14.6 Logging CPU Cycles Setting up the simulator to  log CPU cycles requires most of the  steps detailed in Section 
14.5, “Logging PCI Configuration Cycles”. However, in this case, the  messages from the 
CPU are captured. The steps are: 
 1. Open the  Device  Window (“View→Show  Devices”).  Double-click on  the CPU 
device. This  will bring up  the device Properties  Window that will  list available 
logging  options. Select  the desired  logging  options.  Click  OK to  accept  the 
configuration. See Section 7.1, “AweSim Processor Device”,  on page 51 to obtain 
detailed information about CPU Logging options. 
2. Select "View→Log Window" from  the Main Window Menu. This will  bring up a 
Message Log dialog box similar to the one shown in Figure 14-3.  
3. Log messages will  only be captured from  devices that have a  check beside their 
name. If the CPU device does not have a check, then check it by clicking its check 
box.  
4. Repeat the steps here.
