Title: Re: [dsdp-tcf-dev] TCF Reference Agent

Doug,

We’re using some of the code from the reference agent in the CDT-EDC Windows debug agent and our Symbian debug agent but we’re not using the reference agent itself.

So we’re mostly interested in seeing the reference agent evolve into a framework for building agents in C/C++ and not so much in it’s implementation of some of the services. As you said, making it more flexible and pluggable, and getting the protocol to run over additional transport methods would be great.

Cool. Thanks Aaron. I think the common theme is to make the reference agent more flexible so that we can plug and play services more easily especially as we target different types of platforms. Any thoughts on how that could be done better would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Doug.

Hi Doug,
 
We are just starting on that path at Mentor.  In our immediate use case we plan to use the reference agent, perhaps with some services peeled out as the framework for a real-time trace collection daemon.   What we plan is a bit non standard though.  The agent will be serving as a proxy for other data, that is that the registers, file and maybe streaming services will actually be serving something other that the registers/files/etc of the machine that the agent is running on.  I will confess that I have not personally done anything yet other than poke around the agent code and look, so I am not sure how radical a refactoring we would be needing to do.  Perhaps you are thinking about the same things and plan to introduce a layer that decouples the protocol from the implementation a bit more?
 
cheers,

Hey gang,

 
I have a group in Wind River looking at improvements to the TCF reference  agent (more on that to come). But I was wondering if there was anyone actually  using the reference agent. Please help us and let us know here on the  list.
 

 
Thanks,
 
Doug.
