Programmers can easily set a breakpoint on a C or assembler variable with a right mouse click on the variable name in the program source code. Complex breakpoints combining PC and data breakpoints can be quickly set up via an easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface. See below for more information on how our JTAG and BDM debugging software takes advantage of hardware data breakpoints. See an animated breakpoint tree... ColdFire BDM Debugger Programs Flash 4 July 2001 The BDM debugging software that is integrated into the Crossware Development Suite for the ColdFire family of chips will now program flash memory. ColdFire BDM Debugger supports Hardware PC and Data Breakpoints 4 July 2001 The BDM debugging software that is integrated into the Crossware Development Suite for the ColdFire family of chips now supports source level data breakpoints. If a software PC breakpoint cannot be set because the program is running in ROM, the debugger will automatically set a hardware PC breakpoint if possible. If a data breakpoint needs to be set to satisfy a source level data breakpoint condition, the debugger will automatically program the BDM breakpoint registers as appropiate. Cygnal JTAG Debugger supports Hardware Data Breakpoints and Hardware Stack Checking 4 July 2001 The debugging software for the Cygnal chips integrated into the Crossware 8051 Development Suite now supports source level data breakpoints. It will program the Cygnal on-chip emulator via either Cygnal's EC1 or EC2 cartridge transparently setting up it's four byte-wide watchpoints as appropriate. It will also automatically setup the emulator's stack overflow and underflow traps to transparently monitor the stack whenever the debugger is running your program. 8051 Development Suite supports Cygnal C8051F0xx Microcontrollers Crossware has announced enhancements to it 8051 Development Suite that make it ideal for the development of software for the Cygnal (www.cygnal.com) C8051F0xx family of chips.
