Symbol Utility Features and Functions
The General-Purpose ASCII File Format
Creating a GPA Symbol File
You can create a GPA symbol file using any text editor that supports
ASCII format text. Each entry in the file you create must consist of a
symbol name followed by an address or address range.
Each symbol name is a string of ASCII characters. The string can be
very long, but the logic analyzer will truncate the string and use only
the first 16 characters. The address or address range corresponding to
a given symbol is a hexadecimal number. The address must appear
immediately on the same line of the text file as the symbol name.
Addresses must be separated from symbol names by one or more blank
spaces or tabs. Address can be specified as a single hexadecimal value,
or as a range in the following format:
beginning address..ending address
It is possible to generate a GPA file from the symbol or load map output
of most language tools.
Simple Format
A GPA file can be a simple list of name/address pairs.
Example main 00001000..00001009
test 00001010..0000101F
var1 00001E22 #this is a variable
This example defines two symbols that correspond to address ranges
and one point symbol that corresponds to a single address.
