Software Debugging Tools
for the BSC9131RDB
The above sections enable the user to
verify that the e500 and SC3850 cores
are functional and able to communicate
with each other. The next step may be
used to debug the user’s own applications
and software. The BSC9131 SoC has
separate debugging tools for the e500
core and the SC3850 core. The e500 core
can be debugged via GDB in Linux, or via
CodeWarrior for PPC. The current intent
is that programmers will debug via Linux,
which is covered in the
SDK’s BSC913x_
BSP_User_Guide.pdf
.
For debugging the SC3850 core,
programmers must use CodeWarrior for
StarCore DSPs. Download CodeWarrior
for StarCore (BSC913x) and CodeWarrior
for PPC from
freescale.com
and use the
following application note to get started
with these debugger tools. The application
note explaining the CodeWarrior debugger
setup for BSC913x is

Tools to Debug a BSC9131RDB Board
Follow this document to get up and
running on the CodeWarrior tools for the
BSC9131RDB.
