Re: [tcf-dev] word addressed memory?

Hi Conny,

If you are OK with presenting byte addresses and sizes to the user, it should be relatively easy to do the translation in your implementation of context.h in the agent. However, you will also need to do the translation in the symbol reader. That part looks a bit more challenging. Good thing is such approach should not require any changes in the Eclipse plugins.

Regards,
Eugene

Subject: [tcf-dev] word addressed memory?

Hi,

The specific CPU core (for which I using TCF) supports only word
addressing (16 bits) of memory, not byte addressing as "regular" CPUs.
I understand that this is not supported out of the box in TCF, however I
would like to get your advice what would need to be changed (in the
agent and Eclipse) to make this work. Since all the infrastructure is
byte based, I believe that I might go away with some smart word address
to byte address and vice versa translations.

My specific questions are:
*) Where should I put such address translations in the code? Are there
any hooks already available?
*) The Eclipse memory view would need to be configured or replaced at
all? What is the best way doing this?

To make things even worse, I'm not permitted to patch any existing
Eclipse/CDT plugins (agent is free to modify), however any code on top
of the existing plugins is OK.

Cheers,
Conny
