Online debugging method and debugging host

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an online debugging method and a debugging host for reduced instruction set computers (RISC), which is mainly used for the online debugging process based on a RISC processor.

Abstract: The embodiment of the invention discloses an online debugging method and a debugging host and relates to the field of debugging of a processing chip. A visual debugging interface can be provided, the speed of inputting a debugging command is improved, the debugging response speed is low, and the debugging efficiency is improved. The method comprises the following steps of: displaying the visual debugging interface when target equipment is debugged; acquiring a communication parameter for connecting the debugging host with the target equipment, which is set through the visual debugging interface, and connecting the debugging host with the target equipment according to the communication parameter; acquiring a script file of a register of the target equipment, which is configured through the visual debugging interface; downloading the script file into the target equipment; and downloading a code to be debugged into the target equipment and executing debugging of the code to be debugged according to the debugging command after the register of the target equipment is set. The online debugging method is mainly used for the online debugging process based on a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) processor.
