<h4 class="subsection">G.5.2 ARC Features</h4>
|
|
<a name="index-target-descriptions_002c-ARC-Features"></a>
|
|
|
|
<p>ARC processors are so configurable that even core registers and their numbers
|
|
are not predetermined completely. Moreover, <em>flags</em> and <em>PC</em>
|
|
registers, which are important to <small>GDB</small>, are not “core” registers in
|
|
ARC. Therefore, there are two features that their presence is mandatory:
|
|
‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arc.core</samp>’ and ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arc.aux</samp>’.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arc.core</samp>’ feature is required for all targets. It must
|
|
contain registers:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul class="no-bullet">
|
|
<li>- ‘<samp>r0</samp>’ through ‘<samp>r25</samp>’ for normal register file targets.
|
|
</li><li>- ‘<samp>r0</samp>’ through ‘<samp>r3</samp>’, and ‘<samp>r10</samp>’ through ‘<samp>r15</samp>’ for reduced
|
|
register file targets.
|
|
</li><li>- ‘<samp>gp</samp>’, ‘<samp>fp</samp>’, ‘<samp>sp</samp>’, ‘<samp>r30</samp>’<a name="DOCF23" href="#FOOT23"><sup>23</sup></a>,
|
|
‘<samp>blink</samp>’, ‘<samp>lp_count</samp>’, ‘<samp>pcl</samp>’.
|
|
</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>In case of an ARCompact target (ARCv1 ISA), the ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arc.core</samp>’
|
|
feature may contain registers ‘<samp>ilink1</samp>’ and ‘<samp>ilink2</samp>’. While in case
|
|
of ARC EM and ARC HS targets (ARCv2 ISA), register ‘<samp>ilink</samp>’ may be present.
|
|
The difference between ARCv1 and ARCv2 is the naming of registers <em>29th</em>
|
|
and <em>30th</em>. They are called ‘<samp>ilink1</samp>’ and ‘<samp>ilink2</samp>’ for ARCv1 and
|
|
are optional. For ARCv2, they are called ‘<samp>ilink</samp>’ and ‘<samp>r30</samp>’ and only
|
|
‘<samp>ilink</samp>’ is optional. The optionality of ‘<samp>ilink*</samp>’ registers is
|
|
because of their inaccessibility during user space debugging sessions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Extension core registers ‘<samp>r32</samp>’ through ‘<samp>r59</samp>’ are optional and their
|
|
existence depends on the configuration. When debugging GNU/Linux applications,
|
|
i.e. user space debugging, these core registers are not available.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arc.aux</samp>’ feature is required for all ARC targets. Here
|
|
is the list of registers pertinent to this feature:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul class="no-bullet">
|
|
<li>- mandatory: ‘<samp>pc</samp>’ and ‘<samp>status32</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li>- optional: ‘<samp>lp_start</samp>’, ‘<samp>lp_end</samp>’, and ‘<samp>bta</samp>’.
|
|
</li></ul>
