tap but I am unable to debug any linux application as well as kernel. I believe I am missing some applications / debugger components / kernel patches on my target machine. If someone can tell me what software tools / kernel patches and configuration I will need on my target machine or point me to some document it will be really helpful. 

Following is my setup.

Embedded Platform.

Freescale P1022DS / P1022RDK

Linux Kernel 2.6.32

Host Setup

CodeWarrior IDE 10.1.1

Ubuntu 10.04

ccs does gives me the serial number of the USB tap so it is configured at the host end I believe. Some documents in the installation of CW states AppTRK or HyperTRK (for kernel), from where I can get these packages. My kernel configuration does not show any such HyperTRK so I believe I am missing some patch. From where I can get this patch.

Any help is appreciated.

Go to this CodeWarrior for Power Architecture page, which shows two service packs for the Linux tools that you might need.

Hi,

Thanks. I have downloaded the service pack 3 "CodeWarrior for Power Architecture 10.1.1, Service Pack 3 (Linux) " and I am successfull in doing linux application debugging with AppTRK running on target. But how would I be able to do kernel or kernel module debugging. It seems I need HyperTRK in the kernel but from where I can get kernel patch for HyperTRK as I can not see this option in the kernel configuration which I am building using ltib.

Ok, I made it working, now I am able to debug Linux user application as well as linux kernel. The document "Targeting_PA_Processors.pdf" found in <CW_Installation>/PA/Help/PDF/ says this all. 

I have one final question. I am debugging a Linux user application with AppTRK running on target machine, and I want to debug system calls (i.e mmap) my application is calling, how I would do that. Any pointer / help is appreciated.
