AXYS Oak simulator

The AXYS Oak MaxSim simulator provides a high-end hardware/software model for

 

the Oak DSP Core from the DSP Group Inc. It is available from the RealView Debugger

 

Connection Control window if an Oak DSP license has been obtained.

Backtracing

See Stack Traceback.

Big-endian

Memory organization where the least significant byte of a word is at the highest address

 

and the most significant byte is at the lowest address in the word.

 

See also Little-endian.

Board

RealView Debugger uses the term board to refer to a target processor, memory,

 

peripherals, and debugger connection method.

Board file

The board file is the top-level configuration file, normally called rvdebug.brd, that

 

references one or more other files.

Breakpoint

A user defined point at which execution stops in order that a debugger can examine the

 

state of memory and registers.

 

See also Hardware breakpoint and Software breakpoint.

Conditional breakpoint

A breakpoint that halts execution when a particular condition becomes true. The condition normally references the values of program variables that are in scope at the breakpoint location.

Deprecated options and features will not be supported in future versions of the product.

Doubleword

A 64-bit unit of information.

Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM)

A block of logic, embedded in the hardware, that is connected to the address, data, and status signals of the processor. It broadcasts branch addresses, and data and status information in a compressed protocol through the trace port. It contains the resources used to trigger and filter the trace output.
