High-performance Embedded Workshop 18. Synchronized Debugging

Platform settings
When debugging a multi-core platform some synchronizations that are normally user configurable may be
automatically enabled. If an option check box is checked and grayed out this means that the platform has specified that
the operation must always be synchronized.
Notes:
• Platform settings cannot be overridden by editing the SDO (configuration) file.
• Platform settings override your style selection. These operations will always be synchronized between all
Debuggers even when “None” or “Master debugger” is selected.
18.1.4 Setting the memory update option
When this option is checked all High-performance Embedded Workshop views which display memory data (e.g. the
memory view, the watch view etc.) in all Debuggers will update (i.e. read memory from the platform) whenever the
memory is changed in any synchronized Debugger.
If the option is not set then only the memory views in the local Debugger will update when memory is changed. If
memory is shared between Debuggers, a manual refresh will need to be performed in the memory related windows of
the other Debuggers in order for them to display the correct memory.
Memory is usually only shared between Debuggers when debugging a multi-core platform. If memory is not shared
between Debuggers (e.g. when debugging several single core platforms) then actions in one Debugger cannot change
the memory in another so the state of this check box is not important.
18.1.5 Synchronized debugging mode
Select the mode to be used while Debugging:
Internal:
The specified Debuggers will be opened in one High-performance Embedded Workshop application.
This mode is only available when all the Debugger’s Session’s are in the same High-performance
Embedded Workshop workspace.
Parallel:
The specified Debuggers will be opened in separate High-performance Embedded Workshop
applications.
Note:
The “Internal” mode option will only be available if all the sessions in the Available Debuggers list are from the same
workspace. It is not possible to use the Internal mode option when sessions from separate workspaces are selected.
18.1.6 Start synchronized debugging
Once
the synchronized debug configuration has been set up click the Sync button to begin debugging. If Parallel mode
has been selected one Debugger will be opened in the High-performance Embedded Workshop application from which
the Synchronized Debug dialog box was launched and new High-performance Embedded Workshop applications will
be opened for the remaining Debuggers. If Internal mode was selected the workspace that is common to all the
