Requirements for source correlation
The source correlation tool set works with many microcontrollers and
their embedded software development environments.
However, the overall effectiveness of the source correlation tool set will
vary to some degree depending on the specific development
environment it is being used in. The following areas affect the
performance of the source correlation tool set for different
development environments:
• Analysis probe and inverse assembler.
All the information needed to reconstruct the complete address bus of the
target system must be acquired by the logic analyzer. The
HP E2480A analysis probe meets this requirement.
The logic analyzer's inverse assembler may need to reconstruct any
incomplete address bus information and/or filter out any unexecuted
instructions.
When displaying the next or previous instances of a source line, the Source
Viewer display uses the PC or SW_ADDR (Software Address) label
generated by the inverse assembler.
• Object file symbols.
The source correlation tool set requires that symbols be loaded into the
logic analyzer (refer to the "Object File Symbols" section earlier in this
chapter).
The compiler needs to produce an object file format that is readable by the
logic analyzer; otherwise; a general-purpose ASCII (GPA) format file needs
to be generated.
• Access to source code files.
The source correlation tool set requires that you give the logic analysis
system access to your program's high-level source files (either by NFS
mounting the file system that contains the source files or by copying
source files to the logic analysis system disk).
