What do you want to do?

The Cores window is available from the View menu.

CoresWin_Hom7.0_RISCV.png

This window shows a list of all available cores, and gives some information about each core, such as its execution state. The line highlighted in bold is the core currently in focus, which means that any window showing information that is specific to a core will be updated to reflect the state of the core in focus. This includes highlights in editor windows and the Disassembly, Registers, Watch, Locals, Call Stack window, and so on. Double-click a line to focus on that core.

Note

For asymmetric multicore debugging, only local cores can be in focus.

See also Debugging multiple cores.

Requirements

One of these alternatives:

  • The C-SPY simulator

  • An I-jet or I-jet Trace debug probe

Display area

A row in this area shows information about a core, in these columns:

Execution state

Displays one of these icons to indicate the execution state of the core:

Core

The name of the core.

Status

The status of the execution, which can be one of Stopped, Running, Sleeping, or Unknown.

PC

The value of the program counter.

Cycles | Time

The value of the cycle counter or the execution time since the start of the execution, depending on the debugger driver you are using.

Context menu

For symmetric multicore debugging, this context menu is available:

CoresWinPopUp_Mym8.1_02.png

These commands are available:

Start Core

Starts the selected core.

Stop Core

Stops the selected core.

Focus on Core (also double-click)

Focuses on the selected core.

Run/Step/Stop affect all cores

The Run, Step, Stop commands affect all cores.

Run/Step/Stop affect current core only

The Run/Step/Stop commands only affect the current core. This menu command is only supported if your device supports it.

Note

These commands are not supported by all target hardware.
