value = 0 is correct on kgdb

openocd and kgdb symbol address are the same

openocd global variable is good, only local variable is wrong. can fixed it?

and call stack jsut can see 2 or 3 layer.

kgdb can read all struct variable and call stacks

can make openocd like kgdb?

bug similar as this but not sure~~~how to fix openocd

i compare global and local variable in openocd

static int gdb_read_memory_packet(struct connection *connection, char const *packet, int packet_size)

…

into cortex_a_read_phys_memory

get value is wrong on local variable

any idea for me?

fatalfeel · January 12, 2016, 6:38am

I write local variable 0x03, address=0x4ccd7d86, buffer={0x03, 0x00}

retval = cortex_a_write_phys_memory(target, address, size, count, buffer);

then Read local variable, address= 0x4ccd7d86

retval = cortex_a_read_phys_memory(target, address, size, count, buffer);

buffer = {0x03,0x00}

the value is 0x03 is ok~~~

get local variable still wrong

/root/openocd-0.9.0/src/target/cortex_a.c

modify

armv7a->memory_ap_available = true;

to

armv7a->memory_ap_available = false;

watch local variable of address value is correct… still have local variable wrong

fatalfeel · January 12, 2016, 12:33pm

use Advanced Highperformance Bus can not read local address value

but use Advanced Peripheral Bus can read local address value

fatalfeel · January 16, 2016, 11:46am

Fixed~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

use APB read/write memory

if one time fast read, first 4 bytes are correct, but others are wrong

use slow path read can fix it

For configuring systems at start up, such as setting memory controller parameters, clocks and PLL registers, memory access through the AHB access port is good. This should also work well for writing to flash memories.

For debugging code running on the MPU, the APB and access through the MPU core probably should be used, since this method avoids problems with virtual to physical address translations and also helps avoid cache coherency problems.

fatalfeel · January 21, 2016, 3:43am

in armv7a.c

struct armv7a_common *armv7a = target_to_armv7a(target);

struct arm *arm = &armv7a->arm;

if (armv7a->common_magic != ARMV7_COMMON_MAGIC) {

LOG_ERROR(“BUG: called for a non-ARMv7A target”);

return ERROR_COMMAND_SYNTAX_ERROR;

}

arm_arch_state(target);

if (armv7a->is_armv7r) {

LOG_USER(“D-Cache: %s, I-Cache: %s”,

state[armv7a->armv7a_mmu.armv7a_cache.d_u_cache_enabled],

state[armv7a->armv7a_mmu.armv7a_cache.i_cache_enabled]);

} else {

LOG_USER(“MMU: %s, D-Cache: %s, I-Cache: %s”,

state[armv7a->armv7a_mmu.mmu_enabled],

state[armv7a->armv7a_mmu.armv7a_cache.d_u_cache_enabled],

state[armv7a->armv7a_mmu.armv7a_cache.i_cache_enabled]);

}

we can do the auto judgement for cortex_a_examine_first(struct target *target)

I prefer this way than dap apsel in cfg

because u need change dap apsel 0 or dap apsel 1

in static int cortex_a_post_debug_entry(struct target *target)

after

cortex_a->curr_mode = armv7a->arm.core_mode;

add

armv7a->memory_ap = armv7a->armv7a_mmu.mmu_enabled;

will auto select right bus~

when mmu_enabled On is debug linux kernel core

when mmu_enabled Off is debug uboot code upload on Hardware pin boot Mode0
