_ RELEASE NOTES winIDEA 2012 / 9.12 9.12.1 (18.1.2012) CPU Support Renesas 78k RL78 Family On-Chip-Debug support Full debug feature set for G13 and F12 lines is supported on iC5000 platform. isystem.connect Profiler controller classes CProfilerController2 and CProfilerData2 classes provide access to profiler configuration and recorded data access. For more information see Help/SDK/isystem.connect. iSYSTEM, September 2018 1/169 9.12.2 (31.1.2012) CPU Support MPC 5xxx MPC5676R Cobra Support Full debug and trace feature set for MPC and eTPU cores. Preliminary support for dual eDMA trace. winIDEA Analyzer Bookmarks Any number of bookmarks can be set in the trace and timeline views using the Ctrl+F2 shortcut. The F2 shortcut moves from one bookmark to another. Watch window Expanded watch structure Watch window retains expanded structure of a complex type even if the expression goes out of scope. iSYSTEM, September 2018 2/169 When out of scope, the structure is retained, but Value reflects Note: If the expression is changed or the expression can evaluate to a different type in a changed context, the structure is collapsed. Binary constants Binary constants of the form <digits>b are recognized. e.g. 100b == 4 This format should be used if one intends to modify binary values in the watch window. Other binary display formats cannot be used to modify the value. iSYSTEM, September 2018 3/169 isystem.connect Hot attach/detach capability IConnectDebug::RunControl provides means to hot-attach the target. CExecutionController::hotAttach() and hotDetach() can be used from scripts. Refer to online SDK help for more information. iSYSTEM, September 2018 4/169 9.12.3 (3.2.2012) CPU Support MPC 5xxx MPC5676R Cobra Support Dual eDMA trace support. winIDEA Analyzer Profiler XML Export can generate binary timeline file, which is more compact and faster to generate and parse. XML node indenting is now optional. Indenting can increase file size by up to 15% but yields no benefits for automatic parsers. iSYSTEM, September 2018 5/169 9.12.4 (15.2.2012) CPU Support Incremental FLASH programming When a download is performed into an already programmed device, (optionally) only the FLASH sectors which have been modified, are be programmed. This speeds up download times when only small changes are performed. Incremental FLASH programming is supported on these CPUs: MPC5xxx TriCore XC2000 User configurable Reset duration is provided. This may be required by target specific configuration. TriCore User configurable Reset duration is provided. This may be required by target specific configuration. iSYSTEM, September 2018 6/169 winIDEA Analyzer Session duration limit Profiler session duration can be limited to millisecond range. Multiple IRQ level support Multiple IRQ levels can be configured for OS objects. This allows profiling of nested interrupts. See ProfilerConcepts.pdf for more information. Download in Hot Attach configuration Optionally, winIDEA can upon Debug/Download command, disable Hot Attach and perform regular download. Intialize debugger, load symbols: initialize debugger hardware and loads symbols. This is the default setting. Initialize, attach to CPU, download code: performs regular download, bypassing hot attach configuration. After download the Hot Attach capabilities are restored. iSYSTEM, September 2018 7/169 Location: Debug/Files for Download/Options Watch expressions Full SFR path is supported in watch expressions. This allows display of SFRs with identical names belonging to different CPU modules. Same syntax can be used to access SFR registers via isystem.connect. iSYSTEM, September 2018 8/169 9.12.6 (19.2.2012) CPU Support MPC 5xxx Mass erase before download Program and Data FLASH can be (optionally) erased before download. Location: Hardware.Emulation Options/CPU/Setup/MPC5xxx Default: OFF Bolero3M device unsecure Unsecure with password is implemented. winIDEA Analyzer Context re-activation support Per default the profiler ignores repeated task IDs and considers that the same task/IRQ continues without interruption. iSYSTEM, September 2018 9/169 Optionally, re-activation can be considered as a separate activation of the context. The changed interpretation will be reflected in the statistics for the task. Location: Analyzer/Profiler/Advanced/Ignore context reactivation Default: ON Neutral value for task level objects For Task level objects the neutral value can be specified (like for IRQ objects). Typically the NO_TASK state can be specified as 'neutral' and is indicated with a fatter line in the timeline. iSYSTEM, September 2018 10/169 9.12.7 (24.2.2012) winIDEA Slow Run Execution of the target application can be performed one instruction at a time, which allows acquisition of full program trace. This allows all Analyzer analyses also on CPUs without trace. Location: Debug/Use Slow Run Default: OFF When CPU is running, the status shows the number of executed instructions. The Analyzer will show all executed instructions, the time stamp for every instruction advances by 1 ns. iSYSTEM, September 2018 11/169 Analyzer Min / Max / Average statistics for regular variables and analog AUX For regular variables and analog AUX who can assume arbitrary number of values, these statistics are provided: Minimum value Maximum value Average value Note: average value considers also the durations of a particular value. e.g. if a variable keeps a value of 0 for 9 seconds and a value of 10 for 1 second, the average value will be 1. iSYSTEM, September 2018 12/169 9.12.8 (5.3.2012) CPU Support HCS08 MC9S08MP16R support Full feature set implemented. winIDEA Analyzer Navigation to Min/Max extremes sets markers Marker 1 is set to the beginning of the extreme, and Marker 2 to the end. Caret is also set to the end. isystem.connect Trace control CTraceController is the new class for trace recording and export. CTraceData can be used to read XML or binary trace export files. For further information and examples refer to online SDK documentation. iSYSTEM, September 2018 13/169 9.12.9 (7.3.2012) CPU Support HCS12 MC9S12XHY support Full feature set implemented. TriCore TC1791 support Full feature set implemented. winIDEA Debug Ambiguity resolution dialog now displays also the address of possible symbols. iSYSTEM, September 2018 14/169 9.12.11 (14.3.2012) winIDEA Analyzer Profiler execution in RTOS application Before a Task/IRQ context is known, the code execution can be ignored. The recorded code is attributed to an unknown context which doesn’t exist in the application. If on the other hand the application is profiled from CPU start, the OS is not active yet and the unknown context is a valid state, the option should be disabled. iSYSTEM, September 2018 15/169 9.12.12 (16.3.2012) winIDEA Symbols winIDEA per default saves the symbol table from the previous download session alongside the workspace file. This allows symbol navigation and reconstruction of analyzer recordings immediately when workspace is opened. If saving of symbols is not desired, the option can be switched off. Location: Debug/Options/Symbols/Preserve symbols between winIDEA sessions Default: ON Analyzer Custom defined filters can use bitwise operators Filters can use standard C bitwise operators & | and ^. iSYSTEM, September 2018 16/169 9.12.13 (21.3.2012) CPU Support HCS08 HCS08JM8, HCS08JM16,HCS08JM32, HCS08JM60, full feature set. winIDEA Build Manager For assembler includes winIDEA can optionally (not) search the source file folder. If the Search also source file folder option is set (default), then first the folder of the source file is checked before all listed includes search paths are checked. This is equivalent to C’s: #include “filename” If this option is disabled, the source file folder is not checked and is equivalent to C’s #include <filename> Location: Project/Settings/Includes/Search also source file folder Default: ON Note: always verify that the thus specified algorithm is the same as the assembler implements. iSYSTEM, September 2018 17/169 Analyzer Analyze only events after start point Profiler will per default analyze the entire session, including events which occur before the starting point. To limit the analysis to events after starting point, set this option. iSYSTEM, September 2018 18/169 9.12.14 (27.3.2012) CPU Support S12Z The new Freescale S12Z family of CPUs is supported. eTPU Data profiler is available. Up to 4 data areas can be profiled. winIDEA Disassembly window Disassembly window provides a toolbar, including new navigation functions. Disassemble to disk Go to execution point Go back to previous indicator position List from branch target. This command is available only on direct branches. List from start of the current function. List from end of the current function. Shows the function and offset of the indicator to the start. Browse a function and list from its start. isystem.test R8C Stub support Stubs are supported on R8C IAR and Renesas compilers. iSYSTEM, September 2018 19/169 9.12.15 (28.3.2012) winIDEA isystem.test HC12 Cosmic compiler support for +nowiden option This information cannot be determined from the Elf file and must be explicitly configured in Test/Options… Note: per default the compiler widens the char and float parameters to int and double respectively. iSYSTEM, September 2018 20/169 9.12.18 (4.4.2012) winIDEA Analyzer Bit level data profiling If a data object is composed of several distinct sub-items (bit fields,…), a part of the data object can be extracted by specifying its bit size and bit offset within the parent data object. Several data objects can be defined on top of a parent data entity. Refer to ProfilerConcepts.pdf for more information especially on big endian systems. Data profiling unlimited variables Per default the analyzer will attempt to use one hardware data comparator per data area. On most on-chip trace systems, the number of these comparator is small and insufficient.
