Hi Alexis,

 

You can use IMemoryBlockRetrievalExtension API from the Eclipse platform.

It should work with any debugger. For example:

 

IMemoryBlockRetrievalExtension mem_retrieval = (IMemoryBlockRetrievalExtension)debug_view_element.getAdapter(IMemoryBlockRetrievalExtension.class);

IMemoryBlock mem_block = mem_retrieval.getMemoryBlock(addr, size);

…

 

If you need better performance and more options, you can use TCF APIs directly.

See implementation of TCFMemoryBlock.getBytesFromAddress as an example.

 

Regards,

Eugene

Hi Everyone,

 

I am trying to develop an Eclipse plug-in that would allow to retrieve a memory bloc from a TCF target. I want it be generic enough so it is independent from the target hardware. The plug-in would be based on the TCF plug-in, and capable of retrieving a memory bloc based on the start address and the size. Is there any API provided as part of TCF that I could use from my plug-in?

 

I have a similar implementation for a GDB server, but I would like to be able to support both “Target Protocol”. For GDB I use DSF, but I am not able to find anything in TCF that would allow to reuse what I did in DSF.

 

Thanks in advance for your help,

Alexis
