fmstr_example_pdbdm#
Overview#
Example application uses JTAG or BDM debugging interface to access the target RAM directly while the CPU is running. Note that such approach can be used with any MCU application, even without any special driver code. The computer reads from and writes into the RAM directly without CPU intervention. The Packet-Driven BDM (PD-BDM) communication uses the same memory access to exchange command and response frames. With PD-BDM, the FreeMASTER tool is able to go beyond basic memory read/write operations and accesses also advanced features like Recorder, TSA, or Pipes. The typical transmission speed is around 10 kbps. A PD-BDM communication plug-in must be used in FreeMASTER and configured properly for the selected debugging interface. Note that this communication cannot be used while a debugging interface is used by a debugger session.
Supported Boards#
EVKB-IMXRT1050
Hardware requirements
Mini/micro USB cable
Target microcontroller board
Personal Computer
FreeMASTER 2.5 or later installed on PC
Board settings
No special settings are required. The demo communicates by uploading and downloading communication frames directly to/from the microcontroller RAM buffer using the Debug USB port. Standard debugger must not be active during the FreeMASTER communication.
Prepare the demo
Connect a USB cable between the host PC and the Debug USB port on the target board.
Use one of the flash-based build targets.
Compile and download the program to the target microcontroller.
Run and resume application execution when debugger stops in the main() function.
Disconnect the debugger
Terminate the debugger session to release the JTAG interface for FreeMASTER use.
Reset the target board to make sure it runs after detaching the debugger.
Connect with FreeMASTER
Run FreeMASTER, use the Connection Wizard or open Project Options.
Select communication using the FreeMASTER Packet Driven BDM Communication (PD-BDM) plug-in.
Configure the PD-BDM plug-in:
Use the same “underlying” BDM/JTAG interface as used in debugger (typically CMSIS-DAP).
Configure this BDM/JTAG interface and test its connection.
Specify or search for a RAM address of the “_pdbdm” communication buffer.
Test connection and close the configuration dialog.
Start communication, FreeMASTER loads the initial TSA Active Content links in the Welcome page.
Click the “FreeMASTER Demonstration Project (embedded in device)” in the Welcome page.
The demo is now running, you should be able to watch variable values and graphs.

Hardware requirements
Mini/micro USB cable
Target microcontroller board
Personal Computer
FreeMASTER 2.5 or later installed on PC
Multi-core considerations
There are example applications prepared for both CM4 and CM7 cores of the RT117x target platform. The debugger is typically able to load and run the code on any of the cores, but only one core is default (CM7) and will run automatically after reset. This means that the flash-based targets (and both Debug and Release targets on MCUXpresso IDE) are only usable on the default core. Also note that the PDBDM demo cannot run simultaneously with the debugger session, which makes the RAM-based targets unusable.
SDRAM considerations
Note that the PDBDM buffer must be put in non-cacheable memory. In SDRAM targets, the _pdbdm buffer is put to non-cacheable section by user code in main.c.

No special settings are required. The demo communicates by uploading and downloading communication frames directly to/from the microcontroller RAM buffer using the Debug USB port. Standard debugger must not be active during the FreeMASTER communication.

FRDM-K22F
Hardware requirements
Mini/micro USB cable
Target microcontroller board
Personal Computer
FreeMASTER 2.5 or later installed on PC
Board settings
No special settings are required. The demo communicates by uploading and downloading communication frames directly to/from the microcontroller RAM buffer using the Debug USB port. Standard debugger must not be active during the FreeMASTER communication.
Prepare the demo
Connect a USB cable between the host PC and the Debug USB port on the target board.
Use one of the flash-based build targets.
Compile and download the program to the target microcontroller.
Run and resume application execution when debugger stops in the main() function.
Disconnect the debugger
Terminate the debugger session to release the JTAG interface for FreeMASTER use.
Reset the target board to make sure it runs after detaching the debugger.
Connect with FreeMASTER
Run FreeMASTER, use the Connection Wizard or open Project Options.
Select communication using the FreeMASTER Packet Driven BDM Communication (PD-BDM) plug-in.
Configure the PD-BDM plug-in:
Use the same “underlying” BDM/JTAG interface as used in debugger (typically CMSIS-DAP).
Configure this BDM/JTAG interface and test its connection.
Specify or search for a RAM address of the “_pdbdm” communication buffer.
Test connection and close the configuration dialog.

Note to CM4/CM0+ core execution
The target MCU is a dual core consisting of Cortex M4 and Cortex M0+ cores. The MCU boots by running CM4 core by default, so the cm4 example projects will run without any change. The cm0plus examples will not run automatically. You should be able to use a debugger session (tested in IAR EWARM IDE) to upload the compiled code to MCU RAM and start the CM0+ core to execute it. In a typical application, the CM4 core will boot and will set up the execution environment for the CM0+ core. Alternatively, you can set the CM0+ core to be the default booting core as described at https://wiki.segger.com/K32W#Boot_ROM. In any case, make sure that only one of the cores will access the communication peripheral module and will handle the FreeMASTER communication.

Connect a USB cable between the host PC and the Debug USB port on the target board.
Use one of the flash-based build targets.
Compile and download the program to the target microcontroller.
Run and resume application execution when debugger stops in the main() function.
Disconnect the debugger
Terminate the debugger session to release the JTAG interface for FreeMASTER use.
Reset the target board to make sure it runs after detaching the debugger.
Connect with FreeMASTER
Run FreeMASTER, use the Connection Wizard or open Project Options.
Select communication using the FreeMASTER Packet Driven BDM Communication (PD-BDM) plug-in.
Configure the PD-BDM plug-in:
Use the same “underlying” BDM/JTAG interface as used in debugger (typically CMSIS-DAP).
Configure this BDM/JTAG interface and test its connection.
Specify or search for a RAM address of the “_pdbdm” communication buffer.
Test connection and close the configuration dialog.
Start communication, FreeMASTER loads the initial TSA Active Content links in the Welcome page.
Click the “FreeMASTER Demonstration Project (embedded in device)” in the Welcome page.
The demo is now running, you should be able to watch variable values and graphs.

FreeMASTER 2.5 or later installed on PC
Board settings
No special settings are required. The demo communicates by uploading and downloading communication frames directly to/from the microcontroller RAM buffer using the Debug USB port. Standard debugger must not be active during the FreeMASTER communication.
Prepare the demo
Connect a USB cable between the host PC and the Debug USB port on the target board.
Use one of the flash-based build targets.
Compile and download the program to the target microcontroller.
Run and resume application execution when debugger stops in the main() function.
Disconnect the debugger
Terminate the debugger session to release the JTAG interface for FreeMASTER use.
Reset the target board to make sure it runs after detaching the debugger.
Connect with FreeMASTER
Run FreeMASTER, use the Connection Wizard or open Project Options.
Select communication using the FreeMASTER Packet Driven BDM Communication (PD-BDM) plug-in.
Configure the PD-BDM plug-in:
Use the same “underlying” BDM/JTAG interface as used in debugger (typically CMSIS-DAP).
Configure this BDM/JTAG interface and test its connection.
Specify or search for a RAM address of the “_pdbdm” communication buffer.
Test connection and close the configuration dialog.
Start communication, FreeMASTER loads the initial TSA Active Content links in the Welcome page.
Click the “FreeMASTER Demonstration Project (embedded in device)” in the Welcome page.
The demo is now running, you should be able to watch variable values and graphs.
