5.11.1.1 device
This command selects the target device.
Syntax
device = <DeviceID>
DeviceID has to be a valid device identifier. For a list of all available device identifi-
ers please refer to chapter Supported devices on page 147.
Example
device = AT91SAM7S256
5.11.1.2 DisableFlashBPs
This command disables the FlashBP feature.
Syntax
DisableFlashBPs
5.11.1.3 DisableFlashDL
This command disables the J-Link ARM FlashDL feature.
Syntax
DisableFlashDL
5.11.1.4 EnableFlashBPs
This command enables the FlashBP feature.
Syntax
EnableFlashBPs
5.11.1.5 EnableFlashDL
This command enables the J-Link ARM FlashDL feature.
Syntax
EnableFlashDL
5.11.1.6 map exclude
This command excludes a specified memory region from all memory accesses. All
subsequent memory accesses to this memory region are ignored.
Memory mapping
Some devices do not allow access of the entire 4GB memory area. Ideally, the entire
memory can be accessed; if a memory access fails, the CPU reports this by switching
to abort mode. The CPU memory interface allows halting the CPU via a WAIT signal.
On some devices, the WAIT signal stays active when accessing certain unused mem-
ory areas. This halts the CPU indefinitely (until RESET) and will therefore end the
debug session. This is exactly what happens when accessing critical memory areas.
Critical memory areas should not be present in a device; they are typically a hard-
ware design problem. Nevertheless, critical memory areas exist on some devices.
To avoid stalling the debug session, a critical memory area can be excluded from
access: J-Link will not try to read or write to critical memory areas and instead
ignore the access silently. Some debuggers (such as IAR C-SPY) can try to access
memory in such areas by dereferencing non-initialized pointers even if the debugged
program (the debuggee) is working perfectly. In situations like this, defining critical
memory areas is a good solution.
