The Event Viewer tab in the Debug Configurations dialog box enables you to configure the Instrumentation Trace Macrocell (ITM) channels that you want the debugger to use when capturing event data.
Note
The settings in this tab are only enabled for targets where ITM capture is supported.
The Event Viewer tab contains the following elements:
- Enable ITM capture
Enable or disable the use of ITM capture.
- Max analysis trace depth
Specify the size of the trace buffer. The maximum is 4GB but you can choose to use only a portion of the buffer in order to minimise data transfer and processing times. The data stored in the buffer is encoded as ITM packets, and might be interleaved with other trace data. Therefore the actual amount of your own data that can be recovered from the buffer might be less than the configured buffer size.
- ITM Channel Configuration
Configure ITM channels to match the annotations used in the application source code.
- ITM Channel
Specify the channel number.
- Encoding
Select the encoding for the selected channel.
- RAW TEXT
Select for raw text.
- ENCODED
Select to encode the data in a format that enables timestamps to be generated in addition to the raw text.
- Output Style
Specify where you want to send the event data.
- Screen only
Select to display data in the Channel editor, not in a file.
- Append
Select to display data in the Channel editor and append to a existing data in a text file.
- Overwrite
Select to display data in the Channel editor and write to a text file. Any existing data in the text file is discarded.
- Output File
Specify the output file that you want to use when saving event data:
Enter the host location and file name in the field provided.
Click on File System... to locate the file in an external directory from the workspace.
Click on Workspace... to locate the file in a project directory or sub-directory within the workspace.
- Apply
Save the current configuration. This does not connect to the target.
- Revert
Undo any changes and revert to the last saved configuration.
- Debug
Connect to the target and close the Debug Configurations dialog box.
- Close
Close the Debug Configurations dialog box.
