Posted on December 05, 2005 at 04:28Dear ST7 support team,
I like very much the STVD7 simulator because I found it very useful in firmware debugging.
I am grateful to you for the VCD output enhancement, which I asked you some months ago.
It allows me to show important state information in a logic-analyzer-style graph, which is another powerful tool of STVD7.
I digged a bit through the gdb menus but I found no code coverage tool. (BTW: I found a performance analyzer tool, but no information on how to use it).
Now I realize that some minor changes (and your programming efforts) could enhance the already high quality of STVD7. These changes are simple: whenever the core fetches an instruction, mark the location as ''executed''.
At the end of the simulation, it would very easy to tell which code executed and which not.
Thanks
EtaPhi
