Creating and debugging Rasperry Pi Projects

To create a new Rasperry Pi project

• Select the File > New > New Project menu item.
• Select the appropriate Raspberry Pi project from the Categories list.
• Select the required project template type from the Templates list.
• Set the required project name and location directory.
• Click OK.

To build an application

• Select the project to work on by using the Project > Set Active Project menu option.
• Select the configuration you require by using the Build > Set Active Build Configuration menu option.
• Build the project by using the Build > Build Project menu option.

To load an application using the Raspberry Pi SD card (and a host computer)

• If this is the first time then backup the kernel.img file on the Raspberry Pi SD card.
• Use File | Open CrossStudio | Project Folder to get a File Explorer on the project directory.
• Copy the kernel.img produced by the application build to the file kernel.img on the Raspberry Pi SD card.

To debug an application via JTAG

• Ensure that the file config.txt on the root of the SD card has the following command to enable the JTAG port on the 40-way header: enable_jtag_gpio=1.
• Ensure that the Raspberry Pi has booted (via the SD card) a kernel.img produced by the CrossWorks build process.
• Connect to the appropriate target in the target window.
• Download and start debugging the current project by using Debug > Start Debugging.

Raspberry Pi Project Specifics

Target Startup Code

The startup code Raspberry_Pi_Startup.s contains the exceptions vectors, reset_handler and irq_handler code. There are a set of preprocessor defines that configure the startup code which are documented in the startup file itself.

Target Reset Script

The reset script Raspberry_Pi_Target.js stops the target then turns off and invalidates the cache. Since there is no (known) way to reset a Raspberry Pi under debug control you should reset any peripheral registers here if your application assumes them to be in a reset state.

CTL support

The file Raspberry_Pi_ctl_board.c implements the ctl_set_isr, ctl_unmask_isr and ctl_mask_isr functions by programming the BCM2835 interrupt controller register group. The vector parameter to these functions corresponds to the interrupts table in the BCM2835 ARM Peripherals document. The priority and trigger parameters to the ctl_set_isr function are not used. The startup code Raspberry_Pi_Startup.s implements the irq_handler exception handler. This file also implements the CTL timer using the ARM Timer and has led and button support.

Header and Memory map files

The file Raspberry_Pi_MemoryMap.xml describes the memory and peripherals of the Raspberry Pi and BCM2835. The file BCM2835_IO.h is a C header file that is generated from the memory map file.
