Variables

u_int micros_high

t_traceitem * trace_items
 Trace buffer, initialized by NutTraceInit.
t_traceitem * trace_current

char trace_mask [TRACE_TAG_LAST+1]
 Mask to individually disable tracing of specific event types.

Define Documentation

#define TRACE_ADD_ITEM (  TAG,
PC   ) 
 

Macro to insert an event in the trace buffer

Parameters:
TAG Type of event
PC Additional information, depending on the type of event

#define TRACE_ADD_ITEM_PC (  TAG   ) 
 

Macro to insert an event in the trace buffer, filling the additional information field with the program counter (PC)

Parameters:
TAG Type of event

Function Documentation

void NutTraceClear (  void   ) 
 

Clears the trace buffer, but leaves trace_mode unaltered.

int NutTraceGetPC (  void   ) 
 

Returns the program counter (PC) of the instruction following NutGetPC The .map file of the application can be used to find the actual C Code

WARNING: Most likely only works on AVR. Works by inspecting the stack, thus the function breaks when local variables are introduced in NutGetPC

Returns:
int Program counter

int NutTraceInit (  int  size,
char  mode
) 
 

Initializes the trace buffer and activates tracing. Starts timer 1 for microsecond clock, enables interrupt on overflow

Parameters:
size Number of items in the trace buffer
mode Mode of operation
  • #TRACE_MODE_CIRCULAR Trace buffer wraps around when full
  • #TRACE_MODE_ONESHOT Traceing is stopped when buffer is full
Returns:
int Status

void NutTraceMaskClear (  int  tag  ) 
 

Disables tracing of a particular event type

Parameters:
tag of event to disable

void NutTraceMaskPrint (  void   ) 
 

Prints the current state of trace_mask, which for every type of event (TRACE_TAG_XXX) determines, whether they are inserted in the trace buffer or not.

void NutTraceMaskSet (  int  tag  ) 
 

Enables tracing of a particular event type

Parameters:
tag of event to enable

void NutTracePrint (  int  size  ) 
 

Prints the current contents of the trace buffer

Parameters:
size can be used to limit the number of printed items, if size==0, then all items of the buffer are printed

int NutTraceRegisterUserTag (  int  tag,
char *  tag_string
) 
 

Registers a user event type

Parameters:
tag of the new event type (e.g. #define TRACE_USER_SEND 0)
tag_string name of the event type used when printing the trace buffer

void NutTraceStatusPrint (  void   ) 
 

Prints current status of tracing facility

void NutTraceStop (  void   ) 
 

Sets trace_mode to #TRACE_MODE_OFF and thus stop tracing

void NutTraceTerminal (  u_char *  arg  ) 
 

Commands to manipulate the tracing facility

Parameters:
arg String containing the commands
  • print <size> calls NutPrintTrace
  • oneshot restarts tracing in the oneshot mode
  • circular restarts tracing in the ciruclar mode
  • size <size> restarts tracing in the current mode, using a buffer of length <size>
  • stop stops tracing
