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 A deprecated option or feature is one that you are strongly discouraged from using.
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.
ETM See Embedded Trace Macrocell.
Halfword A 16-bit unit of information.
