Hi,

 

I am currently using openocd 0.3.1 w. eclipse GDB-hardware-debugging and
openOCD, for developing on an NXP LPC2468 ARM7 CPU.

 

I you compile using the -g3 option, you can acces *raw* special function
registers (SFR's), when highlighting them in eclipse.

 

This is ok, but a bit rough around the edges since :

.         Some registers are cleared on read

.         Formatting is default decimal

.         No bit-field decoding can be done, the raw value must be decrypted
into single or groups of bits.

 

I have access to a lauterbach debugger as well, but it's quite expensive, a
not really well integrated w. eclipse.

The lauterbach trace32 tools have a great peripheral / SFR browser, that
loads a <cpu_fam>.per file, which describes the cpu internals, bitfields,
which registers are cleared on read etc.. (don't actually know if the *.per
files are written using some standard programming linguo / formatting
standard?)

 

Well my question is, does any one have experience with a peripheral browser
tool, for openocd, ideally an eclipse plugin, that can load a generic
layout, similar to the .per file. ? 

 

This would actually make life quite a lot easier, since the openocd
integrates so well with GDB & eclipse.

 

I know that embedded artists and code red have released some LPC-expresso
tool, that claims to have a SFR browser on board, but this is tied up on
some licences.
