Black Magic Settings for IAR #544

Open JuttDB opened 5 years ago

JuttDB commented 5 years ago

hi, I like to use the BMP with IAR. I am using bluepill, successfully flashed with the latest release and com ports also visible in device manager. I am using windows 10. is there any special setting for IAR compiler ?

esden commented 2 years ago

I don't think BMP is supported by the IAR toolchain. We do not currently have plans to add support for it. You can still simply start GDB on your command line, flash and debug the artifacts generated by IAR.

All this considered, I will close this issue for now. When someone with an actual plan and/or knowledge of IAR wants to contribute support and documentation feel free to reopen this issue or create a new one to track progress.

They do support GDB image

but it requires IP not COM port image anyway we could simply provide a COM to IP proxy mini app?

What happens if you put in \\.\COMn\ where the lower-case n is the serial port number for the GDB interface on BMP? Unless they're being silly about it, that should work we'd think.

Regarding proxying, if using BMP properly doesn't wind up working, build BMDA (make PROBE_HOST=hosted HOSTED_BMP_ONLY=1) via MSYS2's UCRT64 environment. BMDA spins up an interface on localhost:2000 - no need to write something new to make this work in the advent that they've done a silly and not let you put arbitrary text in the box.

Yeah, these all fail

I guess GDB via UART is quite unique.

I gave up on building BMP on Windows, it would be a lot easier to use cmake+mingw. Is there a prebuilt binary?

dragonmux commented 10 months ago

It wouldn't be any easier with CMake and there is not a prebuilt binary for now due to dependencies - BMDA on Windows uses the MSYS2 UCRT64 environment and there is a complete tested guide scheduled for the website: https://github.com/blackmagic-debug/black-magic-org/commit/d51817e17c90efb2f0c4898f5b5ed241c4350e12 - please give this a try. Iff, because you're on W7, the UCRT64 environment fails to run and work, you will need to instead use the MinGW64 environment.

The instructions have been written with pacboy so should gracefully work on the new environment, you just won't be able to run the resulting binaries outside of it (and now you see why we don't have prebuilt binaries for now).

Edit to note: The replacement Meson build system will allow us to do fully statically linked builds using MSYS2's UCRT64 environment for Windows, so release v2.0 will be the first release we're able to actually provide prebuilt binaries of BMDA for Windows. This is a significantly simpler solution than CMake and more usable than Makefiles, especially as the way that Meson works removes all burden from us on how to make that work, baking that knowledge and information instead into the build system tool and having us just describe what we want built.
