Abstract
An apparatus and a method for maximizing debugging performance and reducing memory overhead are provided. The method includes generating a debug protocol packet and transmitting the generated debug protocol packet to a diagnostic device. The debug protocol packet includes reference information for at least one string associated with a debug trace.
Claims27
A method for operating a debugging target device, the method comprising:
- generating a debug protocol packet;
- and
- transmitting the debug protocol packet to a diagnostic device,
- wherein the debug protocol packet comprises reference information regarding at least one string associated with a debug trace.
A method for operating a debugging diagnostic device, the method comprising:
- receiving a debug protocol packet from a target device;
- extracting at least one string from a pre-input binary file using the debug protocol packet;
- and
- formatting and displaying the at least one string,
- wherein the debug protocol packet comprises reference information regarding the at least one string associated with a debug trace.
A target device in a debugging system, the target device comprising:
- a processor configured to generate a debug protocol packet;
- and
- an interface configured to transmit the debug protocol packet to a diagnostic device,
- wherein the debug protocol packet comprises reference information regarding at least one string associated with a debug trace.
A diagnostic device in a debugging system, the diagnostic device comprising:
- an interface configured to receive a debug protocol packet from a target device;
- and
- a debug control module configured:
- to extract at least one string from a pre-input binary file using the debug protocol packet, and
- to format and display the extracted at least one string,
- wherein the debug protocol packet comprises reference information regarding the at least one string associated with a debug trace.
