Configuring the HP Processor Probe for PowerPC 603/603e
Configuring the HP Processor Probe
This chapter tells you how to configure the HP processor probe for
PowerPC 603/603e
The HP processor probe has a number of user configurable
parameters. These parameters may be customized for specific target
systems and saved in configuration files for future use. Since the HP
processor probe can be used with a number of third party debuggers,
specific details for sending the configuration commands to the probe
cannot be given here. However, all debuggers should provide a way of
directly entering terminal mode commands to the probe. Ideally, you
would create a file that contains the configuration entries you need
modified that can be sent to the probe at the beginning of each
debugger session. See your debugger manual for more details.
What can be configured
There are two categories of configuration items: general configuration
and cache configuration. The default powerup configuration will
generally work with many target systems if the cache is turned off, but
there are a few configuration items that must be set for correct target
operation.
The general configuration items must all be set correctly. If the
instruction and data caches are both turned off, the cache
configuration items are meaningless and can be ignored. If either
instruction or data cache is enabled on the 603, the "cf drtry" setting
must be set correctly based on your target system (the debug port for
the 603e does not require any differences based on DRTRY mode so
this configuration entry does not exist for the 603e).
