uC-Probe Interface
A notable challenge in embedded systems development is to overcome the lack of feedback that such systems typically provide. Many developers resort to blinking LEDs or instrumenting their code with printf() in order to determine whether or not their systems are running as expected. Micrium provides a unique tool named µC-Probe to assist these developers. With this tool, developers can effortlessly read and write the variables on a running embedded system. This section presents the steps required to run the demonstration project for the ADI evaluation board. A description of the uC-Probe demonstration interface is provided.
Configure uC-Probe
Launch uC-Probe from the Start → All Programs → Micrium → uC-Probe.
Select uC-Probe options.
- Click on the uC-Probe icon on the top left portion of the screen.
- Click on the Options button to open the dialog box.
Set target board communication protocol as JTAG UART
- Click on the Communication tab icon on the top left portion of the dialog box
- Select the JTAG UART option.
Setup JTAG UART communication settings
- Select the JTAG-UART option from the Communication tab.
- Press the Open File button to select the JTAG Debug Information file (.jdi)
- Navigate to the ADIEvalBoard/FPGA folder and select the ced1z.jdi file. Press Open.
- Type the value 1 in the the Device Id window.
- Select uCProbe_uart(0) from the Instance Id pulldown menu.
- Press Apply and OK to exit the options menu. The embedded target has two UARTs. uC-Probe will be communicating with the uCProbe_uart.
