IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm 9.70.x

Simulator menu (Imperas)

In this section:

The C-SPY simulator uses one of two debugger drivers. Which driver depends on which core or device you have selected for your application project, see The IAR C-SPY Simulator. When you use the Imperas simulator driver, this Simulator menu is added to the menu bar:

Menu commands

These commands are available on the menu:

Memory Configuration

Displays a dialog box, see Memory Configuration dialog box for the C-SPY simulator.

Disable Debugger Cache

Disables memory caching and memory range checking in C-SPY.

Normally, C-SPY uses the memory range information in the Memory Configuration dialog box both to restrict access to certain parts of target memory and to cache target memory contents for improved C-SPY performance. Under certain rare circumstances, this is not appropriate, and you can choose Disable Debugger Cache to turn off the caching and memory range checking completely. All accesses from C-SPY will then result in corresponding accesses to the target system. Some of those circumstances are:

  • When memory is remapped at runtime and cannot be specified as a fixed set of ranges.

  • When the memory range setup is incorrect or incomplete.

Breakpoint Usage

Opens a window which lists all active breakpoints, see Breakpoint Usage window.
