ds5: load a programm file and script is not possible from dos command line?

Hi,

I am not able to connect to a debugger and load a ds script and a elf image in the same command.

I understand this is possible to use the loadfile command from the script, but I would like to have a generic script that's works with hundredsof elf files (regressions scripts).

debugger --cdb-root xxx --cdb-entry "yyyy " --cdb-entry-param "Connection=TCP:zzzzz--script=my_script.ds

with a load file from the script is ok

but if I want to do

debugger --cdb-root xxx --cdb-entry "yyyy " --cdb-entry-param "Connection=TCP:zzzzz--script=my_script.ds --image=myelf.elf

The image sounds not to be loaded, since if I issue a command such as info functions I have nothing displayed.

With the newest DS-% v5.27 version, issue is still here.
I have tried the new feature to connect using the launch configuration cli file, but the result is unfortunatly the same.

Any clue?

thanks

Hi,

This should work. I can run the 'Fireworks' example on the shipped A9x4 VE FVP and load the image plus run a script like :

C:\Program Files\DS-5 v5.27.0\bin>debugger --cdb-entry "ARM FVP::VE_Cortex_A9x4::Bare Metal Debug::Bare Metal Debug::Debug Cortex-A9x4 SMP" --image "C:\Users\myusername\Documents\DS-5 Examples\fireworks_A9-FVP_AC5\fireworks-Cortex-A9xN-FVP.axf" --script="C:\Users\myusername\Documents\A9_FVP_cmds.ds"

The contents of the .ds script I ran looks like :

b drawSparks
b twinkleBurst
run
wait
run
wait
info registers
x 0x80000000
disable 1
disable 2
run
wait

and in the cmd window I get :

[target] terminal_0: Listening for serial connection on port 5000
[target] terminal_1: Listening for serial connection on port 5001
[target] terminal_2: Listening for serial connection on port 5002

And now I see the fireworks example running happily.

So it should work, it certainly seems to on a model and you should be able to try this as well.

Let me know how you get on,

Stuart

Hi Stuart,

So the example fireworks works for me also.
Looking more carefully at how the parameters are called, I saw I tried to load the script before the elf image. By interverting the order, it happens to work.
So it sounds mandatory to load the image and then the script.
thanks for your help

Hi Claude,

No problem, glad it works for you now.

If you could please mark this query as being answered that would be most useful.

Hi Stuart,

It is strange I don't have the option "This help me" below your answer to close this topic.
