Greetings,
Im using DS-5 with my board (Cyclone V SoC FPGA with Cortex A9) and I cant find GIC and some other private peripherals of my MCU (like private timers etc.) in Registers view while in debugger mode.
Am I missing something? Should it be visible or not?
I believe that folder contains configs for many boards - are you using one of the default Cyclone configurations in the tool, that should only show the appropriate peripheral set. If you use the folder with a generic connection, then it will show all, as it would not know which set to use.That being said, I note you are refering to the Arm GIC, and so this should not be needed as part of this. I don't have a Cyclone board to hand but with basic testing with an FVP virtual platform, I also note that GIC registers are not visible for Cortex-A9... let me check on this internally...
Hi,
Still no fix or workaround? I just noticed that also private and global timers are missing, same with L2 controller.
Hello again, apologies for the slow reply.
I have replicated the issue, and unfortunately cannot find an immediate workaround.
The GIC registers (and others) are memory mapped, and so you can interrogate their values in memory, with, for example, the 'x' (eXamine) command.
We apologise for this inconvenience, and will look to address it as soon as possible.
