Working with targets

This section shows in detail how to work with XMOS target systems.

• Introduction
• Key target-based features
  • Targets
• xTAG
  • xTAG v3.0
  • xTAG v4.0
  • Using xTAGs with Windows hosts
• Host tools
  • xrun
  • xgdb
• Target interaction
  • Debug mode
  • Exceptions
  • Launch with xrun
  • Termination
• Host-IO
  • Reduced-overhead print functions
  • Syscall host-IO
  • Host-IO via the xCONNECT link (xSCOPE)
• xSCOPE APIs
• User-supplied host program
  • Structure of the host program
  • Example host program and target programs
  • Specifying a port number for xgdb and the user host program
  • Allow xgdb to choose a port number and bind - avoiding a race condition
• Sample-based profiling of the target program
  • Capturing the sample data
  • Analysing the profile data
  • Profiling a target program which boots from flash
• Target errors and warnings
  • xSCOPE not supported
  • Failure to parse XN file
• Command examples
  • XGDB examples
  • xrun examples
