Hi Chris,
Thank you for your help!
I use the C55 platform. And shall I write the driver when I want to use
" probe points"?
Best regards,
Davy
No not at all. The purpose of probe points is to let you inject or
eject data under the debugger (or I suppose under the simulator as well)
with a great deal of ease, ie., without having to write any drivers.
In a simulated application, or in an app under development where some
system components (and their drivers) responsible for supplying data to
the DSP or doing something with data generated by the DSP are not yet
available, the DSP developer would be able to get work done by having a
way to virtualize the data flow. The probe points allow this. But they
are implemented by the debugger, not by lines of code which call some
stdio library for instance. They allow you to develop the data
processing algorithms in the absence of the code that actually IOs the
data. Later of course you will have to implement the code that will
interact with whatever hardware to IO the real data.
But the way to get started understanding all this is to invest the time
working through all the tutorials, giving at least a brief read through
the most relevant user guides and app notes, then starting to write some
experiment apps.
