- CENTINEL
-
- THE MAJOR PHENIX DEBUGGING TOOL
-
- 1. CENTINEL IS MULTI-PROCESSOR
- CENTinel provides two kind of windows: DSP-windows and
- 030/40/60-windows. Each processor is independent and you can trace,
- run, broke, edit each one or both (even more, one of them can break
- the other).
- With CENTinel, you can snoop the transactions between the DSP
- 56x01 and the 030/40/60 and avoid the use of two different
- debuggers.
-
-
- 2. CENTINEL IS USER-FRIENDLY
- First, it uses a colorful display mode, or extended screen mode using
- CENTscreen or DOLMEN. It uses a proprietary window-system (up to 32
- windows). You can move, resize each window as you like. You can also
- create, delete, split them.
- When you feel ready to work, just have a look at the drop-down
- menus and save your config ! The next time you[U+2019]ll find your config back.
- Of course, you can have many configs which you can load at any time
- (using CENTinel[U+2019]s file selector).
- The config file is an ASCII file, easy to modify. You[U+2019]ll be able to change
- the colors and set some advanced preferences.
- CENTinel makes it possible to debug your code in 1024*768(and
- more !)*16c , with as many windows as you need and where you
- need them.
-
-
- 3. CENTINEL IS POWERFUL
- CENTinel is very hard to crash because it runs in IPL 7. It may also use
- a shifted VBR.
- CENTinel can break any program by using shift-alt-help for the 030/40/60 and
- ctrl-alt-help for the DSP.
- CENTinel[U+2019]s wonderful evaluator allows complex expressions, including
- all 030/40/60 addressing modes.
- With such a power, your imagination is the only limit. Just forget
- the debugger.
-
-
- 4. CENTINEL HAS HIGH LEVEL CAPABILITIES
- With CENTinel, you will be able to use the source-code to debug your
- programs. The languages supported are assembly, C (GCC & PureC in
- progress) for the 030/40/60 AND the DSP !
- The supported executable file format includes MOTOROLA[U+2019]s .CLD
- (Common Object File Format) for the 56001/56301.
- Mixing both processors programs and debugging them using their
- sources makes CENTinel an indispensable time-saving tool.
