Inverse Assembler Problems
This section lists problems that you might encounter while using the inverse assembler.
When you obtain incorrect inverse assembly results, it may be unclear whether the problem is in the preprocessor or in your target system. If you follow the suggestions in this section to ensure that you are using the preprocessor and inverse assembler correctly, you can proceed with confidence in debugging your target system.
No inverse assembly or incorrect inverse assembly
This problem is due to incorrect synchronization, modified configuration, incorrect connections, or a hardware problem in the target system. A locked status line can cause incorrect or incomplete inverse assembly.
Verify that the inverse assembler has been synchronized by placing an opcode at the top of the display (not at the input cursor) and pressing the Invasm key.
Because the inverse assembler works from the first line of the trace display, if you jump to the middle of a trace and select Invasm, prior trace states are not disassembled correctly. If you move to several random places in the trace list and select Invasm each time, the trace disassembly is only guaranteed to be correct from the top of the display forward for each selection.
Ensure that each analyzer pod is connected to the correct preprocessor cable.
