ARM DS slow connection to Fast Model

Hello

on the same Linux RH7 machine, it happens that the performances of ARM DS when connecting the debugger to a waiting Virtual Platform  Fast Model (using CADI)  are very random, and often, it takes 3-4 mns to 

establish the connection. Sometimes, it takes only a few seconds.But most of the time, it's too slow.

I don't understand why there can be so much difference in performances of connection to a virtual platform. What can I do when ARM DS takes too much time to connect to a Virtual Platform ?

Best regards

  • Hi again,

    Is there a particular reason why you are using CADI?  "Iris" supersedes CADI, and is now the default in Arm DS Debugger.

    You can launch a model with, for example:
     ./FVP_Base_Cortex-A53x1 --iris-server --print-port-number

    "--print-port-number" reports the port number that the Iris server is listening to, for example:
    Iris server started listening to port 7100

    If that port is already in use, the next port is selected, for example, 7101.
    Make a note of that port number.

    Then, in the debug launch dialog, you can specify the same port number:



    The FVP models also support:
    --iris-port-range MIN:MAX
    Set the range of ports to scan when starting an Iris server. The first available port found will be used.
    and
    --iris-port PORT
    Set a specific port to use for the Iris server.
