Working with targets

This section shows in details how to work with XMOS target systems.

• Terminology
• Introduction
• Key features
  • Targets
• xTAG
  • xTAG v3.0
  • xTAG v4.0
  • Using xTAGs with Windows 10 Pro
• Host tools
  • xrun
  • xgdb
• Target interaction
  • Debug mode
  • Exceptions
  • Launch with xrun
  • Termination
• Host-IO
  • Reduced-overhead print functions
  • Syscall host-IO
  • Host-IO via the xCONNECT link
• Xscope APIs
• User-supplied host program
  • Structure of the host program
  • Example host program and target programs
  • Specifying a port number for xgdb and the user host program
  • Allow xgdb to choose a port number and bind – avoiding a race condition
• Host/target data throughput
• Sample-based profiling of the target program
  • Capturing the sample data
  • Analysing the sample data
  • Profiling a target program which boots from flash
• Target errors and warnings
  • xSCOPE not supported
  • Failure to parse XN file
• Command examples
  • xgdb examples
  • xrun examples
