To facilitate debugging, the Commands view now reports additional details about processor exceptions when the debugger stops on such an exception.
For example, Arm Development Studio 2024.0 would report:
Synchronous exception within Non-Secure EL1 with EL1 Stack Pointer Execution stopped in EL1h mode at EL1N:0x0000000080003A00
Arm Development Studio 2024.1 now reports:
Synchronous exception within Non-Secure EL1 with EL1 Stack Pointer with ELR value EL1N:0x0000000080002EC8 Taken from AArch64 ESR_EL1 0x0000000036000002 Branch Target Exception. Execution stopped in EL1h mode at EL1N:0x0000000080003A00
The newvar command functionality has been expanded to allow you to create appropriate aliases to system and memory mapped registers as needed.
A new snapshot command had been added. This facilitates the creation of a snapshot file, preserving register, memory, and trace history, allowing for offline debug and analysis with the Snapshot Viewer.
Debug configurations for the latest Arm Ecosystem FVPs are provided to enable developers to easily explore the associated software stacks at run time.
