Debug Commands

Set Trace Memory-Access Breakpoint
Set Trace Memory-Access Breakpoint
The BM command can set a trace memory-access breakpoint. A trace memory-access
breakpoint causes Debug to list the contents of specified variables each time the
breakpoint location is accessed in the specified manner. The trace form of the BM
command is:
address
is the address where the breakpoint is to occur. For more information, see Address
Syntax on page 3-12.
access
indicates the type of memory access that triggers the breakpoint. Valid options
depend on the type of processor you are using, as noted in list:
register
is a processor register. For more information, see Set Trace Code Breakpoint on
page 4-13 for description of this parameter.
start-address
is the address of the first variable to be listed. The syntax for start-address is
the same as the Address Syntax on page 3-12, limited to data locations only.
?
means list.
count
is a 16-bit expression representing the number of 16-bit words to be listed.
ALL
For more information, see Set Unconditional Memory-Access Breakpoint on page 4-24
for the description of this option.
BM address , access
{, {register | start-address } ? count [, ALL ] }
{ [ , ALL ] {register | start-address } ? count }
R Break on a read access
RW Break on a read/write access
WR Break on a read/write access; equivalent to RW
W Break on a write access
