1 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 1 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 Return to the Sitara Linux Training List Introduction This lab is going to walk you through the process of using CCSv5 to debug U-Boot and the Linux kernel on the AM335x EVM. For more information on the overall debug flow please refer to the accompanying debug presentation. Before you Begin... Just a reminder of directory notation, when seeing the ~/ti-sdk... the ~ represents that user's home directory. In effort to make this article future proof in terms of SDK version numbers future proof please note the following method to be used to substitute the current SDK version numbers. There is a version number for the Sitara Linux SDK as well as a version number for the underlying PSP. For example in this article Sitara Linux SDK and PSP versions will be displayed like this: ti-sdk-am335x-evm-xx.xx.xx.xx/board-support/u-boot pspxx.xx.xx.xx At the time this article was written, the version numbers translated to this ti-sdk-am335x-evm /board-support/u-boot psp Please note that the "tab" key can be used to auto-complete a version number : In this guide commands to be executed for each step will be marked in BOLD Lab Configuration The following are the hardware and software configurations for this lab. The steps in this lab are written against this configuration. The concepts of the lab will apply to other configurations but will need to be adapted accordingly. Hardware 1. AM335x EVM-SK ( estore. ti. com/ TMDSSK3358-AM335x-Starter-Kit-P3110. aspx [1] ) You can also use a beaglebone for this lab ( beagleboard. org/ buy [2] ) 2. 5V power supply 3. USB cable to connect the board to you Linux Host 4. An XDS100 V2 emulator. For EVM-SK and Beaglebone this is built into the device and provided over the same USB connection as your serial console. Through trial and error it was found that XDS100 based emulators do not perform well under a VM environment. This is due to the base VMWare driver for these devices and the low throughput they provide. An XDS560 V2 was found to have the best performance under VMWare

2 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 2 Software 1. A Linux host system configured as per the Linux Host Configuration page Make sure you have installed the version of CCSv5 provided with the Sitara SDK installed under sudo mode so the JTAG drivers are installed (with either temporary license or permanent license) Sitara Linux SDK installed. This lab assumes the SDK is installed in /home/sitara. If you use a different location please modify the below steps accordingly. 2. setup.sh script in the SDK run to configure the target device for NFS and TFTP. For help configuring the NFS and TFTP setup see Sitara Linux Training: Hands on with the SDK 3. SD card with Sitara Linux SDK installed. For help creating a 2 partition SD card with the SDK conent see the create_sdcard.sh script page IMPORTANT For this lab you should either remove the uimage file on the boot partition of the SD card, or rename the file uimage-pre-built. This is to prevent the board from booting automatically from the SD card when the card is installed Configure your Development Environment Description This section is going to walk you through the steps to make sure your development environment is properly configured. Key Points Setting up the system for Debug Verifying your console connection Lab Steps 1. Remove the SD card from board 2. Setup USB cable connection between the board and your Linux Host 1. The following steps will help you validate that you have a valid serial connection with your target board IMPORTANT These steps are written for boards like the EVM-SK and Beaglebone which use an FTDI USB-to-Serial adapter. For boards with a straight UART connection you can ignore the steps for /dev/ttyusbx and instead just use the serial port on your Linux host that is connected to the board Connect the USB cable between your Linux host and your target board IMPORTANT On the AM335x EVM-SK, the USB cable enables a USB-to-serial interface to the Linux host PC. If using a virtual machine, please insure the AM335x EVM-SK is a selected USB device. If you are running your VMWare image with Windows 7 some USB-to-Serial adapters do not properly work with Windows 7. Make sure that your adapter specifically says that it supports Windows 7. You may also need to install an additional driver for your adapter. Open a terminal and run the following command to find the USB serial adapters available on the system. The FTDI chip used on the board presents two serial interfaces to the Linux host. The first interface is the JTAG interface and the second one is the serial console interface.

3 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 3 ls /dev/ttyusb* You should see output like: /dev/ttyusb0 /dev/ttyusb1 If using VMWare you may need to pass the "Future Technology Devices" device into the VMWare image As mentioned above since the board's serial interface is the second interface you will want to open a serial console to the second device node. In this case that is /dev/ttyusb1. This can be done by doing: minicom -w -s Select Serial port setup and press ENTER Press A to modify the Serial Device and change the device to /dev/ttyusb1. Press ENTER Press ENTER to exit the serial setup Select Exit and press ENTER You should now see a minicom window. Power on the board, you should see "ccccc" being printed in the window, if so the serial connection is working as expected. Go ahead and leave this console RUNNING in the background. For the EVM-SK board the power button is under the board in the upper-right hand corner. You must press and hold this button to power on the board. For the Beaglebone the board will power on as soon as the USB cable is connected. you can reset the board by pressing the reset button which should provide you with the expected output Setup a U-Boot Debug Project Description This lab will step you through the steps necessary to create a CCS project. Here a project for U-Boot will be created. Key Points A CCS project is set up and assigned a source tree that is indexed, this speeds up source level debug. Lab Steps 1. Start CCS by double clicking the Code Composer Studio v5 icon on the desktop 2. You will see the CCSv5 splash screen appear while CCS loads

4 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv The next window will be the Workspace Launcher window which will ask you where you want to locate your CCSv5 workspace. Take the default value. 4. CCS will load the workspace and then launch to the default TI Resource Explorer screen

5 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv Close the TI Resource Explorer screen. This screen is useful when making TI CCS projects which use TI tools. The Sitara Linux SDK uses open source tools with the standard Eclipse features and therefore does not use the TI Resource Explorer. You will be left in the Project Explorer default view. 6. Create New User Project

6 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 6 Select File -> New -> Project Expand the C/C++ category Select Makefile Project with Existing Code Click Next to enter the Import Existing Code dialog 7. Import the U-Boot code using the following steps Click the Browse button. Navigate the the U-Boot source directory. This is by default located at /home/sitara/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-xx.xx.xx.xx/board-support/u-boot-xx.xx.xx.xx Click OK to select this as the root of the existing code IMPORTANT You should see the the Project Name has been filled in for you. You should take this default value because it allows easy association between the binaries being loaded later and the sources for the project. Changing this value can break that association. Your project configuration should look something like

7 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 7 Click Finish 8. You should now be back at the main CCS screen. You should see your project listed in the Project Explorer tab and the code indexer running at the bottom right

8 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 8 Setup Linux Kernel Debug Project Description This lab will step you through the steps necessary to create a CCS project. Here a project for the Linux kernel is created. Key Points A CCS project is set up and assigned a source tree that is indexed, this speeds up source level debug. Lab Steps 1. With CCS still running from Sitara_Linux_Training:_uboot_linux_debug_with_ccsv5#Setup_a_U-Boot_Debug_Project Setup a U-Boot Debug Project re-run the steps with the following change Instead of browsing to the u-boot sources browse to the /home/sitara/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-xx.xx.xx.xx/board-support/linux-xx.xx.xx directory. 2. Once you have finished importing this project you should now see both the u-boot and Linux kernel projects in your Project Explorer tab.

9 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 9 Setup Target Configuration Description This section is going to walk you through the steps to set up a CCS target configuration. This is necessary to connect to a target for debugging both U-Boot and Linux. Key Points How to create a new target connection Selecting the JTAG emulator and board type Lab Steps 1. Select File -> New -> Target Configuration File 2. In the New Target Configuration dialog box give the configuration a name. For this lab we will use AM335x-TC 3. Click Use shared location, then Click Finish 4. The AM335x-TC configuration you created will now be opened for editing. Perform the following steps to finish the target configuration. In the Connection drop-down box select Texas Instruments XDS100v2 USB Emulator If you are using a different emulator please select that one instead. You will only see emulators for which you have installed the drivers In the Board or Device selection list check the AM335x device You screen should look like

10 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 10 Click the Save button at the right of the screen 5. You can now test your target connection by pressing the Test Connection button at the right of the screen. You should see a dialog box open. Scroll to the bottom of the output and look for the The JTAG DR Integrity scan-test has succeeded

11 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 11 There are other tests run during the connection test and the status of these tests is also displayed in the dialog box The JTAG scan test may take a few seconds to complete on slower laptops. 6. Close the Test Connection dialog box 7. The target connection is now created Build U-Boot for Debug Description This section is going to walk you through the steps to build SPL and U-Boot for debugging. Key Points The ELF images from a build of U-Boot contains the debug information necessary. Which images are used for debugging Lab Steps 1. Open a console terminal 2. Change Directories to the Sitara SDK Board Support U-Boot Source tree ti-sdk-am335x-evm-xx.xx.xx.xx/board-support/u-boot pspxx.xx.xx.xx 3. Add the build tools from the SDK into your PATH You can also call the build tools with the absolute path, but this step will make it easier to type the following commands Make sure the build tools from the SDK are in the Path echo $PATH If you see something like this for the PATH, which contains the linux-devkit/bin directory then the tools are already in your PATH. /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/sitara/ti-sdk-am335x-evm /linux-devk If the tools are not in the PATH then add them with this command (hint:use the Tab key to complete directory paths) export PATH=$PATH:/home/sitara/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-xx.xx.xx.xx/linux-devkit/bin 4. Clean the U-Boot sources to start with a known good setup In the following commands there should always be a space after the arm-arago-linux-gnueabi- entry make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-arago-linux-gnueabi- distclean 5. Perform configuration to default for the AM335x device The same configuration is used for the EVM, EVM-SK, and Beaglebone make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-arago-linux-gnueabi- am335x_evm_config 6. Compile SPL and U-Boot make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-arago-linux-gnueabi- 7. When the build finishes you should have the following files created

12 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 12 u-boot - ELF image that contains debug symbols spl/u-boot-spl.bin - stripped binary SPL image that can fit into the internal memory spl/u-boot-spl - Full SPL image containing all debug symbols. Too big for internal memory but can be used to load the symbols 8. Go ahead to the next lab step to build the kernel while U-Boot finishes building Build The Linux Kernel for Debug Description This section is going to walk you through the steps to build a Kernel Image with debug information. Key Points Debug information needs to be stored in the vmlinux image. Using the kernel configuration utility kernel debug information can be enabled. Lab Steps 1. Open another console terminal 2. Change Directories to the Sitara SDK Board Support Linux Source tree ti-sdk-am335x-evm-xx.xx.xx.xx/board-support/linux-xx.xx.xx-pspxx.xx.xx.xx This directory is where all commands below are referenced from 3. Add the build tools from the SDK into your PATH You can also call the build tools with the absolute path, but this step will make it easier to type the following commands Make sure the build tools from the SDK are in the Path echo $PATH If you see something like this for the PATH, which contains the linux-devkit/bin directory then the tools are already in your PATH. /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/sitara/ti-sdk-am335x-evm /linux-devk If the tools are not in the PATH then add them with this command (hint:use the Tab key to complete directory paths) export PATH=$PATH:/home/sitara/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-xx.xx.xx.xx/linux-devkit/bin 4. Clean the kernel sources In the following commands there should always be a space after the arm-arago-linux-gnueabi- entry make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-arago-linux-gnueabi- mrproper The make target of mrproper is used to reset the build configuration to a default state. This is done prior to configuring the kernel for a processor configuration. 5. Start with the default Sitara Linux SDK configuration There are two config files for the AM335x in the kernel tree. This lab uses the tisdk_am335x-evm_config file which matches the configuration used for the Sitara Linux SDK build make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-arago-linux-gnueabi- tisdk_am335x-evm_defconfig

13 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv Modify the Kernel configuration for debug make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-arago-linux-gnueabi- menuconfig All the debug configuration information is enabled in the kernel hacking choice of kernel configuration. A quick note about navigating within menuconfig. The up/down move the cursor vertically on the menu choices. Use the left/right arrows to move the cursor between select and exit. Use the the space bar to select a kernel configuration choice. To navigate up from a submenu, use the right arrow to select exit and press enter. Navigate into the Kernel Hacking submenu. Use the down arrow to select the Kernel Hacking submenu and press enter. This will navigate into the submenu. Enable Kernel debug info under Kernel Hacking submenu by using the SPACE bar

14 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 14 Enable Compile Kernel with Debug info under Kernel Hacking submenu. Using the up/down to navigate the submenu, use the space bar to select. Enable Stack Unwinding support under the Kernel Hacking submenu

15 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 15 Have to change submenus, use the right arrow to select exit and press enter. Navigate to General Setup at the top of the menuconfig and enter that submenu Enable Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers support under General Support. If you do not see this option then you do not have the correct kernel defconfig. Navigate up to top menu by selecting exit

16 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 16 Select exit again to leave the configuration utility Save the kernel configuration IMPORTANT Be sure to save the kernel configuration. (Note this is where to put cursor on exit using the right arrow and pressing enter to navigate up the kernel configuration tree. 7. Build the kernel make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-arago-linux-gnueabi- uimage 8. When the build is finished, copy the kernel into the tftp directory cp arch/arm/boot/uimage /tftpboot 9. Go ahead and continue with the next lab step while the kernel finishes building. Change ARM mode Description This section will walk you through how to change the ARM core mode from THUMB-2 to ARM which is required to run the SPL and U-Boot binaries. This is normally done by the ROM code but since we are bypassing the ROM code load of the SPL we will need to do it ourselves. Key Points Changing the ARM core mode from THUMB-2 to ARM Lab Steps 1. Switch back to your CCS window 2. Launch your target configuration Click View -> Target Configurations This should open a tab on the right side of your screen called Target Configurations Expand the User Defined list Right-Click the AM335x-TC configuration and select Launch Selected Configuration 3. You view should have changed to now show a Debug tab and the scan chain for the AM335x

17 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 17 You can close the AM335x-TC file. You may also want to re-arrange the windows to make viewing easier 4. Right-Click the CortxA8 line item and select Connect Target This will connect to the target and halt the processor.

18 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 18 You will likely see a message about no source available for some memory address. This is not important 5. Now that you have connected you can set the processor in ARM Mode with CCS IMPORTANT The ROM code runs in Thumb2 Mode and before the SPL code can be run the processor must be set to ARM mode. This would normally be done by the ROM code, but since we are bypassing the ROM load of the SPL we must do it ourselves Select the Registers tab Expand the Core Registers Inside of Core Registers expand the CPSR list

19 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 19 Scroll down in the CPSR register list and change the T register from 1 to 0. This is done by Clicking the the Value box for the T register where the 1 located Pressing delete to remove the value Entering 0 Pressing Enter You should see the CPSR value change to reflect the new value

20 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 20 IMPORTANT You need to do this each time the board is powered completely off or reset. If you use the JTAG to do a SW reset this value will be preserved as well. Likewise, if you attach to a board that was already running a booted system this value will be configured properly but you should always go ahead and check it just to be safe Perform SPL Debug Description This section will walk you through how to do source level debugging of the SPL code. This section is required before debugging U-Boot to make sure that the processor is set into the right mode and that the SPL has initialized device. Key Points Loading the SPL binary Loading the SPL symbols Setting break points Stepping through code

21 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 21 Lab Steps 1. Assuming that the processor is now in ARM mode from the previous lab you can now load the SPL binary into the internal chip memory. This is done using the following steps Click Tools -> Load Memory IMPORTANT The Load Memory tool is used here because we are loading the SPL binary and not and ELF image. The reason for this is that the binary is sized to be able to fit into the internal RAM of the SoC Click the Browse button and browse to the following directory /home/sitara/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-xx.xx.xx.xx/board-support/u-boot-xx.xx.xx/spl Change the filter in the lower-right corner to All (*) Select the u-boot-spl.bin file and click OK You should now be back at the Load Memory dialog. Select Next In the next screen change the following settings Start Address: 0x402F0400 IMPORTANT This is the start address of the SPL binary as defined in the u-boot sources Type-size: 32 bits

22 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 22 Click Finish You should see a box pop up showing the memory load operation This may take a bit of time since the XDS100v2 is a slower JTAG emulator than some other devices. Just be patient and allow the process to finish

23 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv Now that the SPL binary is loaded you can use the following commands to load the symbols for that binary to allow source level debugging Click Run -> Load -> Load Symbols... In the dialog box click the Browse button Like before browse to the spl directory and change the filter to All Select the u-boot-spl file which is the ELF executable that also contains the symbols and click OK Click OK 3. Now that the binary and symbols are loaded we need to set the program counter to the beginning of the SPL code. To do this go back to your Registers Tab and in the Core Registers list change the PC value to the start address you entered before (0x402F0400) 4. Click View -> Disassembly to open the Disassembly view and see that the program counter is now at 0x402F0400 and that there appears to be valid content in the memory.

24 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv Now open the source file so we can set a breakpoint in the spl_board_init function Click File -> Open File Browse to /home/sitara/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-xx.xx.xx.xx/board-support/u-boot-xx.xx.xx/board/ti/am335x/ select the evm.c file and click OK Use CTRL+F to search for spl_board_init 6. Set a hardware breakpoint by doing the following Right-Click the line number on the left side that you want to set a breakpoint at Select Breakpoint (Code Composer Studio) -> Hardware Breakpoint. For this lab select line 582 You should now see a Breakpoints tab opened listing your new breakpoint

25 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv You can now click the green run arrow to start execution of the SPL code. You should notice the execution stop at your breakpoint. 8. You can now use the step operations to step over and into functions. You can also double-click on variable names to see their values.

26 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 26 For example click the header variable on line 584 and you can see the value of that structure Go ahead and click the Step Into operation to step into the board_init function The yellow arrows are for source step operations, the green arrows are for assembly step operations IMPORTANT Because of compiler optimizations the source level step operations may not be 100% accurate, but they are generally close enough to give you an idea of what is going on 9. Go ahead and click the green run button to let SPL finish running to completion 10. After a second or two press the yellow pause symbol to suspend execution#

27 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv You should either see output on the console window of ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ### or the equivalent line in C code IMPORTANT You will only see the console output on your minicom window. 12. This means that SPL has run and tried to read the U-Boot image from the SD card, the default boot setting for the EVM. The processor now has the SPL context which means means the board is ready for U-Boot. IMPORTANT DO NOT RESET YOUR BOARD. If you reset your board at this point you will need to re-run these steps and re-load SPL to go on to the debugging U-Boot lab Perform U-Boot Debug Description This section is going to walk you through the steps to debug a U-Boot Image. In the previous step SPL was run to enable the SoC to be ready for the U-Boot image. A HW break point will be set in an intialization function. After the break point is triggered, CCS will be used to step in and over functions and a memory location will be accessed. Key Points Loading an ELF image into the processor memory instead of a raw binary Setting break points

28 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 28 Lab Steps 1. Assuming that you have executed SPL you can now perform the following steps to load the U-Boot ELF image. Click Run -> Load -> Load Program... Click the Browse button and this time select the u-boot file in the /ti-sdk-am335x-evm-xx.xx.xx.xx/board-support/u-boot-xxxx.xx-pspxx.xx.xx.xx directory As always you will need to change the filter to All Click OK to load the program IMPORTANT As with the SPL load this may take some time and you may see your screen gray out periodically. This is OK. Be patient and allow the operation to finish. This is again due to the slower speed of the XDS100v2 emulator 2. Notice that this time because an ELF image was loaded the PC was automatically set for you because CCS had enough information in the image to do so.

29 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv Determine the U-Boot relocation offset. Now that U-Boot is loaded go ahead and run the executable by clicking the green run arrow In the minicom window you should see U-Boot start running and timeout after three seconds. It will end with an error about being unable to get the kernel image. This is OK In your minicom terminal use the command bdinfo to find the relocaddr. You should see output like the following which shows the relocation address to be 0x8FF88000

30 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 30 IMPORTANT You want to get the relocaddr value, NOT the 'reloc off value. IMPORTANT The values shown here are for a beaglebone. The relocaddr value can change depending on how much memory your target board has 4. Re-load U-Boot now that we have the relocation information so we can be ready to debug Click Run -> Load -> Reload Program and allow the load to finish 5. Now the U-Boot is loaded again we need to reload the symbols based on the relocation offset we determined before. This way the hardware breakpoints we set next will actually work. Click Run -> Load -> Load Symbols... Make sure that the Program file entry is still set to your u-boot file. If not then browse to the proper file. In the Code offset field enter the offset value you found before. i.e. 0x8FF88000 In the Data offset field enter the offset value you found before. i.e. 0x8FF88000

31 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 31 IMPORTANT As was discussed in the presentation that accompanies this lab u-boot initially loads into low memory. U-Boot then relocates itself into high memory later to make room for the Linux kernel. This relocation is done by the relocate_code function which is called very early in the U-Boot process, generally in areas that should not need modification. In this lab we will be setting a breakpoint AFTER the code has been relocated, so you will have to reload the symbols as instructed below. However, if you truly did want to debug that early code you would not want to reload these symbols 6. The following steps will look familiar from the SPL debug lab and will cover setting breakpoints in U-Boot. If you do not already have the evm.c file open then do File -> Open File and navigate to the ti-sdk-am335x-evm-xx.xx.xx.xx/board-support/u-boot pspxx.xx.xx.xx/board/ti/am335x dirctory and select evm.c Search for the definition of the board_evm_init function (around line 766) Set A HW Break Point at the start of function int board_evm_init(void) (around line 767) This is done the same way as with SPL, by right-clicking the line number and selecting the HW breakpoint 7. Click the green run arrow to resume execution. You should see you hardware breakpoint be hit and the minicom output should stop at the line: No daughter card present 8. You can now do single step and step over operations in the same way you did for SPL. 9. CCS also has be ability to show you the contents of memory, which can be useful when debugging register values. To view a memory location do: Click View -> Memory Browser In the text box enter the following address and press ENTER 0x44E10600 You should see output like the following

32 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv The value read above matches the Device ID value defined in the TRM You can find the Device ID value in the TRM in section as well as its offset. Adding that offset to the base address for the CONTROL_MODULE registers found in table 2-2 of section 2.1 gives the address used of 0x44E10600 Perform Linux Kernel Debug Description This lab will show how to set debug the kernel. Here MLO and U-Boot are being loaded from the SD card. Next the vmlinux image is loaded that contains the debug information. A HW break point will be set and then using the boot command from a U-Boot prompt the kernel will be tftp'd from the host machine and the bootm command issued. As the kernel boots this particular break point should be hit as it is set in an initialization in the target board file which is executed on kernel boot.

33 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 33 Key Points Using vmlinux image to source level debug of the linux kernel Virtual to Physical location access Lab Steps 1. If CCS is still connected click the red square icon to Terminate the connection 2. Make sure your SD card is not in the board 3. Re-launch the target configuration by Right-clicking on the AM335x-TC file and selecting Launch Selected Configuration Right-clicking on the CortxA8 line and selecting Connect Target IMPORTANT When using the XDS100v2 on a Beaglebone connecting to the target causes the system to reset and the boot sequence to start over. In this case you should perform the following steps # In CCS click the green run arrow # In minicom press any key to stop the autoboot 4. Put the SD card with the MLO and U-Boot image into the board 5. Go to your minicom window 6. Press the reset button on the EVM-SK and stop the autoboot 7. After stopping the auto boot sequence this is the output that should be seen on the serial console. 8. Click the yellow pause icon to Suspend the processor 9. From CCS load symbols from the vmlinux image from the debug configured kernel build Click Run -> Load -> Load Symbols... Click the Browse button and navigate to the linux source directory /home/sitara/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-xx.xx.xx.xx/board-support/linux-xx.xx.xx/ Change the filter to All as usual and select the vmlinux file

34 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 34 If you still have offsets configured from the U-Boot lab delete them Click OK 10. Set a hardware breakpoint Click File -> Open File Navigate to the /home/sitara/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-xx.xx.xx.xx/board-support/linux-xx.xx.xx/arch/arm/mach-omap2 directory Select the board-am335xevm.c file Set the hardware breakpoint at the entry to the am335x_evm_setup function The break point will now be displayed in the break point window. 11. Resume the target by clicking the green run arrow 12. After resuming from the serial console press the enter key a few times, the u-boot prompt should be printed on each key press. This shows that the processor is executing U-Boot. 13. Boot the kernel uimage to the board by tftp'ing the kernel image into DDR and running the bootm command

35 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 35 On a HOST console run ifconfig to find out the ip address, this will be the u-boot serverip On the minicom console to the target run setenv serverip <host machine ip address> setenv bootfile uimage dhcp In U-Boot autoload is defaulted to y, this command will get both the ip address for the board and load the kernel. From the minicom console bootm 0x The kernel is told to boot from memory address 0x , this is the location where tftp put the kernel, this is an environment variable in U-Boot. 14. The kernel should now start to boot and stop at the HW break point In the minicom window the processor is halted at the daughter card detection output In the CCS window the processor is halted at the break point Always pause the execution before setting a breakpoint. A general note on pause and stop. Pause stops the execution so breakpoints, memory location etc. can be examined. The stop command terminates the debug session. 15. Like in the U-Boot portion of the lab the processor can be single stepped and step over functions. IMPORTANT Because the kernel is compiled with optimizations enabled the step functions do not always correspond directly to the lines of code. i.e. it may take multiple clicks to move one line. 16. Open a Memory Browser and see how to look at a physical location through a virtual address The CCS memory browser is only able to use the virtual addresses that the Kernel has setup. To view a physical location an offset has to be added to the physical address that is in the TRM. For the AM335x that offset is 0xb This value is found here in the linux kernel source: linux-3.2-pspxx.xx.xx.xx.sdk/arch/arm/plat-omap/include/plat/io.h AM33XX_L4_WK_IO_OFFSET 0xb Enter the address 0xF9E10600, this is the Device ID, the actual physical location 0x44E10600

36 Sitara Linux Training: uboot linux debug with ccsv5 36 Enter the address 0xF9E10630, this is the MAC IDs for the AM335x, the actual physical location 0x44E Once done examining memory resume the target and let the kernel finish booting.

"Adaptation" means a work based upon the Work, or upon the Work and other pre-existing works, such as a translation, adaptation, derivative work, arrangement of music or other alterations of a literary or artistic work, or phonogram or performance and includes cinematographic adaptations or any other form in which the Work may be recast, transformed, or adapted including in any form recognizably derived from the original, except that a work that constitutes a Collection will not be considered an Adaptation for the purpose of this License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical work, performance or phonogram, the synchronization of the Work in timed-relation with a moving image ("synching") will be considered an Adaptation for the purpose of this License. b. "Collection" means a collection of literary or artistic works, such as encyclopedias and anthologies, or performances, phonograms or broadcasts, or other works or subject matter other than works listed in Section 1(f) below, which, by reason of the selection and arrangement of their contents, constitute intellectual creations, in which the Work is included in its entirety in unmodified form along with one or more other contributions, each constituting separate and independent works in themselves, which together are assembled into a collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collection will not be considered an Adaptation (as defined below) for the purposes of this License. c. "Creative Commons Compatible License" means a license that is listed at / creativecommons. org/ compatiblelicenses that has been approved by Creative Commons as being essentially equivalent to this License, including, at a minimum, because that license: (i) contains terms that have the same purpose, meaning and effect as the License Elements of this License; and, (ii) explicitly permits the relicensing of adaptations of works made available under that license under this License or a Creative Commons jurisdiction license with the same License Elements as this License. d. "Distribute" means to make available to the public the original and copies of the Work or Adaptation, as appropriate, through sale or other transfer of ownership. e. "License Elements" means the following high-level license attributes as selected by Licensor and indicated in the title of this License: Attribution, ShareAlike. f. "Licensor" means the individual, individuals, entity or entities that offer(s) the Work under the terms of this License. g. "Original Author" means, in the case of a literary or artistic work, the individual, individuals, entity or entities who created the Work or if no individual or entity can be identified, the publisher; and in addition (i) in the case of a performance the actors, singers, musicians, dancers, and other persons who act, sing, deliver, declaim, play in, interpret or otherwise perform literary or artistic works or expressions of folklore; (ii) in the case of a phonogram the producer being the person or legal entity who first fixes the sounds of a performance or other sounds; and, (iii) in the case of broadcasts, the organization that transmits the broadcast. h. "Work" means the literary and/or artistic work offered under the terms of this License including without limitation any production in the literary, scientific and artistic domain, whatever may be the mode or form of its expression including digital form, such as a book, pamphlet and other writing; a lecture, address, sermon or other work of the same nature; a dramatic or dramatico-musical work; a choreographic work or entertainment in dumb show; a musical composition with or without words; a cinematographic work to which are assimilated works expressed by a process analogous to cinematography; a work of drawing, painting, architecture, sculpture, engraving or lithography; a photographic work to which are assimilated works expressed by a process analogous to photography; a work of applied art; an illustration, map, plan, sketch or three-dimensional work relative to geography, topography, architecture or science; a performance; a broadcast; a phonogram; a compilation of data to the extent it is protected as a copyrightable work; or a work performed by a variety or circus performer to the extent it is not otherwise considered a literary or artistic work. i. "You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this License who has not previously violated the terms of this License with respect to the Work, or who has received express permission from the Licensor to exercise rights under this License despite a previous violation. j. "Publicly Perform" means to perform public recitations of the Work and to communicate to the public those public recitations, by any means or process, including by wire or wireless means or public digital performances; to make available to the public Works in such a way that members of the public may access these Works from a place and at a place individually chosen by them; to perform the Work to the public by any means or process and the communication to the public of the performances of the Work, including by public digital performance; to broadcast and rebroadcast the Work by any means including signs, sounds or images. k. "Reproduce" means to make copies of the Work by any means including without limitation by sound or visual recordings and the right of fixation and reproducing fixations of the Work, including storage of a protected performance or phonogram in digital form or other electronic medium. 2. Fair Dealing Rights Nothing in this License is intended to reduce, limit, or restrict any uses free from copyright or rights arising from limitations or exceptions that are provided for in connection with the copyright protection under copyright law or other applicable laws. 3. License Grant Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license to exercise the rights in the Work as stated below: a. to Reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more Collections, and to Reproduce the Work as incorporated in the Collections; b. to create and Reproduce Adaptations provided that any such Adaptation, including any translation in any medium, takes reasonable steps to clearly label, demarcate or otherwise identify that changes were made to the original Work. For example, a translation could be marked "The original work was translated from English to Spanish," or a modification could indicate "The original work has been modified."; c. to Distribute and Publicly Perform the Work including as incorporated in Collections; and, d. to Distribute and Publicly Perform Adaptations. e. For the avoidance of doubt: i. Non-waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or compulsory licensing scheme cannot be waived, the Licensor reserves the exclusive right to collect such royalties for any exercise by You of the rights granted under this License; ii. Waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or compulsory licensing scheme can be waived, the Licensor waives the exclusive right to collect such royalties for any exercise by You of the rights granted under this License; and, iii. Voluntary License Schemes. The Licensor waives the right to collect royalties, whether individually or, in the event that the Licensor is a member of a collecting society that administers voluntary licensing schemes, via that society, from any exercise by You of the rights granted under this License. The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in other media and formats. Subject to Section 8(f), all rights not expressly granted by Licensor are hereby reserved. 4. Restrictions The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made subject to and limited by the following restrictions: a. You may Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work only under the terms of this License. You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for, this License with every copy of the Work You Distribute or Publicly Perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on the Work that restrict the terms of this License or the ability of the recipient of the Work to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the License. You may not sublicense the Work. You must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties with every copy of the Work You Distribute or Publicly Perform. When You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work, You may not impose any effective technological measures on the Work that restrict the ability of a recipient of the Work from You to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the License. This Section 4(a) applies to the Work as incorporated in a Collection, but this does not require the Collection apart from the Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this License. If You create a Collection, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Collection any credit as required by Section 4(c), as requested. If You create an Adaptation, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Adaptation any credit as required by Section 4(c), as requested. b. You may Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation only under the terms of: (i) this License; (ii) a later version of this License with the same License Elements as this License; (iii) a Creative Commons jurisdiction license (either this or a later license version) that contains the same License Elements as this License (e.g., Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 US)); (iv) a Creative Commons Compatible License. If you license the Adaptation under one of the licenses mentioned in (iv), you must comply with the terms of that license. If you license the Adaptation under the terms of any of the licenses mentioned in (i), (ii) or (iii) (the "Applicable License"), you must comply with the terms of the Applicable License generally and the following provisions: (I) You must include a copy of, or the URI for, the Applicable License with every copy of each Adaptation You Distribute or Publicly Perform; (II) You may not offer or impose any terms on the Adaptation that restrict the terms of the Applicable License or the ability of the recipient of the Adaptation to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the Applicable License; (III) You must keep intact all notices that refer to the Applicable License and to the disclaimer of warranties with every copy of the Work as included in the Adaptation You Distribute or Publicly Perform; (IV) when You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Adaptation, You may not impose any effective technological measures on the Adaptation that restrict the ability of a recipient of the Adaptation from You to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the Applicable License. This Section 4(b) applies to the Adaptation as incorporated in a Collection, but this does not require the Collection apart from the Adaptation itself to be made subject to the terms of the Applicable License. c. If You Distribute, or Publicly Perform the Work or any Adaptations or Collections, You must, unless a request has been made pursuant to Section 4(a), keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and provide, reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing: (i) the name of the Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable) if supplied, and/or if the Original Author and/or Licensor designate another party or parties (e.g., a sponsor institute, publishing entity, journal) for attribution ("Attribution Parties") in Licensor's copyright notice, terms of service or by other reasonable means, the name of such party or parties; (ii) the title of the Work if supplied; (iii) to the extent reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, that Licensor specifies to be associated with the Work, unless such URI does not refer to the copyright notice or licensing information for the Work; and (iv), consistent with Ssection 3(b), in the case of an Adaptation, a credit identifying the use of the Work in the Adaptation (e.g., "French translation of the Work by Original Author," or "Screenplay based on original Work by Original Author"). The credit required by this Section 4(c) may be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the case of a Adaptation or Collection, at a minimum such credit will appear, if a credit for all contributing authors of the Adaptation or Collection appears, then as part of these credits and in a manner at least as prominent as the credits for the other contributing authors. For the avoidance of doubt, You may only use the credit required by this Section for the purpose of attribution in the manner set out above and, by exercising Your rights under this License, You may not implicitly or explicitly assert or imply any connection with, sponsorship or endorsement by the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution Parties, as appropriate, of You or Your use of the Work, without the separate, express prior written permission of the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution Parties. d. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Licensor or as may be otherwise permitted by applicable law, if You Reproduce, Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work either by itself or as part of any Adaptations or Collections, You must not distort, mutilate, modify or take other derogatory action in relation to the Work which would be prejudicial to the Original Author's honor or reputation. Licensor agrees that in those jurisdictions (e.g. Japan), in which any exercise of the right granted in Section 3(b) of this License (the right to make Adaptations) would be deemed to be a distortion, mutilation, modification or other derogatory action prejudicial to the Original Author's honor and reputation, the Licensor will waive or not assert, as appropriate, this Section, to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable national law, to enable You to reasonably exercise Your right under Section 3(b) of this License (right to make Adaptations) but not otherwise. 5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. 6. Limitation on Liability EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 7. Termination a. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this License. Individuals or entities who have received Adaptations or Collections from You under this License, however, will not have their licenses terminated provided such individuals or entities remain in full compliance with those licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will survive any termination of this License. b. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here is perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work). Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the Work under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at any time; provided, however that any such election will not serve to withdraw this License (or any other license that has been, or is required to be, granted under the terms of this License), and this License will continue in full force and effect unless terminated as stated above. 8. Miscellaneous a. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work or a Collection, the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License. b. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation, Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the original Work on the same terms and conditions as the license granted to You under this License. c. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this License, and without further action by the parties to this agreement, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable. d. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or consent. e. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Work licensed here. There are no understandings, agreements or representations with respect to the Work not specified here. Licensor shall not be bound by any additional provisions that may appear in any communication from You. This License may not be modified without the mutual written agreement of the Licensor and You. f. The rights granted under, and the subject matter referenced, in this License were drafted utilizing the terminology of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (as amended on September 28, 1979), the Rome Convention of 1961, the WIPO Copyright Treaty of 1996, the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty of 1996 and the Universal Copyright Convention (as revised on July 24, 1971). These rights and subject matter take effect in the relevant jurisdiction in which the License terms are sought to be enforced according to the corresponding provisions of the implementation of those treaty provisions in the applicable national law. If the standard suite of rights granted under applicable copyright law includes additional rights not granted under this License, such additional rights are deemed to be included in the License; this License is not intended to restrict the license of any rights under applicable law.
