Hi

I'm trying to create a platform consisting out of a Cortex-M3 and a peripheral.

To make sure I build the correct module via a .tcl file and igen, I started without a peripheral and a very simple application.

application code:
Code:

#include <stdio>

int main(int argc, char **argv){
   printf("In main\n");
}


module.op.tcl
Code:

ihwnew -name CortexM3IntPeri

ihwaddbuss -instancename bus -addresswidth 32

ihwaddprocessor -instancename cpu1 -vendor.ovpworld.org \
   -library processor -type armm -version 1.0 \
   -variant Cortex-M3 -endian little

ihwconnect -bus bus -instancename cpu1 -busmasterport INSTRUCTION
ihwconnect -bus bus -instancename cpu1 -busmasterport DATA


Usinge the standard makefiles, I'm able to build both the application.elf file and the model.so file.

According the the examples, I should be able to use harness.exe to run the .elf file on the created module
Code:

harness.exe --modulefile module/model.so --program application.elf -v "$@"


While this command does not give any errors, the application is NOT executed. To make sure it's not my application, I used the iss.exe to try and run it on a Cortex-M3. The iss.exe does execute my application. This makes me believe the fault is in my module. Can anyone tell me what's missing?

Thanks in advance!

I found the solution in the manual (duh).

I forgot 2 options:
Code:

-semihostname armNewlib -semihostvendor arm.ovpworld.org


Thanks anyway.

A note to say here .. if you are not sure your applcation is executing i.e. the simualtor starts up and appears to run but nothing happens.

try running again using the following additional command line arguments
turn on tracing so you can see if instructions are being executed
--trace --tracechange
start to debug the application with GDB (console)
--gdbconsole
or GDB GUI
--gdbegui
turn on verbose output
--verbose

Of course in your case I assume you will see the instructions executed BUT you do not see any output e.ge from using printf because there must be the correct semihost library loaded.
In the ISS this is loaded automatically, when using your own module you must specify either to use the default semihost library or a specific semihost library.
