Simulator Based C project (Non OS)

Note: This was originally posted on 11th June 2013 at http://forums.arm.com

Hello,

I am trying to create a couple of trivial C & ARM 7/9 assembly example projects on DS-5 to run using Simulation mode like I used to be able to do in RVDS without having to connect the host pc to a hardware. Nor do I want to involve linux for these trivial examples. To that extent these are bare-metal examples but only that I wont be connecting to any hardware. I think in Real View it used to be called a connection to RVISS  or something like that. I used to be able to teh  choose the ARM processor I was targeting inside that. I assume such programming is with  DS-5 too. When I look into debug configuration, I dont see an explicit ISS or simulator sounding name as target.

Can someone point me along the right direction for creating a clean, simple, simulator based C and Assembly projects in DS-5 professional edition?

Thanks.

    There are two models included with DS-5, a Cortex-A8 and a mulit-core Corte-A9.  When you configure the Debug Connection look for "Cortex-A8 RTSM" or "RTSM_VE_Cortex_A9x4".  Under these select "Bare Metal Debug".


    Thanks, I had an earlier version of DS-5 which did not have these models. Now I have updated to latest DS-5 and I am able to locate this RTSM in my DS-5. I have now selected Cortex A8 RTSM and Bare Metal Debug. I have now selected  the following and still facing some possible simple problems when I try to run the project: "Launching Hello World has encountered a problem. Error starting process" etc. basically I dont get to see a hello world printed in the console where I am expecting it to be showed.

    1. C Project-> Bare Metal Executable-> Hello World Project

    2. Run Configuration under "Main":I am specifying the project I am debugging( Hello World) from the workspace.

      2.1 Under C/C++ Application, I try selecting Search Project but it is unable to locate the binary, so I specify the .AXF file to be loaded after browsing for it.

      2.2 Build Configuration: I have selected: "Use workspace settings, Use Active .
      2.3 Select Configuration using C/C++ Application remains unchecked.

    3. Debug Configurations: Under Connections: Select Target- > UNder DS-5 Debugger, I selected New configuration and enabled Cortex A8 RTSM  -> Baremetal Debug -> Debug Cortex A8
    3.1 Under Connections tab-> Under Connections -> Model Parameters-> I have left it blank/
    3.2 Under Files Tab- > Application on Host to download -?> I have selected Hello World.ASF after clicking the workspace button below it.
    3.3 Under Files Tab->  There is also a File System button- which I have left un utilized.
    3.4 UNder Files Selection -> I have selected Load Symbol from file.
    3.5 Under Debugger Tab ->I have selected Debug from Symbol under Run Control


    I am able to build the project successfully in c/c++ project view. It gives zero errors. But when I right click on project name and try to run as stand alone C/C++ application it gives an error saying Binary not found. When I build the, there is a .axf file created in the workspace. I am able to connect to the target under DS-5 debug perspective and even single step the code after loading it but it still wont show me an STDIO window.

    So on one side I am unable to do a simple run as of the project after building it and another side, after launching DS-5 debug session, I am able to connect to target and single step but not view the output.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
