Configure and run MB trace.
Syntax
mbtrace [options]Configure and run MB program and event trace for tracing the application running on MB. The output is the disassembly of the executed program.
Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
-start
|
Enable and start trace. After starting trace the execution of the program is captured for later output. |
-stop
|
Stop and output trace. |
-con
|
Output trace after resuming execution of active target until a breakpoint is hit. At least one breakpoint or watchpoint must be set to use this option. This option is only available with embedded trace. |
-stp
|
Output trace after resuming execution of the active target until control reaches instruction that belongs to different line of source code. |
-nxt
|
Output trace after resuming execution of the active target until control reaches instruction that belongs to a different line of source code, but runs any functions called at full speed. |
-out <filename>
|
Output trace data to a file. <filename> Name of the output file for writing the trace data. If not specified, data is output to standard output. |
-level <level>
|
Set the trace level to "full", "flow", "event", or "cycles". If not specified, "flow" is used. |
-halt
|
Set to halt program execution when the trace buffer is full. If not specified, trace is stopped but program execution continues. |
-save
|
Set to enable capture of load and get instruction new data value. |
-low <addr>
|
Set low address of the external trace buffer address range. The address range must indicate an unused accessible memory space. Only used with external trace. |
-high <addr>
|
Set high address of the external trace buffer address range. The address range must indicate an unused accessible memory space. Only used with external trace. |
-format <format>
|
Set external trace data format to "mdm", "ftm", or "tpiu". If format is not specified, "mdm" is used. The "ftm" and "tpiu" formats are output by Zynq-7000 PS. Only used with external trace. |
Returns
Depends on options used. -start, -out, -level, -halt -save, -low, -high, -format Returns nothing on successful configuration. Error string, in case of error.
-stop, -con, -stp, -nxt: Returns nothing, and outputs trace data to a file or standard output. Error string, in case of error.
Example(s)
mbtrace -startEnable and start trace.
mbtrace -start -level full -haltEnable and start trace, configuring to save complete trace instead of only program flow and to halt execution when trace buffer is full.
mbtrace -stopStop trace and output data to standard output.
mbtrace -stop -out trace.outStop trace and output data to trace.out.
mbtrace -con -out trace.outContinue execution and output data to trace.out.
